In a research it showed that women with this long nails have poop bacteria in those nails. It grossed me out instantly because I knew of this research.
Thank you so much for actually showing the removal of visible cuticles/dead skin! I've watched so many videos where people who already have perfect cuticles demonstrate how to use cuticle removers and then they always say DON'T CUT YOUR SKIN, and that doesn't help me at all, because I have a lot of "flappy" skin after pushing back my cuticles, just like yours, and I never knew how to safely remove that because every other video just says don't cut it, but it looks so bad if I don't.
doctors caution against cutting cuticles because you could accidentally cut living skin creating a bleeding wound. That wound is what would then potentially let in harmful bacteria, which is why we wear bandages and/or our body creates a scab as a shield to keep them out.
@@abetweene The cuticle is not living skin, though. The cuticle is the paper-thin dead skin that grows slowly over the nail, the stuff that can be scraped off. The proximal nail fold is the living skin that can bleed, which can become thick over time and also start to stretch over the nail. This is a super common misconception.
yes. my statement encompasses the ability when holding sharp instruments to slip & unintentionally cut ANY surrounding skin including the proximal and lateral folds. when cutting the cuticle (though dead) youre still in close proximity to living tissue. physicans recommend pushing back because theyd rather you not take the risk.
I’m obsessed with getting my cuticles done. It’s my favorite part of a manicure! …but not all nail techs do a good job 🤦🏻♀️. So I’m here to learn how to do it myself! I can’t wait to try your style!
I love every bit of your content! You're are so eloquent and able to explain things so well. Happy to see your channel growing and more people seeing what a legit content creator looks like. Greetings from Italy❤️
I’ve been giving myself manicures for years and I love getting rid of the dead skin off the cuticle. I like a clean look. I can bet that I’ve been to the salon less than ten times in my life. Whenever I have gone, I can always see something they missed and I think to myself “ I can do better”. Lol I even have all my own SNS supplies! Well done - I enjoy all your videos! Gonna give that sugaring a try.
Same! I‘ve always felt like I could have done a better job on my nails! That’s why I’ve also gone less than 10 times. It is just not worth it. At this point, I’d only be willing to spend my money on someone who would do difficult nail art, and that would probably just be a one time thing too haha
For a right handed person who is not ambidextrous, is it difficult to get rid of the dead skin on the right hand since you have to use your left hand to utilize the tools?
Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for being willing to show the not so pretty side of making our nails pretty, and your nails are beautiful! My cuticles are out of control! Will do it just like this; just can't thank you enough! And all the specific information about are nails, so educational!
I feel like the skin around my nails is so thin that is it basically impossible for me to cut without getting an infection, which happened once. But I am happy it works for others🥰
Thank you, Queen! I was scared bc I really thought it would need more technique, but you actually make it look so easy! I’m giving myself a mani now! ♥️😭🔥🙌
I just found you as I was searching through sugaring videos and oh my god i'm in love haha the soothing voice, the beautiful visual aesthetic in every shot, the quality tips and tricks, fun new info... what's not to love! You've made a subscriber out of me, girl!
This is the best cuticle cleaning/removing cuticle video I’ve seen and I’ve been into nail art and fella for over a decade. You are so detailed and I love how you explain the anatomy and how not al the material removed is skin, but it’s product too if you use cuticle remover.
I am one year late although thank you so much. After I seen how they are charging upwards of 20 to $25 for a manicure I decided to take 30 minutes out of my day and just do it myself and stumbling upon your video people are asking me who are does my nails cuz they always look so clean and well polished.
Thank you for this video, i found this very relaxing and informative. ive just recently got into doing nails and bought my first gel kit but hadn't a clue about cuticles so this has helped a lot
You do not know how much this has helped me. I love you. Thank you so much, from the depths of my soul. 😭♥️🤗 Edit: OKAY IVE DONE 3 NAILS AND THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL ASKSKAKDKAIEKDHSHAHAHAH IM SO HAPPY!!!! WHY WAS I AFRAID OF DOING THIS FOR SO LONG????? I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR YOU AND FOR THIS VIDEO. I PROBABLY SOUND LIKE A CRAZY PERSON, BUT IM JUST SO HAPPY 😭😭
From where I am, the people who do your nails (I wouldn't call them nail techs as they are not properly trained), just scrape the whole nail to remove "dirt" . This video is so helpful because I don't trust those people to touch my nails.
My favorite video of yours. I wish you would talk in details on the instruments you use and products and where you buy them. Some of your links are not current.
Since I am right handed, I always struggle to do my right hand (using my left). Would love your tips to make this a tad easier please? Also, where would you take cuticle cutters to be sharpened?
Just found you on RUclips and binged. So relaxing! I recently got into dipping my nails at home and your videos gave my so many helpful tips for taking care of nails prior to dipping. A queen!
I was cringing and shaking the entire time but with a smile lmao I love this process + result, it’s just so off putting to look at😭 gives me the shivers even though I know it’s painless (when done correctly)
The problem I have after cutting my cuticles is the above the cuticle starts to peel, and being the “picker” I am, I pick at it then it starts to bleed because if the picking lol. I was wondering if you know how to prevent this?
