Cuticle Work V2

[msunique76]

Great videos....really helping me to grow as a nail tec. Would like to ask do you agree with cutting of the cuticle?

[FingerNailFixer]

@msunique76 usually the cuticle does not need trimmed but occasionally it could, you should definitely not ever trim the eponychium

[msunique76]

@FingerNailFixer Thanks for that

[dcsvar]

How do you know that you are only getting the cuticle, and not actual layers of your nail? Does the cuticle away only work on cuticle skin? This was a great tutorial.

Thanks

[FingerNailFixer]

@dcsvar the Cuticle Away works as a mild callous smoother as well that is why you want to spread it with your tool and not your thumb client after client

You should not need to use much pressure to lift up the cuticle, if you are digging at the nail and see scratches afterword that is too much

This video is great,im a new nail tech and im having a difficult time when some clients have very rough around the nail (not on the nail itself)...so it looks so sloppy after the manicure .any suggestions?

[FingerNailFixer]

@79JesusFreak the curette usually cleans up a lot of that especially if you work it around in little circles against the skin. If you have a small bit that is truly cuticle, it can be nipped if your state/country laws allow it.

where do u get the little scoop thing from??

thanks clare x

[FingerNailFixer]

@1894clare you can find them most professional distributors, ask for a curette :)

Hi, I am thrilled to have found this video. I am a brand new nail tech and I've found myself struggling with removing all of the dead cuticle off the nail plate correctly because I wasn't taught your methods in School. Until now I had heard of curettes but never seen them used! I'm confident I'll see less chipping and lifting in my services from now on. Thank you so much. :)

[swoopingbuzzards]

hi, I'm not a nail technician but I love doing my own nails and am considering doing a course next year and your videos have helped me so, so much. I bit my nails up until last christmas and now have long nails. that started my obsession with nail polish and nail care. up until watching your videos I had always thought the cuticle was what is actually eponychium. It horrifies me that I once used to use those v shaped cutters and cut off my eponychium. So yeah, thanks so much for this video ...

[FingerNailFixer]

@swoopingbuzzards sounds like you will already be a step ahead in class!!

[kitteesPJs]

I second jbenna's request of a tutorial for what you're sporting on your nails. Mesmerizing.

[FingerNailFixer]

@kitteesPJs it is on my to do list!

[Xuxkina]

Thanks for the replies x x x 

[Xuxkina]

So you do this procedure before doing an infill as it takes time right? And if you do this procedure before an infill do you buff the nail plate before applying acrylics or gels? Thanks 4d vids they r really informative x x x

[FingerNailFixer]

@Xuxkina I would do my debulking (filing down) of the product and make sure there are no lifts or cracks, then do the cuticle work just along the regrowth with the curette, followed by the remove shine of the regrowth area.

hi there i just learnt why my cuticles are becomming hard and dry ive been using my solar oil 3 to 4 times a day but have been trimming the Epinicium...is there anything i can do now to get the Epinicium back in good condition

[FingerNailFixer]

@cuddlebumm1 CND Cuticle Eraser would be a great help in getting the eponychium back to normal, use it at bedtime with your Solar Oil and it will microexfoliate the skin as well as create a moisture pack from the combination of the two!

[cuddlebumm1]

@FingerNailFixer thanks so much for the tip they dont teach these kind of valuable must knows in the training course i did for my nail tech cert

[bluejoel14]

A video for problem nails would be fantastic as you are so informative ( peeling, flaking,hangnails) etc

[FingerNailFixer]

@bluejoel14 thanks for the idea, will add it to my list

[bluejoel14]

Do you repeat the same procedure each time your client revisits or just in regrowth area and how wud you treat a client with hangnails

[FingerNailFixer]

@bluejoel14 just in the regrowth, hangnails vary sometimes I will nip them, if possible I will file them off

[alexandranelsen]

Thank you for all your videos. I watch all your clip videos and I learn something new each single time. You are the best teacher

[madeth33]

can u use the cuticle away before shellac?

[FingerNailFixer]

@madeth33 yes, just be sure you scrub it off completely with the water!

[jjbenna]

What are you wearing on your nails? Tutorial pls!

[FingerNailFixer]

@jjbenna it is Shellac and I will do a vid on them as soon as I can :o)
