They turned out gorgeous! I'm sorry she had to take them off and couldn't enjoy them for very long. 😔 I LOVE watching you help Ana and she is very pretty! I'd love to see the Halloween set you did for her also if you filmed it that is. Thank you Ana for letting us see how far you've come. I am so proud of you!! Your nails are looking so much better and healthier!! Keep up the good work! ♥️ Also, thank you Anastasia for keeping us updated on my favorite client of yours. 🤗
Love your video’s, they have given me the courage to finally go have my nails done and it had been a really big deal for me. I see more men getting this done all the time. Mine are short acrylic and they look and feel good. Yes, im a man.
It's so wonderful to see these people getting help. I just recently stopped my 10-year habit. It's fascinating to look at my hands and see no inflammation around the nail bed and no bleeding or nail tags. They are short but clean and I wish the best for anyone who wants to stop. Although getting a manicure works and brings confidence, a more cheaper way is to getting no bite nail polish. That's how I did it.
I wouldn't advise this for everyone, but what helps me with the hang nails is learning to use the sphere buffing bits on my skin around the nails. I get more comfortable with the e file each time I use it, and this is due to Anastasia's channel. Thank you again!
Anna's nail journey really inspired me to grow my own nails i was also a nail bitter for years now have grown out my own nails with the help of my nail techs so thank you so much❤
My favorite client! Ana! Merry Christmas ladies, it's always a pleasure to learn from Anastasia and watch Ana get her nail makeover. She's a hard working chef and deserves the pampering! Her hands are looking looking much improved.
From a former biter (from childhood!), have Anna carry a cuticle nipper or a something to occupy her fingers that simulate the movement but prevent her from doing the action. Something like play-doh, putty, slime, tangle teezer, any sort of fidget toy is really great in breaking habits where we don't know when we are doing it. It's about recognition and replacing with the fidget.
Ana!! I love her videos. Maybe she doesn’t come in for refills on time, but she’s persistent! That’s all she needs to eventually overcome nail biting. YOU GOT THIS ANA! We’re rooting for you!
I'm just like Anna. I am a lifelong nail biter and if my nails are done I don't bite. But the minute one lifts or breaks.... It's game over and I bite them all hahaha! We'll probably both struggle with this forever. Much love to Anna 💜💜💜
I sympathize with Anna and her nail biting issue...it's very hard to kick the habit! I too found out that having even regular nail polish was doing wonders to help me curb the habit - 20 years without biting until the pandemic...then anxiety and boredom settled and even with polish my nails were having it pretty bad. The first video I watched from your channel was from Anna's nails last year, and seeing all the progress you both made motivated me to get into extensions and overlays, and also therapy.
Girl you r so beautiful I have never seen your face! If anyone ever tells you a negative thing just think about all the comments you probably get, we all love you!! ❤️❤️🔥
I love your videos! I especially like when you show returning clients with nail issues, like Anna. I have horrible curved & splitting nails, as well as chewed up cuticles, so seeing Anna's nail journey is encouraging! Btw: I AM & HAVE been subscribed to your channel for a few years! 😉
So here’s one for a funny story that I think you’ll love. My dad (who recently passed)used to tell me when I would bite my nails that they wouldn’t digest(because when I was a kid I would actually swallow them. I know it’s gross)! Sort of like people used to say about gum. It freaked me out so much that I stopped biting my nails after biting them for at least 10 years. I can sympathize with her 😊and the nails are fabulous!
Lol. Mine told me that all the small nails will form to one huge giant nail in the stomach and kill me. Sounds creepy, I know but I stopped biting them as well and never did it again
I would absolutely love to see you give Anacrylics a try!! I'm pretty sure I've only ever seen the creator of the products use them (they seem amazing!) But I love watching your work and think you would enjoy them 😊💜
Oh nooo poor Anna!! I'm sorry she couldn't enjoy the beautiful set of nails, she just can't get a break! I'm sure you made up for it with another one of your brilliant 💅🏻
Beautiful work and I can relate to Ana so much! I started doing my nails 2 years ago because I bit my nails very badly! I started using regular varnish top coat and then colors! And I ordered a polygel kit soon after and then acrylic! I haven't bitten my nails since and am now able to apply acrylic/gels/polygel with confidence and do my friends nails!!! You've helped a lot with all your videos! Thank you so much:)
I just got caught up on your last few videos you posted. Thank you so much for answering my question 😊. I’m looking to your classes you offer. Hopefully I can enroll soon! You are an amazing teacher.