practice cutting a continuous smooth line as much as possible. choppy clipping leaves jagged edges that lift once the skin is dehydrated. so also moisturize often. especially with all the hand washing we’re doing rn
this is so satisfying to watch. I just wanna ask do you cut the edges of your nails? and do you have a pedicure video on how to cut the edges of big toe nail?
i have this exact issue where my skin pulls down onto my nail plate, but at the same time am really scared of cutting myself. maybe in the future! will keep this video for reference ^_^
Um...yes!!! Here for it! I always have so much dry skin and built up cuticle that watching your video made me realize I have to step my manicure game up! Always love your videos. P.S. I did my first Polygel toe yesterday. And yes Toe. Because it took me dang near 30 mins to complete. Lol.
@@abetweene Yaassss!!! I think it also was the Polygel too. Buuuuttttt I did purchase the Efile you recommended that was similar to yours too. Definitely need some bits. But yes....I will eventually get to a Fullset of Quarantine Toes
I don’t even push back my cuticules or anything. I find that putting Vaseline on my cuticles softens them and keeps them under control-meaning, there’s no need to maintain the cuticles. learned the little tip from my mom. Thanks for a lovely video! ❤️
Agreed. Your cuticle serves a purpose. It protects your nail bed from getting infections. I moisturize as well and I rarely have hangnails or anything.
Remember to be careful, gentle and patient! I used to rush and ended up getting a nasty infection, which led to having to get that part of my finger removed.
You shouldn't cut your cuticles because it protects both your nails and the skin surrounding them from infection. After cutting the cuticle, it's easier for bacteria and germs to get inside. It's more advisable to push them back rather than cutting them.
I’ve always wanted to do this at home but been too intimidated. This is a great video! It would have been incredible to see how you hold tools when you do the opposite hand :)
i love love love your channel! i’ve been subscribed to you for a few years and i really appreciate how informative and detailed you are on everything. you make amazing self care and wellness videos that are perfect for these times where we need to most
I don't think I have much cuticle. I've always try to find mine to cut off, since that's what all manicurist on have advised to do, but I always had trouble finding it. I would very quickly cut into skin that had feeling in it. Based on your description of translucency, I don't think I have much cuticle.
I have the same nail type. on the lateral side of my nail bed, they do get dry and I bite it sometimes lol. Keeping the nail edges moist helps so much to keep it intact. I don't have to push back or cut my cuticles really but I do notice it on my husband's big toenail.
If you don't have, don't touch. Same here and I don't do anything to them :) Also they say, the more you cut them the more they will grow so you'll have to always care for them. Cuticles are there to protect the skin from infections so unless you need to touch them and you're very expert, better not mess with them.
I never visit nail saloons because they are expensive AF and where I live at least, they do really bad job. And I love the look of manicured hands; I feel incomplete without my manicure XD
Amazing! This just answered my question as to why my gel nails keep lifting from the bottom... tissue!. I've got some kit coming today, I don't have any cuticle remover/oil. Can I use soapy water followed by olive oil/cream?
I’m a year late but thank you soo much for this video and the links! Sis is tired of going to the nail salon and cuticles looking the same when I leave. I’m excited to learn how to start doing my own nails 🤍💃🏽
a french manicure can be done on any shape. are you asking how to cut them square? In that case, Id use nail clippers to trim across, then use a 240 grit file to straighten the edge and side walls to a 90° angle
Love watching your videos! Your nails are so beautiful and healthy looking. Appreciate very much the time you spend educating us on how to take care of our nails. You are a blessing! 💕
Hey! thanks for the super informative video. I find that after I do a manicure everything looks great but a few days later my cuticles are looking dry and splinter-y like. Im not sure if that makes sense but the surface doesn't look smooth anymore. Any idea why that happens? Could you do a video on that please? Also I get a lot of hangnails on the skin around the nail (the actual skin, not the cuticle). Cheers, I love all your videos!
I've never cut mine (myself) before bcs their really short so im scared to cut my skin and when I went to the salon, they ended up cutting my skin and told me my cuticles were very short- so i just dont do anything. Tbh, they look like her nails from after she cut the cuticles
I do because when I don’t and they overgrow I get a lot of hangnails that really hurt and bleed. For the longest time (since childhood) I always wondered why I would get so many and for me, cuticles were the answer
Hello, thank you so much for all your tips!! You have beautiful nails and such a lovely voice 😍 Question: starting out on the nail growth journey is it more important to get shape or length? I lost length trying to get the right shape and now they are starting to grow nicely, but I got a split…😣 Thank you 🥰💖💖
thats all personal preference. If you’d prefer shape, be mindful of the way and what tools you use to file your nails. High grit files can shred the layers of the nail causing more peeling and splits. If youre doing your best but still have issues, you could try wearing an overlay of acrylic, gel, or polygel for added strength and security.
my habit is picking the skin around my fingernails and i believe half of the reason js because of poor nail care so i want the area to be perfectly flat. I watch these videos so i can learn to take care of my hands properly.. it looks very satisfying and refreshing
This is so helpful! I've tried so many salons and they always cut my cuticles too far and make them bleed. I'll try this at home. Kinda gross to watch the skin peel up/to see it (not just on you specifically, just in general)....but I can't stop watching! Hahahaha. Great video, will watch more/subscribe to your channel!

