After all my years this is the first time I’ve seen the cuticle explained properly. I thought the skin fold was the cuticle! I cant wait to see my nails improve trying this properly.
So happy to hear this!!
Once you do this method, you will never go back ever again to cutting skin around your nails! And it is so quick! ❤
Yes, I love how easy and quick it is! I have my manicure done in 30 min :))
Perfect video!! You are the best teacher for nails !! Could you do a video on a basic woman’s pedicure. I would love to see how to handle the hard skin around the toenail . Also how to properly file the edges of the toenail . Thank u ❤❤❤
What do you do if you have a lot of dry skin on that skin area under Cuticle? I’m trying to heal it after years of peeling that skin when dry. Been doing oil soaked and constantly putting cuticle oil but it’s creating areas again where looks like I should peel. Should I leave and continue with the oils?
I love how educational this video is while still being informational. I was 33 years old when I learned cuticle is not the skin!! No wonder manicures end up making your nails look worse. Thank you for this video. More people need to see it.
Hands down the best nail channel on TH-cam!!
Wow, thank you kindly!! I’m trying my best :))
I am from Canada. I stop going to nail salons because they are cutting living skin.
My nails never look better after watching your videos and doing my own manicure. Thank you
💌
I'm so happy you enjoy the videos :))
I have not used a cuticle nipper in like a year or so ever since watching your educational videos of ‘soften, push, scrape/file’ and my cuticles look clean and pampered! (Wish I could send a photo of my cuticles close up to you to show)
Woooooow! I've been into nail polish for a few years already, and this is the first time I've seen such a comprehensive vid about cuticle removing! Thank you for sharing, it was really informative and to the point, I'm trying this ASAP!
Excellent video, Anna. Very up-close and very clear explanation. I hope many learn what the cuticle actually is!!! Brava!!!
Thank you so much!
thank you for the detail explanation and graphic. Very helpful!
Hello Anna! It's always a pleasure to learn from you. I have to say since I started following your suggestions about taking off cuticles and not the living skin, and moisturizing everyday, stopping touching, rubbing, biting the skin around the nail, the look of my hands has really improved! They look healthier and tidier, and the living skin is more soft and regular, not messy and "broken" as before. Thank you for sharing with us notions with a scientific foundation, that pay attention also to the health of the nails, and not just obsessively to the aesthetic. Un abbraccio dall'Italia 🎈
I never knew this ! Thanks for information
This was so helpful! Thank you for. such an informative video.
So informative and satisfying!
Thank you so much!
how interesting! I have that tool and had no idea what it was for!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. Very informative.🎉
Great quick video on cuticle care!
Thank you :). Cuticle removal though. We care for the skin around the nail. Cuticle we remove as I shown :)
Fantastic explanation!
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
This was so useful! Thank you 😊
You're so welcome!☺️
Thank you for the educational element in your videos! You teach us how to have Healthy, not just beautiful nails. I always learn valuable information from you videos. Thank you!
Oau!Very easy!Thank you!
Now I wish I had done a before and after. The oil soak and the cuticle care have given my natural nails new life after years of wearing acrylic. Thank you for all the wonderful and very useful information.
So happy to hear this! 🥰
awesome tutorial!😃
thank you❤️
You're welcome 😊
Love your videos my nails are looking so much better I have the blue cross and push back the fold every two days and add jojoba oil ❤❤❤
Wow! The best, most informative video addressing cuticle removal. The addition of the nail diagram and where it is inserted AT the time of the description is PERFECTION!!
I’m so happy the video was helpful! Thank you so much for writing!! 🤗
Anna you are a WONDERFUL teacher!! My nails are so healthy now all because of you❣️
Same for me!
I owe my healthy nails to Anna. Warm wishes from Minnesota! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! 🤗
Madame, you are a true artist! Thank you so much for your educational videos.
Thank you for your kind words!
This is very helpful information. Thank you!
You are so welcome! More about this in upcoming video :))
Wowwwww!!!!! Amazing explanation ❤
Thank you! 😃 I have to say I’m a little proud of this video as well because I did it in 1 take and I managed not to ramble hahah
Great advice ❤
Glad you think so!
Anna is a life saver! I’ve been always insecure about my nails. And I’ve been following her tips. My nails look entirely different ! Thank you Anna ❤️❤️❤️
Glad I could help!
Thank you Anna, I have implemented several of the natural nail tips, they have all really worked wonders for me!!❤
So glad to hear this Carrie!!
i love the pushy tool and use it. Never go back to glas file and i bought alot of this. Thanks for showing!
