How to Use Tweezerman Pushy [Cuticle Removal Tool]

[@YamIa3gypsy]

See, what would I do without you. I didn’t know about rinsing off the cuticle remover off BEFORE I work on the removal…yikes. Thank you Anna. This was very helpful! 🌺

[@MissJeriB]

Omg me either!!!

[@bees_nail_art82]

I don't wash it off just me I guess seems weird to wash it off then remove the cuticle

Watching cuticle removal up close is so calming to me 😄 Thank you, Anna! I had been scrapping my cuticle like I was scrapping ice off my car! So, I learned somes new techniques from you which I will apply. I love the Tweezerman nippers, too. I will have to pick up this pushy tool -- perfect for my handbag.

[@juliehamburger8232]

I have learned so much from your videos 👍🏻. Beauty schools need your information because every time I have a professional manicure the manicurist - uses the cuticle remover to soften the ‘Proximal fold’ then leaves the cuticle softener on while pushing back the proximal fold as though it’s actually the cuticle - but wait there’s more 😩they then take their Nippers and begin to clip and rip that skin away from my nail bed!!! Oh yeah it hurts and it’s drawn blood at times. I’ve tried all types of salons from ‘walk-in, to deluxe spas, and in between. You’d think with safety and sanitation they’re taught in beauty school they wouldn’t expose the ripped skin to bacteria, and worse. To top it off they always clean the nail with alcohol before the nail polish- talk about pouring salt into the wound. Alcohol on freshly nipped and ripped nail beds will send you out of your chair with the instant and lasting pain that causes. OMG. That’s why beauty schools need you. That you for taking the time to show and teach us all the very best way and why to care for your nails. Brilliant work keep it up. Many thanks.

[@leanneg2347]

My experience as well. I went to a very reputable salon and during the manicure the technician cut into the fold. My nails looked “good” for about a day and then they started to hurt. The worst was the cut skin bleeding a bit and the formation of painful hangnails. On my vacation I had to put salve on my fingers to help them heal. I then found this wonderful KZbin channel and after watching a few tutorials I can now do my own natural manicure and my nails and hands have never looked better!

[@elizabethannveronica]

This is amazing!! It makes me realize I am entirely too rough with removal- and then I wonder why my nails don’t look better. Thank you!!

[@llchapman1234]

I've learned so much about manicures from this channel. Thank you for such great videos! So helpful 😀

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you so much for your kind comment ❤️

[@itiswhatitis0090]

I have gouged my nail with a metal cuticle pusher in an effort to remove cuticle. It’s taking months to grow out. The pusher was curved and I was being very aggressive, I think. Thanks to your satisfying videos, I’ve learned to be gentle. Thanks so much, Anna!

[@EHCH66]

Thank you, your teachings and tips are very good and helpful, my nails look much better now!

[@snafu8203]

Very informative and detailed. The close-ups were very helpful to see what areas you were explaining. This information will help me up my own nail care routine and the nail care of my daughters and granddaughter. Would love to see more of these types of in-depth videos.

[@DillyDahlia]

I’ve gotten in the habit of pushing back my cuticles and scraping up cuticle with the opposite thumbnail while in the shower while everything is well-hydrated, then using lotions and cuticle cream throughout the day. Just doing that my nails look a lot better than they used to.

[@bees_nail_art82]

You shouldn't soak them in water it makes them peel I wear gloves in the shower and after I wash my hands I use oil and hand lotion everytime

[@itiswhatitis0090]

I admit, I’ve done the same thing. (Gently) scratching off that cuticle is very satisfying! While I’ll never wear gloves in the shower, I’m using Anna’s tutorials to learn to proper techniques. 🙂

[@fromscratcheewithstef]

This might be the most useful channel on the internet. I have one of these tools. I have no idea where it came from and until today, no idea what it was. But I can tell you that I DO give my all for my at-home manicure ls and this tool has been sitting on my vanity....opening stubborn makeup compacts. For. Years. 🤣😂

[@DavidTretheweydtreth]

I love the squeeze and release technique

[@lorrainegreen6782]

I have one of those Tweezerman tools. Now I know how to use it properly. Thanks!

[@barblallier9413]

I've used the Tweezerman set for yrs,,,just love it! Thanks for more helpful info,,I never knew I could push skin back with polish on. I think it will make my weekly mani easier!❤

[@anjafreiburg5882]

Thank you for your education! Do you have any tips for ridges in nails? They were passed on from my parents. Thank you!!!

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Ania! Here is a recent video I did :) How To Care For Ridgy Nails [ANNA'S NAIL ADVICE] 🕵️‍♀️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJjVn31qjc6MkMU

[@gracenicole9288]

I would like to warn anyone who picks and tries to remove that ‘one last little piece that’s bothering you.’ The last time I got a little overzealous with picking, I used a toothpick. For that ‘one tiny piece that was annoying me’ As the weeks went on I noticed something strange on my nail plate. It was a hole! I accidentally dug a whole into my fingernail by digging under the proximal nail fold. That’s something I never did again.

[@fionaH101]

[@sandymakesplans]

called me out

[@bbymks5]

I'll definitely be ordering one after Christmas! I had a different brand but tossed it, it felt really sharp!

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes. Some of them are like razors! This one has a very good balance between sharp and safe

[@tanjaeven4456]

Love your educational videos soooooo much.