I’m also a nail biter, and skin biter. Always have been. And the only thing that works for me is to have enhancements, or overlay at all times.I have to change my nails, or fill in every two weeks. If it chips, or anything like that, I bite them. Love the set, and thank you so much for all your videos!🤩
I didn’t know you or Ana before now. I really enjoy Ana’s story because it reminds me of myself. So amazing to feel not alone in your nail-skin-biting life. I’m 31, still struggl’’ with my nails and skin. But we can do it Ana! I hope xD
*Awwww Ana honey, I feel your pain!* My nails always looked EXACTLY like yours, almost all 35 years of my life (in fact, my parents don’t even remember how young I was when I started biting them…to the best of anyone’s memory, it was just something that I had always done)! I truly wish I had some kind of wise words, or advice to share about how to quit the habit-but the circumstance surrounding how I stopped biting mine was really, *REALLY bizarre* and wouldn’t be helpful to you in the slightest.🥺 I know you probably won’t see this, but I’m still wishing you the best of luck in your journey to end the habit -and I’m 100% positive that you will eventually accomplish it!💖☺️
80% has to go to 20% by next week! i have been a subscriber since over a year and watch you tons. You've inspired me so much to do my own nails since then :) keep up the great work and transformations!
Anna sure is a beautiful young lady and I notice she as lovely long fingers and nails 💅🏻 look so beautiful on her it’s so sad they had to come off but just show’s what a loving person she is to put others first u done as always beautiful work for anna and anna if u do get to read this please try harder to not bite your skin and nails and maybe try getting help to reason why if possible as your hands are very pretty as your kind personality good luck for the future 🥰🥰
American restaurants usually won't let their employees wear anything on their nails either. It's a food safety thing, just in case something comes off and ends up in someone's food. Tell Anna she's doing really well! She's so gorgeous!
Maybe Ana can try just carrying a small nail file. When I get the dry skin on the sides and want to bite off the skin, instead I will lightly do a couple of strokes on the skin on each side of each nail, then they are gone and the skin is nice and soft. This keeps me from chewing the skin.
I am a biter like Anna. I always have product on my nails. For 7 years now. When I take it off, I start biting again. So I learned to do my own nails so I can repair them any time.
I'm the same as Ana as far as having the urge to pick my nails and skin go away when I'm wearing enhancements. I've also bitten and picked since childhood, though I mostly stopped biting as a teen when I had braces. I've been learning to do various kinds of nail enhancements myself at home so that I never have to go too long. I also change up nail art a couple times a week as it gives me an outlet and helps prevent hang nails
@@wioi I use a peel off base coat and just change the nail art, leaving the extension there for weeks/months underneath with fills. Sometimes it's just changing colors of gel polish which really doesn't take long because of the peel off base making removal so easy. Plus, doing my nails *is* one of my hobbies. It's a great self-care activity and creative outlet. It's doing art that you can wear.
This set is gorgeous 🤍 gold and white is my favorite combination. But I would never accept to work in a place where nails are not allowed. It might sound spoiled, but I am sure we are all capable of finding or creating a workplace where we have freedom to decide what we will look like. I am saying this because I used to work on cruise ships and they have such awful rules about appearance (recently they realized that those rules are very backward). We wore ugly uniforms at the reception, had to move our hair and tie it, and we were allowed only minimal make up. We looked horrible in those grey suits...and we were allowed only nude nails...I hated that and started using pale gold, silver, shimmery nudes but I couldn't take it so I quit. The funniest thing was that I made friends with passengers because of my nails. There wasn't a person (male or female) that hasn't complimented me on my nails. That has made such a difference, especially when dealing with a problem they had. So, I quit and found a much better job where I could be myself 100%. Now I'm in the middle of my self-employment journey and I will do everything to keep it this way.
