  • Thanks for the video. very useful. just a couple of questions. Could you recommend any cuticle oil and cuticle softener? I am cuticle products virgin and love to try some good ones. thank you.

  • @mintskfk thanks for your comment, I am glad I could help...

    and here are the answers: I am sure you can find cuticle oil in your local drug store, there is one by Sally Hansen, in this video I used Oriflame, now I am using pumpkin oil, it´s rich in vitamins, just great for nails

    about the softener - if you soften your nails enough in the water you can skip this step, I don´t know about any others than the one I am using in the vid and it´s from Oriflame

  • Where do you find the hand treatment mask?

  • this one is by Oriflame, Avon has similar one and I am sure that you can find a similar mask in local pharmacy

  • How come you don't show how to remove dead cuticle skin? They do that at the salon. Oh and they also buff the nails as well. A lot of people have great tutorials but they always miss those two steps and that's the main reason why I go to the salon, because I don't know how to remove the dead skin myself.

  • I do not remove dead cuticle at home - i always go to a salon once in a while, it is quite risky to do it by yourself because of infection an so on ... for the cuticle I use cuticle oil or mask to soften it and nourish it every evening and it looks really nice

    about buffing - I don´t like to do anything on the surface of my nails, they are so brittle afterwards

  • as a cosmetologist, i do not use a cuticle clipper no matter what, to remove the cuticle, it creates more tissue to keep cutting, and keep you coming back!! most clients appreciate this because they do not know the damage to the tissue it causes. it is an unnecessary step but once you clip it will take a while for it to regain its health keep moisturizing it it will go away just by pushing.

  • very helpful indeed

see all

  • Vy nice video, finally one with no annoying chatterboxes! getting to the point, great! and very nicely presented as well!

  • Great video 👍

  • the music sounds like someone wanting sexy time

  • im clumsy.. i cant do neatly as yours.

  • i just skipped the removing the cuticle part. cuticles are there so they can help your nails grow. cutting them leads to infections most of the time.

  • @Neeellaa I liked the video. it was professional type and very useful. I need to ask something. Can u please tell me the difference between the nail colour remover and the alcohol? What is an alcohol actually?Is it diff from the remover?and cuticle remover cream and cuticle remover(in liquid form)are the same??

  • Wonderful video! Check out our channel for DIY tips and all things nails!

  • Cuticles should not be EVER removed. They should be only pushed back.

  • I miss Lefti : [
