HOW TO TAKE PHOTOS: 

Please take pictures as seen in this quick video:
🎬 https://youtube.com/shorts/kkdeybu2vFs?feature=share

  1. REMOVE your nail polish or WIPE the nails with PURE ACETONE or 96-99% IPA (ALCOHOL)
  2. Use white background (for example a towel)
  3. Direct lighting in front of the nails (desk lamp) close to the nails. Make sure you can see a light bouncing off the nails. Bright indoor light is not enough!
  4. Wipe the camera lens with a soft cloth.
  5. Place your nails in the middle of the screen approx 6 inches/15 cm away from the phone
  6. Tap the area you want the camera to focus on (nails)
  7. Holding the phone still take a picture 
  8. Repeat with other nails. 
  9. Check for the quality before you send. Zoom in and see if the images are sharp. The images have to be in "actual size" (high resolution, large file). Usually adding them as attachments is better than adding them as pictures to your email.Do not edit or crop them.
  10. Smartphones are more than able to take good images but the iPads not. 

PS. When purchasing this service please enter your email you actually have access to and REPLY to the confirmation email you automatically receive with all your info and pictures.
To avoid future confusion and chargebacks I'm unable to respond to different emails etc. The email I send the video to has to match the email on the order

Very helpful for figuring out what works for me

I've been at a loss for what to try next to get my nails to a healthy state, and it was very informative and gave me some next steps to try. I'm optimistic that I will be able to get my nails where I want them to be with a little more patience and a few tweaks to my routine.

Thank you so much Diana :)) I hope to see your nails in 1 month improved quite a bit :))

I stopped biting my nails ... now what?! - Anna's advice for growing bitten nails

I found Anna's YouTube channel at the beginning of the summer when she was taking a break from doing assessments. I therefore had to wait 2 months to send her my photos. However that gave me 2 months to watch and consume all her videos and in that time I followed the routine she suggests for natural nail care: 'weekly jojoba oil soaks and manicures and oil, her salve, hand cream after every hand wash'.

The improvement was amazing in just 2 months, however I still didn't know what to do with my nails as I have been biting them all my life (I'm 51) and only stopped a year ago when I managed to break the habit by going to a salon to have BIAB (Builder In A Bottle - acrylic polish) which I had put on every 2 weeks.

I kept picking off the BIAB however and this left my nails thin and damaged underneath and it was then that I decided to go natural. Like many biters I was a professional nail biter, a total expert at destroying my nails and skin but when I grew my nails, they would fan out, grow upwards and have so much white nail (short nail bed, the pink bit) they looked so weird.

I finally purchased the video assessment and sent through detailed photos to Anna to look at to see if she had any advice on how to shape these grown bitten nail and how I could give them the best chance of reattaching to the nail bed.

It was easy to take the photos on my phone and I have documented my nail growth journey from the start so was able to send her extra photos.

She was quick to reply and it was really reassuring to have her go over everything I was doing and really take her time to look at my nails. Her advice was to file them back so that they were super short (1mm) again (after all the growing this was hard to do) and to continue with the weekly manicures and oil, salve, hand cream after washing.

So that's where I am, I filed them all back down today and I will send her an update in a months time.

If you are unsure of how to shape your growing nails or wonder why your bitten nails look like they do, then this is such a good service from Anna, she will be able to assess what you are doing and give you personal advice.

As nail biters we know how to feel, pick, bite, rip, shred what little nails we have and the skin that surrounds them. An assessment from Anna can help you shape, nurture, grow and love your nails and caring for them. Highly recommend this for everyone but especially if you're on a growing journey.
