Get Rid Of That Cuticle!

[soleyaastra]

Finally someone not literally ATTACKING the cuticle and leaving the skin vulnerable and exposed!

What’s being pushed back is the proximal nail fold. The cuticle is the dead skin cells under it that are stuck to the nail bed. Soften it with Blue Cross cuticle remover before trying to remove it.

Just to gently educate anyone curious... What one is actually gently pushing back is called the "proximal nail fold" or you can just call it the nail fold. And you should never cut the proximal nail fold. This causes that healthy tissue trauma, and it turn make it grow back thicker and harder. A mistake I see many nail techs make. What you want to do is remove the dead tissue that grows onto the nail plate: THIS is what is called the cuticle. Always good to teach everyone correct terminology, I think. :)

I love this demonstration because it’s so close up and that nail “looked good” before you started…. So it shows a lot of people that cuticle care is SOOO important for getting extensions to stay! Love your work!

Yess 😁 i love to see when technicians leave the live skin alone and only work on the white dead skin stuck on the nail 💪🏼💗

[muaythaigal]

You hear that technicians, GENT-LYYYY lol Jesus, I've had some just cram my cuticle back into where it was born from, holy...it hurt.

Cuticles drive me completely crazy! I never realized that the cuticle was sticky, Honestly I have always thought that the cuticle grew attached yo rhe nail in that form.

I always use a cuticle remover I find it so much easier and it does such a better job! The skin comes off so easily and it removes any little leftover bits on your nail or on skin

[Sirenkymm]

How do you feel about cuticle drill bits. I love how they gently take off the dead skin, of the lift up the cuticle a bit. It's so satisfying to watch also

I have a glass cuticle cleaner/pusher and while I prefer the metal because it’s less abrasive and much faster, using the glass to buff the cuticle away is much gentler than scraping. My proximal nail fold is so sensitive, sometimes the metal hitting the skin hurts or I accidentally cut it (not deep enough to cause blood but still sore). So glass for me, even though it takes longer.

I've only got my nails done professionally once and pushing back the cuticles really hurts me. Now I just paint my own nails occasionally and leave the cuticles

To one Suzy, from another Sussi 😊
What is the name of that too ? (The last one) 😊❤

[antoinettellsg]

Yessss! You teach me more within 5 seconds of your videos. More than any other nail channels that I might watch for 15 minutes! 🙏🏽

[krazedshade]

It took me this video to finally decide to conform. Thanks Suzie for explaining and teaching and not just saying oh you can do what you want. You can do what you want but if you remove the cuticle it will make your nails last longer. ❤

[Janedoesasmr]

I tend to overdo it. I so want to get rid of as much cuticle as possible, since mine are particularly sticky and strong, I always cut/push way too much and end up hurting myself 😅

[Timmy]

I’m in love with NCE it has literally helped me in all areas of my nail career and I’m just a beginner lol

[lx]

please be more specific when talking about that area because it causes a lot of confusion, the skin you pushed back is the (keratinised) proximal nail fold (or just living skin if you dont wanna use a fancy name) and the tissue you removed is cuticle. they are not both cuticle

[aprianasucitadewi]

I usually use e file to remove that sticky things, much faster, and yes removing that sticky thing is IMPORTANT to keep nails from lifting

[rochellecarpenter]

What is that nail tool you are using to get the sticky stuff it's really neat thank you for sharing I have learned so much from you you are easy to learn from

[mas]

Thank you for your careful instructions. As a customer, I hate when manicurists do this really fast and are jamming the cuticle pusher into the skin on my hand, particularly when they use the metal cuticle pusher. I cannot ever understand why they do this. I understand time is money, but this makes the process unpleasant and, can't it damage the new nail growth?
