Love it when someone uses the terms proximal nail fold and eponychium rather than calling everything cuticle

[Raaaah__]

this is so helpful, i’ve been cutting the fold for a while without realizing that it wasn’t part of the cuticle 😭 thank you for posting this!!

Tysm! I didn’t wanna damage my real nails, and now I know what to cut and what not to cut! Xx💕

Appreciate for telling saying the difference between the proximal nail fold and cuticle.
I used to just cut it all off

[mareezy]

Finally someone that knows what a cuticle is 😃

[johnosam]

Exactly! Some who does nails cut these nail folds some times causes me to bleed which im traumatize to go back to nail specialist in our area

[mysteryyyy]

just saw a review from a dermatologist reacting to a manicure procedure, specifically the cuticle being cut, and she insisted it was super dangerous, it's easier for bacteria to go in and etc. It was making me very anxious because I want to learn manicure but I don't wanna promote something that can be really dangerous. However, this video explained it better and it gave me my hope back to pursue learning manicure:) thank you!

In my entire life, I did not know that until now 🤯 tysm

[Nobody-emuu]

I remember a couple years back I used to watch a lot of nail videos am I thought I had to cut my cuticles even if it wasn’t dead skin, and one time I cut it so bad it bleed and it was so painful😅. Now I don’t even touch them tbh, I just put on some cuticle oil and I’m done 😌

Thank you for the video!!!! Very informative!!!!

[jjjjjj]

Honestly I never knew this. I need to start right now

[genahebert]

Good info! ❤ others should speak up!.. and they do this for the perfect pictures that others are trying to live up to. Dangerous
Everyone is talking about how dangerous airbrushing is nowadays but nobody talks about this as loud.

[audrey..-]

I peel off the nail fold or whatever it’s called bc its satisfying

Thank you so many cutting the proximal nail fold because it makes your nails look crisp. You can still have a great manicure of nail set without doing this. .I see so many people with injured proximal folds that have bled😖😖😖

[abagideau]

Thank you. I was definitely cutting the live skin. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[myohmymads]

I was 31 years old when I decided to go to the top-rated nail tech in my city for a proper manicure and she made my fingers and toes bleed by cutting these.

I told her at the beginning that I didn't want this cut but she did it anyway and insisted that it's my skin's issue for being so thin. Never again, thank you.

[podobunny]

THANK YOUUU someone had to say it. the proximal fold should not be cut

[snehalsanil]

Please do a tutorial on how to cut it without cutting the proximal nail fold. Whenever I do it it looks so bad :(

[sarita]

Hi! Thank you so much for the video! 🥰
I just have a question, what if the skin (I believe it’s the proximal nail fold) is too thick and doesn’t remove completely with cuticle remover? Should I trim it?

[kskskwkwdjjaksowwowowooego]

So everyone says you need to cut the proximal nail fold for gel x nails to last long and I'm not sure about what to do now. Can you get them to last long only by pushing the skin back? Or do you need to cut it but it's not good for you
