🙌🏻 prep is life! I’m still waiting on my Helen nippers, and i literally can’t wait-I feel like I need a truck load of clients and family members with cuticles I can nip! 😂
I’ve just recently found your channel so i don’t know if you have one up already but I’d love a video on doing a backfill or infill with gel without an e-file! I love your videos! Think they are super informative and you are so friendly!!
They look great I prefer normal speed videos with plenty of explaining as I’m teaching myself to learn nails using TH-cam so need all the help can get I unfortunately unable to get lessons or expensive nail products but try my best to do what I can as I love ❤️ anything to do with nail including watching the art xxxx
jade cole I honestly don’t think they are for what your paying for to be completely honest... tools that last you 5 years! and there are so many discount codes where you get 10% off too 😊
Jasimine Young ahhh that’s absolutely fine then, once you have built up more of a client base and saved pennies then you can invest 🥰❤️ I started out spending so much money buying loads of cheaper tools ( probably actually spent more on cheap tools combined) considering navy tools with last me at least 5 years 👌😍
Yay, you posted this video on my birthday! 😄 I love watching your videos and you've inspired me to do some serious research for beginner nail tech courses. Also, 'Hello' from Malaysia 😊
My Martha arrived a couple weeks ago and I LOVE her, just waiting for Helen now 😍 You inspired me to make a TH-cam Channel Izzy and I'm one away from 100 so thank you so much x
The eponychium provides a barrier to protect your nails from infection. Without it, bacteria, dirt, and fungus can seep beneath your nail and cause an infection. So, you should never cut it off. Besides, cutting it off will cause it to grow back quickly, contributing to overgrowth.
It’s ok to cut it. While it provides benefits, many women get their nails done, with that cut off, and have done so for years with any infection being the exception and not the rule.
Oh yes and also in my experience, any amount of encouragement that cutting gives it to grow faster will easily go away with enough time spent not bothering it. So it’s not a permanent issue.
Are navy pro tools worth the money? I only do my own nails I’m not qualified or anything like that but I have gelled my own for years. Just looking for the next step in products/tools x
Hi Isabel, thank you for such a great video! This tutorial was clear and with easy step by step instructions to follow. My second name is Isabel 😆 anyway, thanks for a great tutorial!
I’ve heard that filing back and fourth is actually really damaging to your nails and can cause them to have jagged edges and it makes them prone to breakage. Is that true? I heard we were only supposed to file in one direction and I started doing that a couple weeks ago and have already seen a difference in my nails
Yes it’s damaging and causes micro tears on the free edge. The best way to file your natural nail is to start from the corner of the nail and file towards the center in one direction and then do the same from the other corner.
Just learn at your own pace as you go ,and be mindful of your time or time yourself. Most of us are willing to wait for a good manicure :) If anyone is impatient or rude you can always deny service if they make you uncomfortable or rush your artwork.
Hi! I never done something like this... is it necessary for the nail to be completely dry while pushing the cuticles ? Or I could use some warm water to make them softer ? Sometimes I hear the words "dry manicure " but I don't know if it's referred to that
wow! but i dont kinda use those tools, just found ur video randomly n its worth watching!! Q. how many days in a week do u do this..? and how is their soo much dead cells on ur cuticles!!? i think its becuz of the cream u used in the end i guess.. i was wondering if u can do a tutorial using simple n easy to go tools in ur daily life becuz using all those tools is worth but for a lazy person its damnn impossible..
how important would you say is the cuticle part? is it mostly just aesthetic or does it help the nail last longer? the reason i ask is because i have pretty healthy cuticles and i usually tell my nail tech not to mess with my cuticles because its uncomfortble and i end up getting hangnails. i dont think its too necessary because i dont have dead skin on my nails or white cuticle edges but let me know
I believe it’s mostly for aesthetic reasons. As long as built up keratin on the nail is gone, it shouldn’t interfere with the nail application. I suspect that cutting it away also helps to prevent some flooding in the cuticle.
I'd love to purchase navy pro tools I can see how they would up my prep game but.... They are over $400 Australian to get the set or $69 each maybe one day 😔
Hey, I’ve recently started off with gel nails and finding that my nails are not lasting on some people even two weeks. I do my prep the exact same and wipe the nail plate with acetone before going in with a base or builder. Is there anywhere people may know of that do a ‘nail prep’ class/course for just that??
Are you using a nail protein bond or like a booster before starting with base or builder? I think this prep is better than the young nails method butttt they have a nail protein bond and it works reallly well my nails make it to the month mark
Do manicurists in the UK autoclave their instruments? I see everyone using these tools and they look incredible but for the price I don’t see buying multiple sets doable and there is no way to autoclave the tools in between each client!
Hi Isabel. Fab video. Thank you. I want to order some bio files and tools. Can I order them from renew beauty if I’m not bio trained? I’ve tried emailing them with no response. I’ve even messaged on insta too 🤷🏼♀️x
Hi, just some constructive feedback. I absolutely love your videos, i watch them all but please can you try and direct this to all crowds as its a little subjective towards one type of clientele "dont cut the pink skin". Not all have pink skin so would be useful to know tips for other skin tones also.
JLambo JLambo heya lovely ahh thanks so much lovely☺️ but I think you might have slightly misunderstood I meant “pink” as in full of blood 🩸 so if you cut it it will make the skin bleed nothing to do with the actual colour of someone’s skin ❤️🥰 hopefully that makes sense 🥰

