This and your other posts are great! You explain the WHYS to your nail tips and techniques, not everyone does that. Knowing the why makes it easier to remember what to do and what not to do. Also you are down to earth and not an ego-maniac like some others, so it's a relief to listen to you. Also you are articulate and thoughtful about all the little details that go into a great result. I'm a fan, have subscribed and liked. Thank you.

Thanks Banicured, I'm a male manicurist in training & these tips are really helpful :)

[@Smeyanka]

Great tips especially about the cuticle! I would add one more - clean the neck of the bottle so the lid will close tightly and the polish doesn't dry up.

[@kayceegreer4418]

Cuticle is also called eponychium. It IS the dry, hardened, toughened ridge of thickened skin above the lunula (the half moon under the nail plate). It IS NOT JUST THE STUFF STUCK TO THE NAIL AFTER PUSHING BACK THE CUTICLE. It is the result of the cuticle not being pushed back regularly to keep it from sorta getting glued there. What you are calling cuticle is a thin layer of nail plate damage from having to work harder on neglected cuticles. And BTW folks sometimes that ridge of unsalvageable cuticle DOES need to be nipped or cut away CAREFULLY with curved cuticle scissors.

I’m 60 years old and I learned so much. Especially about the cuticles.... I did have a good laugh at the Acetone for thinning polish tho... I did know that one ... lol. Thank you for the info 💕💕

[@KzooBeerGirl]

I recently discovered that Sally Hansen Maximum Strength Instant Cuticle Remover (the blue gel kind) removes nail polish stains from the nail surface incredibly well. I had used a gorgeous blue polish (over Superchic Lacquer Bring It On basecoat, which is supposed to prevent stains) and was left with horribly stained nails (see the stains on IG: kzoobeergirl). I scrubbed them with acetone and the stains would not lift. I was doing some cuticle work and noticed that the stains were completely gone on the spots where the cuticle remover had sat for a few seconds so I slathered all my nails, waited about a minute then washed my hands and, Voila! No more stains! My other tip: Wrap your tips first, then paint on your polish so you aren't left with a line or ridge of polish at the tip.

[@davidamedina2705]

What does wrap your tips first mean?

[@AmanKaur-fh7im]

Davida Medina it means covering the edge of your nail with polish. It prevents your mani coming off quickly

[@floresapril7]

Thank you! I learned a lot and the Polish thinner is now on my list.😀💅

[@ShellyHickenbottom1961]

That is a very informative video. Could you do one for mistakes like when painting your nails you accidentally smear a little bit, or like I do sometimes I will be painting my nails and notice I have lint on the end of my nails. I would like to see a video on how to fix those mistakes.

[@brookielove1994]

You can actually use your tongue to fix a smudged nail, as crazy as that sounds. It really works, because your taste buds are so soft, they even it out for you. I do it all the time. Just make sure your polish has had time to dry a little bit so you don't end up eating wet polish. As far as the lint part goes, I'd either use a small brush with acetone to remove it, or just paint over it with a small brush so you don't ruin the whole design. :)

[@niki3261]

I even use my finger to fix it! I just lick my finger and try to push the polish back into place with a light touch.

[@Nemixtli]

Thank you for these tips!! I need to try the acetone tip for removing stains, oh and also the cuticle oil and using that to push back your cuticles. 😊

[@shawnaparsons7588]

remover was used to thin polish before thinner was sold to the public. It was the only way the public could do it but now thinner is sold any where polish is including your local Wal-Mart.

[@natalienh7029]

Also, l have just checked online and there really isn't much difference between the two. Acetone breakdown the polish and so does thinners. One is more expensive than the other,,and acetone does evaporate much quicker. Thinners can have toxic fumes, but I'm no expert on these things. It is all online.

"Excellent video",straight to the point ,taught me alot ,thank you for sharing.....

[@sherylegarrett8364]

Excellent yea yea!!!! I have learn sooo much from you concerning how to do my nails.

[@lasolnails7695]

All your tips are helpful , thank you!!

[@dmurphy9341]

How do you recommend thickening a polish? I have several that are too thin. I read to take the top off, clean brush & wrap it so it won't dry hard and then just leave polish to thicken via it dehydrating… do you recommend this or have another way?

[@pastelpink5986]

What colors are the purples and pinks you used or are wearing?

[@qutelittlequte7683]

Ik this is late but for 11:13 if u have a light colour u can use white polish first then add the light colour... idk if this is a bad idea but I get okay results...😅

[@SandyzSerious]

Excellent.

[@shellenahenry4632]

Thx for 4 tips

[@vickiehurt2665]

I know how to use nippers, especially to prevent hangnails. I’m very careful!

[@kpopfanforever7720]

I have a question. I have oily skin especially my hands and when I paint my nails they don't even last a day really. I even clean my hands and everything before I start painting my nails. do you or anyone else have any recommendations for me at all?

[@BrittMFH]

kpopfan forever77 I dehydrate my nails with alcohol or nail polish remover before polishing. I'm thinking they may be less harsh than pure acetone.

[@kpopfanforever7720]

Britt Hogan okay I will try it! thank you!!!

[@Nemixtli]

kpopfan forever77 They also have a nail dehydrator, I'm not sure of the brand but I've seen some KZbinrs mention it.

[@kpopfanforever7720]

Nemixtli oh really? I've never heard of it! thank you I will be on lookout for it!

[@MK-lo5os]

👍❤

[@brittneysmall1152]

2019 & just the other day I used acetone to think some older polish. Oops. Now I know better.

[@jazmennewberry5379]

Hii Bana :)

[@vickiehurt2665]

Capping the edges 😂

[@aishwaryareddy6537]

video actually starts at 1.16

[@Tiasbuddy]

I e never seen any cutting the heathy skin. It always non living tissue. And I watch a lot of videos.

[@dizzyrizzi6246]

Cheryl Stevens I’ve seen it done with Russian manicures and cuticle scissors. It looks nice but I can’t imagine it’s healthy for living tissue whose purpose is to protect your nail from bacteria

[@WhatwhowhyHim]

Someone cut the healthy skin at the back of my nails and it hurt terribly as it healed. It ended up causing tears in my skin that would swell and bleed. Never again.

[@Tiasbuddy]

Ouch

[@rlynch8504]

mistake #11, using products that test on animals - O.P.I., Essie, Sally Hansen...

[@kameilahking1743]
