      @@TheNailHub 6:45 Your diagram is inaccurate. Doug Schoon's diagram means that what you're pointing to as the "Eponychium" is actually the *"Proximal Nail Fold"* and what you are labeling as the eponychium is the *cuticle* . See" _What's New in Nail Anatomy? The Latest Facts!_ by Doug Schoon, April 15, 2019. The eponychium is not visible to then naked eye. See "Cross section of a human fingertip (revision 3). in the article above. It is *never* advised by any respectable dermatologist to push back the proximal nail fold. It is there to protect the contact between the nail and the skin opening from bacteria and infection. Pushing back what 99% of the population believes to be the 'cuticle' causes unnecessary trauma and inflammation to the proximal nail fold. Time for an updated video.

And worst part..with the so called "russian " style of manicure ( yes they do it a lot in those salons over there, in Russia, courtesy of the clients of whom i have needed to serve ) it is even more growing trend :(

    The wet manicure is why my salon manicures never lasted more than three days. Soaking the nails causes them to expand. If you put product on an expanded nail, it will buckle when the nail dries.
    I’ve done my own manicures since last spring, and I always wait for my nails to dry out before applying polish if I use cuticle remover. Instead of lasting only three days, the polish remains for over a week!
    Btw, I followed your gel base coat video and the polish still looks great after 10 days!

    I love how you took the time to repeat yourself a few times when it comes to the location and names of everything. Not everyone gets it the first or second time. We’re not stupid we just have a different filing system in our brain. For instance I have ADD. Ppl with ADD have a terrible time remembering things. A typical person learns something and when they do it enters their frontal lobe (short term memory) then gets filed towards the back of our brain where they store it for a long time. Well ppl with ADD and ADHD many times our information stays in our frontal lobe without ever being filed in the back. By repeating things it really helps to get it to the back 💝💕

      Also, while I wouldn't use the word 'stupid' to describe someone like you i would say you have a learning disability. Certainly doesn't make you smart. If my teacher did what you described it would be a massive waste of my time. It would cripple my growth and my learning. That's why people like you need special schools since you need special treatment.

      @Amy - I hear you and I understand you. My son has been diagnosed with ADHD and it does require learning things differently, but saying people with these issues need their own "special school" is just horrible to hear from other commenters. Everyone learns differently. There are many learning "disabilities" (I really dislike that word, sorry). I personally find that writing things down helps me retain knowledge better. It's not wrong. It's just different. Sending love.

    I’m so glad you acknowledge DIY folks (like me). Between Amazon, eBay, and Sally’s, people can always get the products, so it’s great that you’re making good information available to people who will try and do their own nails regardless. I think you’ve said somewhere that you can make your own cleansing solution by mixing alcohol and acetone. Is it good enough to use 100% acetone and 90% isopropyl alcohol from the drug store? That is what’s most convenient for me.

    • @TheNailHub

    Between you and Susie from Nail Career Education which is how I found you, I can walk into salons and with confidence know if the tech is doing me dirty and being shady by cutting corners or doing something inappropriate or not and it helped me comb through my local salons and find the best tech.
    I remember when I first started getting acrylic nail enhancements and the first few techs I went to used e-files for everything and the wrong bits to harsh for the nail plate, always nicked the hell out of the Eponychium as well, and always wanted to remove everything each time and reapply instead of filing as needed and filling, and would always rip it off instead of soaking the product off and I’m certain they probably didn’t sanitize their equipment looking back on everything.
    So just thank you thank you thank you for the informative videos you have done to help us common folks out.

    This video has helped me so much! Not only was I incredibly confused on how to explain my nail bed, but I also couldn't for the life of me understand why my nails didn't look as nice after cuticle prep as other did. And it's bec I have alot of dead skin that is attached to the eponychium even more than what you showed in this video. Plus when I push back my cuticule it all gets stuck in that fold and is struggle to get it out and I haven't seen anybody else have this problem. On top of the fact that I'm too scared to used nippers or those bowed scissors to cut off the dead skin that's on my eponychium.. so at this point I think an E-file would be my best investment to fix my problem but until I can afford one I'm kinda screwed until then 🙃😫
    But again thank you for the information bec it helped me alot in identifying/putting a name to my problem areas. Also sorry for this crazy long comment 😂❤❤

    Hi Liz, I love your fundamental videos. I use to be a manicurist 20 years ago. I am studying to take my theory exam to reactivate my license, and since so much has changed over the years your videos are a god sent!!
    Question for you... if a clients eponychium really extends over the nail plate how far back do you push the cuticle for trimming?
    Thank you for sharing your knowledge🥰

    • @TheNailHub
      @TheNailHub  3 года назад +1

      I usually push back and trim all the transparent or white/dry skin. Also check your local rules because some areas technically do not allow skin trimming for the state exam, etc. Differs a lot from place to place.

    Thank you for this video!! I’m getting started to do acrylic nails at home and I was so confused on which was the eponychium and cuticle. I went to a different nail salon than my usual, & they were cutting my eponychium & I was thinking “oh okay then that’s the cuticle” then my go-to salon never cut my eponychium. Once I did it to myself my nails looked weird and felt weird. I think one time my nails felt sore and sensitive. I’m glad I came to this video & helped me understand🤓

    • @TheNailHub

      My mom does that. But what I got her to start doing is massaging salve like Bag Balm (amzn.to/2N3DpA5) or Aquaphor (amzn.to/2Ld4IGt) into her cuticles every time she has the urge and it has completely changed her skin and kicked her habit. Cuticle oil can be too runny so these types of emolients work really well. The seal around our nail plate is very important and also very delicate. Plus our mouths have A LOT of bacteria so best to keep mouth away from finger. ;) xoxo

      I have nippers, have yet to use them around the cuticle area. I am scared of doing it to myself, I couldn't even imagine doing it to someone else!
      When I went to cosmetology school they always stressed to NOT use nippers or anything similar. They didn't do much on nails, besides a basic manicure, the nail tech was a totally different class.
      But they drilled it in our head to not nip or cut, so it's hard for me to get past that.

    I came here purely because I needed to hear someone else finally use the term eponychium and not cuticle. So tired of listening to “experts” talking nonsense about pushing cuticles back when they have already removed cuticles and are currently harassing eponychiums

    That was the first anatomy class I actually enjoyed 💖💖 Thank you for everything 😍 And I have a question. I don’t really like nippers. I have very sensitive skin and I can bleed for hours. I cannot even use a file that close to my skin. So if e filing is done properly, is it better or worse for that area???

    • @TheNailHub
      @TheNailHub  6 лет назад +11

      I also have very thin skin and most times I've had my nails done by nail techs in the past they have cut me and I bleed like crazy too. Yes, I prefer efiling for my skin type. I will be covering that after we get through the manual way. :)

    Thanks for the anatomy lesson! I definitely was using poor form as a teenager when pushing my cuticles so my thumbs are very wavy. Also looks like I have zero eponychium, not sure if it’s because nothing ever grows over my nails or if I have a nervous habit of pushing them everyday.

    I love that you don't take everything off it makes so much sense . I've always been confused about what exactly what the cuticle was. Recently the manicurist used a very fine bit to gently grind the hangnail and stuffy stuff I liked it so much better. What do you think about this method?