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you very much Tanya!❤️

[@theodora_pilates]

I find it crazy that my nails look exactly like yours! Even though mine right now are full of ridges and it's very embarrassing and I try to hide them all the time, it makes me feel better seeing yours, especially short and without nail polish 🥰 Exactly like mine used to look! And I'm starting to think that maybe I've damaged the nail matrix by doing this whole process very aggressively, and maybe that's why I got ridges 😳😭

[@TheSalonLife]

Hi Theodora! Thank you for your comment! I think you emailed me, I'm so behind on my emails. I will get to it :) I'm not ignoring you :)) PS. I don't think ridges are due to damage esp when they are vertical. It's usually genetic and due to ageing I'm afraid :)

[@theodora_pilates]

@@TheSalonLife oh thank you! ❤️ I was a bit desperate when I messaged you, but after watching more of your videos I realized there's not much I can do rather than warm oil soaks which I've started already, plus all the advice you've given. And it's reassuring to know I didn't do it myself by aggressively pushing the pnf, just maybe by using cheap nail polish for 20 years non stop 😂😭 Any feedback would be greatly appreciated but I understand you're busy and you've probably answered my questions already in your videos so it's ok really ☺️ I just thought maybe you'd find the pics useful for your page too, even though it was a very embarrassing process taking them lol. Anyways, again thank you! 🙏 PS: I tried different diets and supplements to see if it makes any difference, it doesn't. Just like you've already said. 40+ is a fun ride! 🙄😂

[@manonj7990]

I have one of these and unfortunately it scratches/grinds my nail, that’s why I’m looking to buy the glass one you use on your channel.

[@TheSalonLife]

Thank you so much Scouty! Please let us know how it went!

[@flopipop5376]

I don't use cuticle remover anymore it was so drying on my nails and enhanced ridges. Now soap and water are doing the job without damage. But hydration twice daily of this area has made cuticle mostly disappear I only do manucure Every 3d week now

[@thornbird6768]

Tweezerman are a great brand 👍🏻 I love their eyebrow tweezers . I will definitely try their cuticle pusher .

[@sandymakesplans]

12:10 was so satisfying

[@ChristineLV]

I have been watching many of your videos that mention NOT cutting the skin that has grown up over the nail. I used to do that all the time. I had a manicure - once in my life - and when the woman went to cut the skin around my nail I told her I had seen that she should not do that. She said, "It's okay." So, you think , who do I believe??? Anyway, after watching your videos, I understand. When I do trim that skin, I do experience much of the skin at the base of my nails peeling back and I am constantly pulling it off as it is unsightly. I will stop that! Thank you - but my question today is this: does pushing the skin back with a towel after bathing or doing dishes help?

[@bees_nail_art82]

I would wear gloves when washing dishes lots of water getting in the nails is bad for them unless you oil and use lotion afterwards

[@annearaullo2917]

If we do not wear nail polish, is using a wash cloth after taking a shower to push back the proximal nail fold and remove any cuticle sufficient?

[@TheSalonLife]

Great idea and very effective! You can do that with polish too.

[@karissa07]

This is great. I feel like I don't have much cuticle come off. Is that normal?

[@aliciaklein7492]

I've watched your video on this and the glass cuticle tools. Both look like they work really well. Which do you recommend or do they work best for different types of nails?

[@lindamintz716]

I didn't catch what kind of product you dropped on your cuticles to soften them. This was a very good video!

[@Morgan358_]

@@lindamintz716 It was Blue Cross cuticle remover. She has a link in the description if you’re interested. 🙂

[@debrabuckley883]

I just found you and wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. They are very educational and I appreciate that very much. Your voice is so soothing and I love to hear you talk, I would even watch you demo peeling potatoes just to hear you speak. 🤣🤣 Thank you!

[@itzims5248]

I have a full size tweezerman(I thought it was, but no logo...?) cuticle pusher which also has the square flat edge on one end but the other side is pointy flat spear shape. On mine, one side of each end is flat and the other side is curved/dome shaped. I can't use this pusher. Having extremely ridged nails, it doesn't remove cuticle because I can't do the sideway scrape you do. Doing that hits the ridges and it's a bit too sharp for my fragile nails. Mine is pretty much useless for pushing back the proximal nail fold too. The curved rounded edge on the pusher side of your mini seems more useful and gentle for pushing PNF.

[@TheSalonLife]

You made a very good point. For ridgy nails the flat side and going sideways might not be a good idea. The glass one would be better because the contact area is much smaller.

[@carolannscibelli-may785]

Another amazing tutorial. Thank you . I have been following you for several months and so enjoy your instruction. My nails have improved a little, as I have copied your techniques. Question: I ordered the Mont Bleu cuticle pusher and files. It seems the Tweezerman might be better for us amateurs, as the former feels quite sharp and is a thicker stick to hold. What do you think?

[@carolannscibelli-may785]

I meant to say that my nails have improved a lot, not a little!

Hello! I've been binging all your videos and really enjoying and appreciating everything you're doing. I would like to pick up a few of your recommendations on Amazon but can't figure out how to find yall in the app. I know your specialty is nails and not tech support, but I figured worth asking!

[@cyberpunklain]

repackaging products can be bad for its shelf life bc its formulated to be kept in the plastic bottle! i would recommend just getting a seperate dropper (without the bottle) and use that with the poured out cuticle remover for easier application.

[@carolinecameron5710]

Hi Anna, thanks for another great video. In the effilliate link for this video it is a germanium glass manicure stick but on others it's mont bleu, may I ask which one you prefer before I make the purchase 🙂 wishing you and msl well 🙌🏻

They are both very good as confirmed by many knowledgeable viewers. We don’t have the Germanicure available here and you guys don’t have sticks made by Mont Blue. They are both good :)

[@tiffanyhatch4174]

This video was definitely helpful! I have one of these tools and wondered exactly how to use it the proper way. I have unfortunately let my manicurist, and also myself, cut the living skin. Mine has some thickness to it. Over time using gentle techniques and not cutting it, will it lose that thickness? Thank you!!

[@TheSalonLife]

Yes, just like if you have a scab eventually with care and protection that skin will become elastic and smooth. :)