Hi Anastasia! Please explain how you do the extensions without getting any acrylic on the skin area close to bitten free edge? Especially when you build the free edge “on air”
I have a form of body dismorphic disorder that causes me to pick at any imperfections on my skin, not just things like scabs and hangnails but any kind of bump or dry patch or area where the skin isn't completely smooth. Keeping extensions on makes it harder for me to pick because I don't have the "leverage" to really get at the imperfection. When I don't take care of my nails or have a breakage, I start with picking at my cuticles, and then I move on to picking in other areas. The only way to stop it is to put more product on.
Hi hun just a quick question, why do you have your efile at a speed of 16,000 for the cuticle prep when I qualified as a nail tech I was taught to never go higher than 5,000 for that area or and area on the natural nail thanks for your help ❤❤
Hi, thank you and Anna for the videos! In order to help Anna with her bitting nails habit I would suggest that you use a less resistant product like a regular nail polish so that she has to come in your studio more often, like every week or two weeks. In my opinion, she is left by herself for too long with her nails. She maybe get bored with them with time.
Does Anna have cuticle nippers of her own? Seems like if she had some, she could nip it off before she starts biting and then apply cuticle oil. I used to be a nail biter when I was a child and stopped biting them one at a time. First I let the pinky grow, and bit all the rest. Next I added another nail, still biting the rest. I loved how the unbitten nails looked and the more nails I did not bite, the more I broke the habit, until I no longer bit my nails at all. I will still want to bite if I get a rough cuticle, so I keep nippers with me and use them quickly before I bite. I hope this helps!
I had the same problem when I was a child and teenager, I was biting my nails a lot and sometimes it would begin to bleed. The only way I would stop biting my nails, was if I had nail polish on. So for years I had nail polish on everyday, and it made me completly stop biting them even without polish on.
Ana's been up to her old tricks again 😂. BTW- you're supposed to wash your tools/bits in warm soapy water after every client using a brush to scrub the clogged areas before sanitising and disinfecting.
I used to bite my nails and skin as well all through out my childhood and early teens, I tried literally everything you could think of to stop but nothing worked. It was so bad that my skin was constantly torn and bloody and got infected sometimes. I was only able to stop once I got braces, because then I couldn't reach the skin anymore with the added brackets on my teeth... and since I had to wear braces for a very long time it helped me to stop the habit, but I still have to take extremely good care of my cuticles and get hang nails within the blink of an eye :( so I know this isn't very helpful for Anna in order to stop that habit, but maybe it would help using retainers or something like that so she can't physically bite the skin...
For anyone who's a nail biter and has tried one of those "bitter polish" things, how well do they work? I've heard of kids just chewing away despite the bitter taste but I'd like to know how it actually is using them from the perspective of people who bite their nails subconsciously.
I'm so shocked to see how much cuticle there was to trim! I feel like in the beginning there was almost no prep to do on the nails. Shes definitely come a long way! Her nails look so much healthier.
I felt your pain when you said how sad it was that she had to remove the extension...my question is how would they know if they aren't her real nails? Besides the obvious fact that your work is so good that they just look like her own nails that she gets painted & they are short enough that most people wouldn't even question it so I'm just curious...
