Are you doing great cuticle work? Are you sure? If you have any issues with lifting in the corners or along the sides with enhancements or polish, it can a lot of the time be traced back to cuticle work. Be meticulous and diligent every time!

V2 is a promised follow up video on cuticle work that has better lighting and staying in camera!

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

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

@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.

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. :)