She does not soften them😪

yeah, definitely not for everyone
You wont get infections as long as you will just remove the excess, only cuticles not the eponychium😅
Yeah, i thought you aren't supposed to cut your cuticles for that reason. Mine have never been cut.
Because she isn’t cutting cuticle she is cutting eponychium which is living tissue.
im not cutting living tissue.
Is it just me or u don’t care about cutting cuticles u just want nails?
its just u

States at the beginning of the video
Love doing my own tbh, so satisfying for some reason 🤣
Nice to see someone doing their own nail treatment.

You are opening your nails up to infection , especially since you are cutting the skin around nit just the cuticle..
You have such nice long and healthy nails!!!

Right there with you and then when they start healing, I'm walking around scratching my itchy cuticles... it drives me crazy

Remember to be careful, gentle and patient! I used to rush and ended up getting a nasty infection, which led to having to get that part of my finger removed.
You shouldn't cut your cuticles because it protects both your nails and the skin surrounding them from infection. After cutting the cuticle, it's easier for bacteria and germs to get inside. It's more advisable to push them back rather than cutting them.

How would you cut them into french manicure nails with basic tools?
a french manicure can be done on any shape. are you asking how to cut them square? In that case, Id use nail clippers to trim across, then use a 240 grit file to straighten the edge and side walls to a 90° angle
abetweene I have curved clippers so that will work?
yes, just trim them longer than you actually want them. then as you file and refine the shape they’ll become shorter.
You make the cutting look so easy 😥 I’m terrified to do it on other people
practice is key, ive been doing it so long i cant remember
Yikes! Check out The Salon Life to see how to do this properly.

nippers could be jagged or technique may just be “choppy”
try cutting a smooth continuous strip and keeping your nails oiled as often as possible.
I can't really see a difference between having cuticles and having no cuticles, to me they are still finger, so I don't know why people cut it

I also have small hands and small nail beds so it makes it easier to paint by creating more room on the nail
Hello, thank you so much for all your tips!!
You have beautiful nails and such a lovely voice 😍
Question: starting out on the nail growth journey is it more important to get shape or length?
I lost length trying to get the right shape and now they are starting to grow nicely, but I got a split…😣
Thank you 🥰💖💖
thats all personal preference. If you’d prefer shape, be mindful of the way and what tools you use to file your nails. High grit files can shred the layers of the nail causing more peeling and splits. If youre doing your best but still have issues, you could try wearing an overlay of acrylic, gel, or polygel for added strength and security.
Thanks ☺️
you’re welcome
So this is what people mean when they say they ‘cut back’ their cuticles. I didn’t think this is what they meant
lol
Hey can you do a video for the people that struggle to polish their toenails neatly
sure!
Yes I would love that! I'll do my own nails but my toes I will go to a salon quickly!
my habit is picking the skin around my fingernails and i believe half of the reason js because of poor nail care so i want the area to be perfectly flat. I watch these videos so i can learn to take care of my hands properly.. it looks very satisfying and refreshing
I really enjoy your videos during this quarantine ❤️
Absolutely incredible tutorial. Thank you so much for showing the *actual* before and after. So so so so good.
ty!
This is so helpful! I've tried so many salons and they always cut my cuticles too far and make them bleed. I'll try this at home. Kinda gross to watch the skin peel up/to see it (not just on you specifically, just in general)....but I can't stop watching! Hahahaha. Great video, will watch more/subscribe to your channel!
happy to help
Totally want some of that mineral peel. Anyone here got any UK dupes or recommendations for something similar ☺️?
Helen Goodyear the cnd cuticle remover works really well!
This video actually helped me studying nail anatomy somehow.
I can’t afford the nail salon anymore so this video is a huge help. Appreciate you🥰
I always look forward to your videos as its really calming/soothing. 🤗 Stay safe and thanks for uploading!
