Stop using cuticle nippers like this! | how to remove your cuticles at home

Yes ma’am, I always knew instinctively that you are not suppose to cut them or cut as much.. thanks for the confirmation. Also, all the drilling is overrated as well.

I use the nippers for hang nails. I hate when people pull them making it worse.

Lol not everyone’s nails are infected with red puffy fingers.

I need this something about cutting dead skin is scary asf I know myself I'm make it bleed

I do it on my toes though … cause Chile that skin needs to go

Yes 💯 true

You can cut off the proximal fold of the eponychium, if it’s dead skin. The reason it makes her nails all puffy and red and makes you bleed is because you’re cutting too far down and you’re hurting live tissue. If you only cut off the part/the white part you will not be hurting the client/yourself.

You are so accurate on not cutting the cuticle.

Does this work for toes?

I wish the nail technicians that do this work actually do it properly. They be cutting everywhere 😢😢. No wonder the area around my cuticle is inflamed and sensitive

Noop. I use my nippers to remove my cuticles. Nothing more 😂

100% but some people do have excess skin on the fold but yes no need to do Russian manicures, many of the Russian women have puffy reddish eponychium area

Lol says the chick using cuticle remover. Gtfo with this bs.

Instead of giving bad advice, you should be advising people not to do things incorrectly.

However, you think cuticle remover is a good idea. Would common sense get through to you?

Is it Janice from Friends?!))) OOOOH MYYYY GOOOOD!!!

varies on state for licensing to do this. you just have to do it RIGHT

As a professional nail stylist, It hurts to hear such nonsense 🤦

I agree with you, I've been in the nail industry for more than 40 years, and I agree with you❤❤

This product is 100% worth it. Even though i do nail care every 1 to 2 weeks, this Sally Hansen product lasts me more than 1 year. You only need the thinnest layer to moisten and soften your cuticle that's why it goes a long way.

Then why does it look like a cuticle? Umm and why is it when you go to nails school? I’m not a nail tech but I’ve seen videos that talk to use those to clip the cuticle and you’re telling us that it’s a it’s a it’s supposed to be there why does it why the nail techs cut it home can someone explain?

Thank you so much my nail technician always did it so I followed suit. We amateurs need to know facts like this and apparently so do some so called professionals as well,!❤❤

They're getting infections because theyre cutting to far down then use things such as roll on cuticle oil and cuticle oil with brushes and dipping it back into their bottles allowing bacteria to grow

Tell me why all the nail tech places I've been to, cut my cuticles??

I use cuticle nippers and my nails and fingers are fine 🤷‍♀️

Or you can just say " I don’t know how to cut dead skin around the cuticle"

So when I just got a manicure and they used those clippers on each finger, that’s actually doing harm to my nails?

Also it grows back worse when you cut. I’m always for pushing back. Thanks for this vid

Don’t know if she certified or licensed I just came upon this video. I’m certified and can tell with great certainty that the only way you’re getting puffy infected eponychium is if you’re over cutting or the tool you use is not sanitized. Depending on the state it is illegal to cut this area because it’s so easy to cut too deep. I only advocate for cutting the area if it’s extremely over grown typically the toes are like this definitely don’t do this if you have thin skin or are prone to bleeding or bruising. And definitely go to a reputable salon or technician. It’s mostly up to your discretion just don’t do it yourself.

My skin is very thin, my manicure was with 🩸I am currently using this remover . Less traumatic for me and very easy. What kind of oil did you use after?😇❤

I'll say this. In my 31 yrs of living I've never had nippers to my cuticles. I've been to many nail salons and no one has ever nipped my cuticles, so trust me, if anyone busts these out, it better be for my nail or removing my crystals

I needed to hear this.

Finally someone says something!! I always get grossed out when my feed randomly shows people cutting their “cuticles” anyways 😅

The cuticles are literally there to keep bacteria out. So any form of removal is increasing your risk of infection. 🙃

I mostly use a cuticle bit but i have cuticle remover too

Man mine are a mess either way!! 😂

It can also make that skin grow back tougher & thicker. In cosmetology school I was taught only to use cuticle remover & push. (Unless the client specifically asks me to cut it off.) I just do not trust every nail salon to sterilize their equipment properly.

I like my cuticle remover. I don’t like to trim my cuticles

Yeah if you don’t know how to do it. Russian manicures is the only way that looks good imo.

THANK YOU!

Pls stop spreading misinformation…

Mine itches if it grows too long bc of sensory issues so i cut them but my nails dont get infected

I’ve been cutting the excess skin around my nails for 25 years and I have never had red or puffy skin. It all depends on what technique you’re using and how much you’re cutting. It doesn’t look good to keep the skin around the cuticle area when you’re doing nail extensions.

Ummm what?

thank you!!!!!!!!! someone had to say and you did!!

It’s red because some people thin their skin from cutting too much

It needs to be clipped. there is a right and wrong way.

I only do it sometimes, due to the fact that we do have dead skin once I'm a while 😊

When you use it correctly you will do it allot cleaner. Especially if you have more skin then on the video. For a bit of refreshment yes sure use the cuticle remover but if you are doing a whole manicure this will not be enough ❤.

I’m sorry, nail tech here and podiatrist. You’re wrong. And it’s things like this that makes misinformation be spread. You don’t have much dead skin/growth on YOUR nails, but it doesn’t mean the next person will have the same outcome as you. Simply go to someone trained/licensed (and not the Asian spot) to work on nails and they can PROPERLY do this for you. Removing cuticle isn’t going to help you with excess proximal fold growth, which is just as bad as cutting too much off. You’re welcome.

YES!

Well the proximal nail fold as you call it on my middle fingers grow and cover half of my nail bed. All cuticle remover does is lifts it off the nail. so I clip it