That's a good question! I was wondering the same thing.. As far as understood even the color nail polish is not allowed. So, I guess they could tell by a color - as nails were white & gold. Maybe if we've done nude nails with no design - it would've worked 🤔
If we are working on ourselves, how do we know whether to use clockwise or counterclockwise? I am right handed so I would think it’s counter if I’m working in my left and clockwise if I am working on my right? Or does it go by left to right and right to left? Lol. I’m confused
If you're right handed you obviously would use the forward position on your left hand and reverse on your right hand. When you do your cuticles+ epynochium on your left hand use the forward position from the middle of the cuticle toward your body and reverse from the middle of your cuticle away from you. Hope this helps. Also, not all drill bits work in reverse. All diamond bits do but not all carbide or ceramic bits do. There are special bits for left handed people they can be used for doing the right hand so work with left hand - reverse position . Hope this helps
I bit my nails for most my life. My mom also tried many things to stop me and nothing worked. Like Ana the smallest chip or abnormaity, then i would bite and bite until nothing left. I eventually started carrying a rough nail file a finer one and nippers... instead of biting off i then reached for these to get rid of loose skin, hang nails etc. It is a difficult habit to break but eventually in my 20's i stopped by forcing myself to form new habits
Getting my nails done was the only way I was able to stop biting my nails. I am a chef as well and it’s been a journey but I used to bite my skin when my nails were done but not my nails. It’s possible but she has to be diligent. I am a year of no biting.
Oh my gosh I've been a lifelong nail biter and I'm the exact same way she is! Oddly enough they say it's a symptom of OCD that most are just born with.
I was a nail biter since childhood also. The thing that cured me was going to school veterinary assistant. I learned all about the nasty things that get on your hands and under your nails. Blood, urine, feces, medications and even parasites can be on your hands. 🤮
Ana is freaking gorgeous! It's great to see the transformation of her nails with your help 😍 I've been learning so much from watching your channel 🙌🖤
i was breathtaken when i saw her! wish i had her ig haha
They turned out gorgeous! I'm sorry she had to take them off and couldn't enjoy them for very long. 😔 I LOVE watching you help Ana and she is very pretty! I'd love to see the Halloween set you did for her also if you filmed it that is. Thank you Ana for letting us see how far you've come. I am so proud of you!!

We finally see her! She’s pretty ! That hair 😍
Love your video’s, they have given me the courage to finally go have my nails done and it had been a really big deal for me. I see more men getting this done all the time. Mine are short acrylic and they look and feel good. Yes, im a man.

That's exactly why I never answer my phone when I'm on vacation and see work calling, they can figure out whatever it is without me 😂
Girl you r so beautiful I have never seen your face! If anyone ever tells you a negative thing just think about all the comments you probably get, we all love you!! ❤️❤️🔥
Thank you ! 😘
Oh wow how gorgeous is Anna. I absolutely love her beautiful hair. Nails look amazing as always. Anastasia ur truly so talented.
Wow so pretty. I'm a professional nail tech/ cosmetologist and I always learn so much with you. Thank you!❤🙏🏼
Thank you so much!

I would call this set classy Christmas.

Oddly enough, I stopped biting my nails when I started to do my own nails. I think maybe my obsession transferred into doing nails.

So pretty. Keep up the good work Anna really proud of you
I love the minions dress😄
Wearing acrylics helped me quite my biting habit. But during the Lockdowns, I watched tons of videos on gels and learned how to do my own nails.
I love this set. I keep my natural nails about this length and would love to try this design!!
Anna seems so nice and you could tell that she trust you completely with her nails who wouldn’t, I have the same problem as Anna I also bite my nail
Beautiful
I was learning for my history exam but I got a notification from your channel, so here I am✨♥️
Luv them😍😍😍😍
Oh no..... I would've cried if I had to take off a fresh set 😭 😩
oh no, this girl is killing me lol such a badddd habit to have! You do suchhh an amazing job!
You are a miracle worker!
I love this design it's so simple yet classy. Maybe I will do this for my New Year's nails
Beautiful transformation!
Wow these are amazing I love this 😀 😍
Beautiful set! So sad that Anna had to remove them
Poor Anna, she couldn't even enjoy vacation. I hope she gets an extra long vacation soon.
Maybe Ana can try just carrying a small nail file. When I get the dry skin on the sides and want to bite off the skin, instead I will lightly do a couple of strokes on the skin on each side of each nail, then they are gone and the skin is nice and soft. This keeps me from chewing the skin.