I call it an orange stick…
Thanks for sharing. ❤️
You're welcome :) Thank you for writing!!
Thank you so much for a detailed explanation of what is going on between the nail plate and the proximal nail fold. After following your tips studiously for the past year or so and seeing so much improvement, I got creative and started cleaning out in between the PNF and the nail plate and I was shocked at how much "stuff" came out. (Not gunna lie, it was pretty satisfying. ) I thought it was all dead cuticle tissue, now I know I was disrupting those stem cells. My proximal nail folds didn't change too much but I could tell the seal between the PNF and the nail plate was broken. I don't think I've done too much damage but I'm not going to be doing that anymore at all, and just really babying my nails again.
Thank you again for making such detailed content- my nails really have improved so, so much over the past year or so!! ❤
I've been doing it all wrong. Thank you for the education
Hi, thanks for the video! Can I use just the steel pusher to push back lightly the proximal fold and then remover+pusher again? Dont want to buy too many things
Thank you!!!
You're welcome! Thank you for writing! ❤️
Appreciate this video ❤
Thank you very much!!
Thank you so much for showing this method and explaining everything so clearly! I have been watching many nailcare videos recently and I always get nauseous when it comes to cuticle cleaning because what I've seen so far looked horrifying to me. This video is the first one where I feel that it's perfectly safe and nothing gets damaged what shouldn't.
I can relate. People send me videos of very invasive techniques and I can’t even watch them. It makes me nauseous.
I don’t know why there is so much hate for that poor skin fold around the nails.
Instead of caring for that skin people literally mutilate it.
I clicked the Amazon link for that tool, but it just takes me to the Amazon home page.
Love your channel!
Which tool link doesn’t work? Thank you for letting me know!
Fantastic!! Your explanation was very helpful!!
I've just recently started watching your videos as I'm trying to repair and grow my nails as they've been left weak from using acrylics. Thanks very much for this video. I've watched a lot of videos from different channels about cuticles, what they are, how to remove etc. I still didn't fully grasp the information about cuticles until this video. I now finally understand what the cuticle is and how to remove it. Your explanation is detailed but easy to understand. God bless you for sharing this information and I wish you all the best in everything you do. I've liked and subscribed ❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment :)) I'm so happy I was able to clear things up. :))
Woah I did not know that was the cuticle. Or how to get rid of it easily like this. Very helpful video.
So happy it helped! I’m goi g to post a video soon about a client who went from cutting her skin folds to my method. That was her reaction too! “This is so easy!” I love to hear this!
hey! sorry for the off topic question!! i recently bought the mavala k+ nail treatment and i was expecting to use it every day for a while without using any nail polish. but the instructions that came with it say to apply base coat on top and apply 3 times a week… i was wondering how you recommend going about it? do you know why they tell you to use base coat on top? >
Thank you.
❤️
When I was a kid all our clothes were handwashed. That meant spending a ton of time in water, and in that time the cuticle gets really really soft and just sloughs off. It also turns whiter so you can see it better. That's how I learned what the cuticle is and I learned to soak my hands and feet before I could ever get cuticle removers.
The reason why cuticle remover is great is because you don’t have to soak the whole nail. And they are much more effective than just water :). But yes. Before cuticle removers we used just soapy water
When you rinse off the Blue Cross, do you need to use soap? If not right away, should you use soap to wash your hands after removing the cuticles?
Thank you for the thorough explanation. I bought a cuticle remover from a beauty supply store and I felt it didn't work well for me. But I think I wasn't leaving it on long enough and I wasn't prepping my nails with rubbing alcohol either (I normally wash my hands before working on my nails), so I will try your tips and tricks.
You don’t really have to use the alcohol. For some it’s easier to see what is the skin fold and what is cuticle after the area is clean and wiped with alcohol.
@@TheSalonLife oh okay. Thank you for the clarification ❤️
thank you for your videos! I tried acrylics for the first time and have been rehabbing my nails since with help from your videos.
I haven't found any of your videos where you mention press ons with nail glue. how damaging are these, and are the glue debonders damaging?
Hello Carly, I'm all about improving the natural nails and making them healthy. Not really fan of press ons with nail glue. I mean once a year or something, fine but all the time, no.
@The Salon Life
I love the Blue Cross Cuticle Remover, however it seems to me that THAT is what’s being removed. Meaning it leaves a film on the nail and that is what you see being removed with the cuticle pusher?
