HOW TO PUSH, CUT & CLEAN CUTICLES AT HOME | Tips by a Nail Tech

[@kwradar12]

I mix a teaspoon of olive oil, a few drops of lemon, and then about a teaspoon of salt, mix together and then gently scrub my nails/cuticles and hands. This perfectly removes cuticles as you rub it around the base of the nail and the cuticle easily pushes up.

[@donnamibusart]

Omg, thank you!! I just tried this and it works! ❤

[@scarlettcortez6850]

At what point do you do this?? Before or after soaking/ softening your cuticles??? Thank you!!

[@discobean54]

I just started doing my own nails again for the first time in many many years and I STRUGGLE with trimming my cuticles well without them looking like they went through a blender, after. For some reason, it's impossible for me to clip away the dead stuff without accidentally clipping other stuff with the back end of the clipper, at the same time. I don't get it. they literally end up more torn up than they were by the time I finish

[@basicinfo551]

are you sure you are not trimming in a straight line? also, be sure not to overcut.

[@ASIANWOES]

Practice makes perfect! Make sure your cuticle nippers (please do not use low quality ones with thick blunt blades) are angled in the right direction and as Eman shared below, trim in a straight line and do not overcut. Don't forget to moisturize your cuticles as well after! 💕

[@cece.halpert]

Justine, you could try a smaller nipper jaw size!

[@-mikeyymoo-]

if it bleeds, you are *not* cutting your "cuticle". You are cutting you *Eponychium.* The cuticle is the dead skin on the surface of your nail plate, while the Eponychium is the living skin covering the matrix, as well as the lunua (when the lunua is too short)

[@marysolverba5743]

I love your clipper nipper❤❤

[@Lucia4_]

I've heard not to cut/snip of the eponychium its that line across the nail, it's what protects your nails from infections and bad stuff, you must keep it that is not the cuticle.

Thanks for this lovely video. :) I am just wondering how to use my weaker hand to do my right hand. Using my stronger hand to do the weaker hand is easy but not the other way round.

[@ASIANWOES]

Might cover this in another future video!! As a quick tip - keep your left hand supported (on a table / book) then move your right hand instead for better control 😊

[@elizabethnovak4951]

Great info for a nail care heathen. Are there any tricks for when you have to use your non-dominant hand?

[@wechwech695]

When I cut my cuticles it kinda leaves ridges in my skin but it doesn’t hurt (shows quite visibly where it’s been cut). Does that mean I’ve cut them too much?

[@ASIANWOES]

Yes! Try taking smaller cuts and moving your nippers as you take those small cuts!

[@wechwech695]

@@ASIANWOES gotcha! Thank you ☺️

[@ASIANWOES]

No problem at all! 😊

I never knew the cuticle remover before I just…wowww After watching this I wanna try it right now

[@ASIANWOES]

Yes!! Give it a try, it softens and makes it easier to remove 😬😬

[@bobzcar7820]

How do you keep your hands so soft and young? I have had old hands since I was 15

[@mamajhoy]

Wow thanks for sharing this tuturials for nails love this

[@Becca-UK]

Can you do this without using the cuticle remover liquid? 🤔 thanks 🙏 Great video xx

[@ASIANWOES]

Yes! You can also soak your fingers in water for about 5 minutes before you try to push your cuticles ☺️ if they are not budging, you can soak them for a little more ~

[@MiaRBeauty]

this is very useful to me as my cuticles are ALWAYS a tragic mess, i just don't know how to take care of them lol

[@ASIANWOES]

😂😂😂 glad it is!!! No matter what, please be careful and don’t cut yourself Mia!!

[@sherrimetoyer5801]

Good morning, taking time to say thank you for the walk-through. Do you need to soak your nails before the cuticle remover?

[@ASIANWOES]

Thank you 🌹 Depending on which cuticle remover you use, the one that I am using does not require soaking as it instantly softens the cuticle. However, if you are not using cuticle remover, you can soak your hands for 5 minutes before starting to push them ☺️

[@dollparts466]

i'm a nail tech student 1st year and i really struggle with cutting the cuticles do you guys have any tips how to improve T..T this is really upsetting me forreal...it feels like other students in my class are doing it better than me..

[@countrygirl7402]

I can do the pushing just not the trimming. I can't do it. I was cut pretty bad on my first paid for maincure. Then again on my second trip to a different salon. And I'll be darned if my theid trip wasn't perfect. So I had hope. Next trip, I was cut. I haven't paid for a mani/pedi since.

[@camerokid78]

Hey, new subbie here! Do you have links to the products you used in this? I want to make sure I use the best quality.

[@ASIANWOES]

I don’t have links… :( i got them at their supplier store offline 🥺 perhaps you can find a reliable source and get these products from them! 👍🏻

[@alexanderbuchholz2009]

Eponychium should never be cut because it will grow back thicker and tougher, almost like scar tissue, as it is trying to protect itself from the nippers.

[@ASIANWOES]

And that’s right!! Don’t nip too deep friends!

[@-mikeyymoo-]

@@ASIANWOES you're so dumb.. don't nip at ALL

You are pushing back living folding skin. That isn’t cuticles. Cuticles are the white dead skin around the edge of your nails when you push back the living folding skin. You could google this.

But you are not meant to cut the skin around the nail like that, that's not cuticle you're cutting, it's the skin around the nail! 🤷

am i the only one who is really scared to do this because it looks painful :(

Don't cut your cuticles yourself if you feel scared! Clipping and filing is not painful, and it will still give your nails a nice shape. I promise! 😁

[@-mikeyymoo-]

!!!THIS IS MISINFORMATION!!! What you were nipping is *not* something called a "live cuticle". You were cutting your eponychium, which is !!!LIVE SKIN!!! There is no such thing as a live cuticle, or "cuticle pocket" ! ! Please do not cut that living skin, it is a medical procedure, and you, as a "nail tech" should know this! I am a cosmetology student, senior year with an A, and 1000+ hours. You clearly do not know what you are talking about, and need to educate yourself IMMEDIATELY

I did myself for the first time but why does it hurt like tingling…? when my hands in contact with water after I done them. Am I doing it wrong? Also, how to get rid of the dry skin between the nails I have a lot of them 🥲

[@ASIANWOES]

Hello Kinder!! It sounds like you nipped too much and nipped into your live skin!! I hope you did not buy cheap nippers as it would have made it worse :( Be sure to clean your wounds properly and let them heal before you nip again (approx 2-3 weeks on average)~ If you are referring to the dry skin on the side of your nail, you can use the cuticle softener to soften it and push it out. But if you are talking about calluses on the finger by the nail, you can moisturize and exfoliate to slowly get rid of them ☺️