Oh I love this set on Anna🤩 and yay, you have mentioned your Online Academy in the last videos!🥳 Good girl,lol👏😂😘
This would be so cool with stained glass polish on top!
It’s so nice to see you in the intro! Great work as always! 💜
Thank you!! 😊

I LOVE the. Cuticle cleaning!!
It always surprises me that Anna doesn't seem to care for her nails at all between services, is no oil or anything.
First of all, please know that we are all invested in Ana’s nails at this point…
Oh, those were beautiful. It's so sad she had to take them right off again!
Can i please ask how long this set took you from start to finish? They are fabulous 💖
Richtig spitze top👍👍👍
So pretty! How can you tell how fast your drill is going when your file does not have a digital read out?
Aw snap! That’s a bummer that she didn’t get to keep her nails longer. I would’ve been so 😡 - glad she was able to get new extensions though.
Hi Anastasia!

For anyone who's a nail biter and has tried one of those "bitter polish" things, how well do they work? I've heard of kids just chewing away despite the bitter taste but I'd like to know how it actually is using them from the perspective of people who bite their nails subconsciously.
Why did you choose acrylic instead of polygel to extend this time?
May I ask long this service took you from start to finish?
How do u know when u have gotten all the skin off the nail plate?
I'm so shocked to see how much cuticle there was to trim! I feel like in the beginning there was almost no prep to do on the nails. Shes definitely come a long way! Her nails look so much healthier.
I felt your pain when you said how sad it was that she had to remove the extension...my question is how would they know if they aren't her real nails? Besides the obvious fact that your work is so good that they just look like her own nails that she gets painted & they are short enough that most people wouldn't even question it so I'm just curious...
That's a good question! I was wondering the same thing..
As far as understood even the color nail polish is not allowed. So, I guess they could tell by a color - as nails were white & gold.
Maybe if we've done nude nails with no design - it would've worked 🤔
If we are working on ourselves, how do we know whether to use clockwise or counterclockwise? I am right handed so I would think it’s counter if I’m working in my left and clockwise if I am working on my right? Or does it go by left to right and right to left? Lol. I’m confused
If you're right handed you obviously would use the forward position on your left hand and reverse on your right hand. When you do your cuticles+ epynochium on your left hand use the forward position from the middle of the cuticle toward your body and reverse from the middle of your cuticle away from you. Hope this helps. Also, not all drill bits work in reverse. All diamond bits do but not all carbide or ceramic bits do. There are special bits for left handed people they can be used for doing the right hand so work with left hand - reverse position . Hope this helps
I recently bought an e-file but it cannot switch its rotation. Would that be a major problem?
I bit my nails for most my life. My mom also tried many things to stop me and nothing worked. Like Ana the smallest chip or abnormaity, then i would bite and bite until nothing left. I eventually started carrying a rough nail file a finer one and nippers... instead of biting off i then reached for these to get rid of loose skin, hang nails etc. It is a difficult habit to break but eventually in my 20's i stopped by forcing myself to form new habits
I can't find the first Anna vid, why aren't they in order? I'd like to watch the entire journey.
Omg I would be so sad cause I am a nail bitter and I do my nails and at my job there not so strict which I really thank god
Getting my nails done was the only way I was able to stop biting my nails. I am a chef as well and it’s been a journey but I used to bite my skin when my nails were done but not my nails. It’s possible but she has to be diligent. I am a year of no biting.
Oh my gosh I've been a lifelong nail biter and I'm the exact same way she is! Oddly enough they say it's a symptom of OCD that most are just born with.
I really hope that Ana's employer paid her for the nails that she had to take off so she can help them out!
When I got my nails done last week, the technician added acrylic tips with glue before she applied the gel over the whole nail.
I was a nail biter since childhood also. The thing that cured me was going to school veterinary assistant. I learned all about the nasty things that get on your hands and under your nails. Blood, urine, feces, medications and even parasites can be on your hands. 🤮