Hi Carol, thank you for writing!
It might be a bit of both. I rinsed off the Blue Cross well before removing the cuticle.
I watched a video of yours about 6 months ago. For reference I have smaller hands that 9/10 year olds. Every time I would go to get my nails done they would complain my nails were too tiny and would have to shape the 2 smallest tips a LOT to fit my nails. I would love to send you before and after pictures from 6 months ago to today. All of my closest friends and family asked why I started getting fake nails and are floored when I tell them they are my own nails. Where could I send you an email with pics? I really wish you knew exactly how helpful you’ve been. You’ve changed my life actually. I’m now planning on going to nail school to be a nail technician and am no longer embarrassed about my tiny hands. To be honest they don’t even look that small now that my nails are on point. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. @thesalonlife
Oh gosh, thank you so much for your kind words! I would love to see your photos thesalonlife@gmail.com
My nails always have ridges and the ridges chip at the edges of my nails. Will taking better care of my cuticles help? What else would help?
Hi Mary! We remove the cuticle during the manicure but we take care of the skin around the nails. That is not a cuticle.
Here is a good nail and skin care routine
3 simple habits that will transform your nails (for the better!)
th-cam.com/video/8LXeYtTG8OU/w-d-xo.html
I'm curious about the translucent part of the nail. Is that considered healthy? Is that considered a nail that is fully and properly attached to the nailbed? I'm asking this as for many years I've had a similar situation with my big toes. I have never worn nail polish so that would not be the reason. But particularly after a bath when moisture gets in, you can see the water has penetrated quite deelpy, at 75% of beneath the nail where I believe it should not reach. I can mask this effect temporarily by applying oils or creams in the gap beneath. However, this not solve the issue and I am concerned about the nail not reattaching.
If the Hyponychium is not broken there is nothing wrong with the nail. Nail is porous and builds up moisture or soaks oil and then becomes more translucent sometimes. Also when it’s over filed. Which in my case the nail is not. Clear area doesn’t mean that it supposed to be attached to the nail bed there
Do you soak your nails before doing this or no? I often soak my nails in warm water before applying blue cross cuticle remover but it doesn’t seem to always work super well. Would it possibly work better on dry nails?
Everything is explained in these 2 videos :)

@@TheSalonLife thank you!!
Pozdrawiamy! ❤️
Isn’t alcohol very drying for nails? Also my right hand nails grow slower than my left hand nails, yes I’m right handed any tips 😊
The poison is in the dose. One glass of wine could be ok once a week. 2 bottles of vodka every day, not so much :)
I haven’t noticed any dryness wiping the nails twice a week with alcohol.
But I also apply oil pretty much after each hand wash.
@@TheSalonLifeok what about getting my nails to grow on my right hand
Hi! I do have hypothyroidism so the skin around my nails and tips of my fingers is extra dry up to the point of cracking. My manicurist used to nip it but I find that it overgrows that way. I like to smooth it with a file. Any reccomendations on creams or oils that could help with that? I feel like all hand creams are not thick enough to actually make any difference 🥺

Hi, i really appreciate your channel i have a off topic questions, my wife wants to do nails at home and we are so confused about nails inc companies: if you could chose top 3 witch will be that so many companies ao many paid reviews on those blogs .... please if you find time to drop a comment ( is expensive always better dior etc)
Hello; I’m not sure I understand your question…
@@TheSalonLife what's your top 3 nail polish brands?
My needs might not be the same as your needs.
For me it’s Dazzle Dry (5 min fully dry and doesn’t yellow the nails)
Probably CND Vinylux, good brushes
Drugstore brand Revlon Ultra Snap (great formulas, fantastic brushes)
Zoya also has excellent brushes (the wide ones)
Brushes make a huge difference in how the polish applies.
Another excellent polish is Cien, a cheap polish from Lidl. Limited colors but great formula and good lasting.
@@TheSalonLife many thanks 😇😇😇
Is it ok if I just remove my cuticles with a glass nail pusher without using a liquid cuticle remover?
Definitely. I have an example on my channel
But it’s easy to overdo it because the glass tool is sharp. People very often scrape their nails. They don’t feel where the cuticle ends and their nail starts
@@TheSalonLife Thank you for explaining, and demonstrating. I’ve never used a cuticle remover before.
Oops I have been going under the skin. Thank you...
