That blue is to die for!! The way your sister's cuticle is reminds me of mine. I have to snip most of it and then go back and get the rest under further. Thank you for sharing this! Love the nails!
I wish more nailtechs would know the simple difference between the cuticle and the proximal nailfold. So many (otherwise extremely talented people) are cutting off life skin and hurting the nail. It’s one of the reasons why people have to go back to the salon or nailtech. Because the nails get buffed so thin and the live tissue is cut again and again. So the nails become thin and brittle. And the skin and nailfold becomes dry and overgrown.
I rarely ever get my nails done, but my nailfolds, and cuticles, and even some of the skin around my nails are so dry and just yucky. Would a cuticle oil help that, lotion? Any ideas?
@@kaleenawyatt7832yes, an oil would help, and so would a little bit of Kerasil. The Salon Life has some good tips, but I use the Kerasil at night before I sleep and my nails & proximal nail fold are all in pretty nice condition. I also have cuticle oil pens (just jojoba oil) and I use them once a day (I should do more). It takes a while for results to show with things that will make a long-term difference, so don't get discouraged. I made it a habit and one day I looked at my nails & cuticles and they weren't peeling & dry anymore.
@@kaleenawyatt7832Yes I would highly recommend Jojoba oil or just a really good hand moisturizer. I work with a lot of cleaning agents and my skin gets super dry and my nail beds look worse for wear. I started putting on oil every night and I noticed better results super quick!!
@@kaleenawyatt7832 Hey 😊 The three most important things for healthy natural nails are: •Jojoba oil/nailoil containing jojoba for the proximal nailfold (what most people wrongly refer to as cuticles) •Gently pushing the cuticles down •Not buffing the nails again and again If you have really dry proximal nailfolds, a cream that contains urea and petrolatum (like kerasal for feet) will also do wonders when used along side with jojoba oil. The main thing is to do it several times a day. At least 3. In a month or so the area around your nails will really be transformed. And only cut anyway hangnails. For exess cuticle use a good cuticle remover. -the cuticle is what grows up along the nailplate. If you have really damaged nails from acrylic og gel you have to wait and grow them out. Keep the free edge very short (the white top part of the nail) until they have grown out again to avoid breakage. Hope this helps! Love from Danmark
Absolutely beautiful! I’ve never seen the what I would call “one stroke” method of picking up paint used for anything other than actual one stroke. The effect is beautiful. Gorgeous set! ❤
My husband's cuticles are twice as thick as that. He's a nail biter and works with his hands so I do dry manicures to stop the skin splittling and getting sore, but also a little because its always such a satisfying transformation!
Stunning nail's Tatyana your sister is so lucky to have such a talented nail artist do her nail's...I love your design and that blue gel polish is 😍...love the addition of the crystal's...thank you for sharing xo 💜💅💜
i think another reason why flipping the hand around to make sure the nail shape is straight works, is because staring at something for a long time makes the brain numb to mistakes. i do it lots with my drawings as a digital artist and it helps to bring things back into perspective 👍
You are obviously very talented and the set is so beautiful. But you are hurting the nail. You are not cutting of cuticle but some of the actual proximal nailfold. Wich is live skin.
Actually not at all. She only cut what was dead skin. If it was live skin, it would bleed. This amount that she cut off is the perfect way to clean russian manicure. Obviously not every cuticles on every client can be cut this much, it is always very individual for each and every nail and skin.
@@Kaciiiii I am aware that this is how russian manicure is done. And I do not deny her talent. She is obviously very gifted and experienced. But try to google a picture of the proximal nailfold. You will see, that many nailtechs wrongly refer to it as the cuticle. Where the cuticle is the ‘cement’ that holds the nailplate to the proximal nailfold. The cuticle grows a little above the proximal nailfold and that is the only thing that should be removed during manicure if you want to have healthy nails. Russian manicure techniqes really damage the natural nail in the Long run. By creating a crevis between the proximal nail fold and nailplate you allow for protential damage. A great nailtech like her obviously works with clean drills and tools. So the risk is minimal. But it’s still there. And live skin doesn’t nessesarily bleed. The outer layer of your dermis is ‘live’ but doesn’t bleed. Either way in the long run russian manicure will cause a dry and overgrown proximal nailfold. So if the client choose to go back to natural nails it will be hard with the damage done. I just wish more nailtechs were telling the truth about that. And don’t call the proximal nailfold cuticle. How many times can I write proximal nailfold? 😅