Me too - it must be a common mistake
Anna, would you say that using cuticle removal more than once a week could damage the nail? I am usually trying to stick to once a week but lately it looks like I need more 🙈
Cuticle grows with the nail. In 1 week the new growth of the nail nail (with the cuticle on top of it) is 1mm. On my video it was a 2 week growth.
Why do you feel you “need it” more?
Is the skin around your nails dry? That is not cuticle. And the remover should not really go on the skin
And yes if you do it too much you are going over area that had the cuticle removed already.
Cuticle does not crawl up the nail. It moves on top of the nail with the nail.
@@TheSalonLife I am worried about leaving the solution longer and it looks like not everything is removed with shorter contact time. I also don’t want to press on my nails too much when scraping the cuticle off either. For whatever reason it looks like lately I have more cuticle 🤪
Are you doing one hand at a time? Which remover are you using? How long are you leaving it for?
@@TheSalonLife yes, one hand at a time - prolinc/ cuticle eliminator - 1 minute
Wow, I learned a lot from this - I've been using my tool in the wrong direction and not leaving the remover on long enough.
Since I've been following your advice, my nails are steadily improving. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Glad it was helpful! 🤗
Oh noo i just did my manicure before watching this video cuz i didnt get the notification 😢oh BTW, is it safe if u remove cuticle during or after the shower? i always do that though but i dont push it too hard cuz it is very soft and i dont wanna damage my nail plate (if that's what u called) 🤣
I would do it after a shower. You need good light, good tools and see what you are doing. I don't think I would be able to remove it in the shower.
But are you talking about removing the cuticle or nudging back the skin fold?
@@TheSalonLife im removing the cuticle with my nails (right thumb on my left hand nails and left thumb on my right hand nails) and 😂 i did like what you did with the tool on the video and i did it to the side so i am not pushing it back to the nail fold
does a cuticle grow when I have a nail polish on? I've been told that it can't grow onto a nail plate because of layer of nail polish, which I wear everytime
Cuticle moves with the nail. The nail grows with the polish on so the cuticle moves with the nail. So it doesn't "crawl" up the nail onto the nail polish but it will be on the new growth. So the cuticle doesn't grow but it moves on top of the nail plate as the nail is growing.
Please see the video th-cam.com/video/9-imjnSGL4c/w-d-xo.html
@@TheSalonLife thank you!
does anyone know where she purchased the glass dropper bottle?? (for the blue cross cuticle remover)
It’s a repurposed bottle from the Ordinary serum. :)
is there anyway to do this without a cuticle remover?
Yes. But it’s easy to overdo it because you need to use a sharp tool. People very often scrape their nails. They don’t feel where the cuticle ends and their nail starts
@@TheSalonLife okay thankyou!!
How long does the cuticle grow back?
I’m not sure I understand your question…
👍
If you don't polish the nail is there any reason to remove the cuticle?
No :)
That light area looks like it’s separated and will peel. Mine do that all the time😕
I do have a question: Why does one have to remove the cuticle? Does nail polish stay better?
Yes, I explain it in my recent video: th-cam.com/video/t3VetexZowc/w-d-xo.html
@@TheSalonLife Thank you 😊
You have beautiful and healthy nails. Why do you wear them so short?
Because I like them that way. :)
My cuticles are out of control, covering a good third of my nails. No matter what I do, they always grow much more than they should. Makes me crazy. Why is it some people never had problems with this , and others do? How do I keep this from happening? 😞
Please follow this for a month or 2 and let me know how it worked for you :)
It works. Proof: th-cam.com/video/_2N7L2krd8w/w-d-xo.html
That light area is an area that’s going to peel!
Not at all. You will see my next video that when I leave polish off for 1 day the whole free edge dries out and becomes white. I never get any peeling.
I will post a link when the video is ready. I talk about it.
The nails look like there is a thin coating of acrylic on them..
These are my nails and there is no acrylic on them. :)
I’m 77 and have been doing this wrong all my life
Wow! Thank you! I learned so much from your wonderful videos. Now I can use the money I’m saving on manicures to take lessons to improve my golf handicap. (hand-i-cap. Get it?)
thanks so much for this! I recently started my natural nail growth journey after using acrylic nails for a year and a half non stop 😢 i started using cuticle remover but i was pushing it towards the nail plate! No wonder why they never ended up looking great haha im glad i follow you now cause im a newbie at this 🫶🏻
I’m not surprised because we always hear “push back the cuticles”. But why? So you have all that dead skin cells under the skin fold?