This was a fantastic video. I love watching pros work with their non dominate hand. I'd love to see a video of you doing your own enhancements next!
"You're only cutting the living tissue. Stay clear of the pink skin" as I look at my brown-skinned cuticles lololol
Your nail beds are so long and lovely, I’m so jealous! I have the circles on the end of carrot kind of fingers and nails 😭🙈😆
Oh I completely agree ! Her nails beds are amazing ! 😍
I've been trying to find a good quality nail prep video, thank you for this!
🙌🏻 prep is life! I’m still waiting on my Helen nippers, and i literally can’t wait-I feel like I need a truck load of clients and family members with cuticles I can nip! 😂

Id love to try the navy tools but there so expensive 😫
jade cole I honestly don’t think they are for what your paying for to be completely honest... tools that last you 5 years!
and there are so many discount codes where you get 10% off too 😊
They are expensive😫 I see the quality and would love to purchase but it would be an investment that a inspiring nail tech is hard to swallow
Jasimine Young ahhh that’s absolutely fine then, once you have built up more of a client base and saved pennies then you can invest 🥰❤️ I started out spending so much money buying loads of cheaper tools ( probably actually spent more on cheap tools combined) considering navy tools with last me at least 5 years 👌😍
I dont do anyones else's nails at the moment just mine & family, ive been qualified for years tho, maybe I should just get one tool at a time 🙂 x
Interest in Navy...message for US cost...shipping time. New enjoy you video professional. 🤗
This was so satisfying to watch and the prep work was perfect
So glad the music doesn't play while you're talking. Makes it easier to understand. Thanks.
Thank you for posting, this is super useful and informative! 🥰
I'm hoping to start nails soon, you have inspired me 💖
What grits did you use in the buffing part? :D Love how you don't etch the nail causing unnecessary damage!
Yay, you posted this video on my birthday! 😄 I love watching your videos and you've inspired me to do some serious research for beginner nail tech courses. Also, 'Hello' from Malaysia 😊
I LOVE😍😍😍 the real time style, it's really relaxing and definitely makes me feel better about taking my time.

YAS Martha has arrived wooooo!!! That’s great she is my ultimate fave😍😍🤩🤩🥳🥳
Used this video on my blog. You did amazing!
Thank you for sharing your nail prep routine! I’d love to see your review on the germanikure tools, especially the glass cuticle pusher and moon file!
Yay a how to video!!! Nothing more satisfying than watching nail prep🙏❤️

Great video Isabel thankyou for sharing your cuticle cleaning routine...those NavyPro tool's look fantastic 💜💅💜
Real time for in-depth tutorials are the best
Your prep work is flawless!
Are navy pro tools worth the money? I only do my own nails I’m not qualified or anything like that but I have gelled my own for years. Just looking for the next step in products/tools x
Hi Isabel love this tutorial off prepping the nails. Thank you for sharing. ❤️😘🇦🇺🐨🦘
Isabel your nails are perfect!!!!
This is the best video I have found
Great to see this in real time 👌🏻
May I ask why you do not soften the cuticles before prepping the nail bed?
You have such pretty nail beds.❤
l hope you inspired more people♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love real time. Its so satisfying 😌💕
Very helpful, thank you for posting this!
amazing video! those nail tools are gorgeous 😍

YES! You're 100% correct!
Literally love all of your videos 😍😍
On a client, how long do you typically take to prep? I feel like I'm so slow at it hahaha
I was wondering the same
Just learn at your own pace as you go ,and be mindful of your time or time yourself. Most of us are willing to wait for a good manicure :) If anyone is impatient or rude you can always deny service if they make you uncomfortable or rush your artwork.
You could say, (in this analogy) Doris & Ethel loosens & brushes the cuticle off the nail plate and Martha flosses the cuticle off. 😊
Hi! Are the orange and gray buffers different in grit?
I loved that the video was in real time looking forward to more :)
Hello Isabel may i please know, what grit is the buffer?
Hi this is my first time it is very beautiful and clean 💞🙏
Hi! I never done something like this... is it necessary for the nail to be completely dry while pushing the cuticles ? Or I could use some warm water to make them softer ? Sometimes I hear the words "dry manicure " but I don't know if it's referred to that
Either works and it depends on your preference.
You have a nice nail plate. Can I ask what is keratinised tissue ?
This was such a helpful Vid!! Thank you :) x
wow! but i dont kinda use those tools, just found ur video randomly n its worth watching!!
Q. how many days in a week do u do this..? and how is their soo much dead cells on ur cuticles!!? i think its becuz of the cream u used in the end i guess..
i was wondering if u can do a tutorial using simple n easy to go tools in ur daily life becuz using all those tools is worth but for a lazy person its damnn impossible..
This helped me a lot! Thank you so much:)
Your natural nails are lovely
Nice prep on the sidewalls🤩
Love the real time video 💓
I love your accent!!!
Love this! Really helpful 💕

I struggle with cuticle cutters. How do you make sure you don’t cut the healthy flesh when doing that!
Which is the better tool to use the Martha or or Doris
What grits did you use for the buffing
I loved This video! Thankyou .

Do you ever wash your hands before applying gel or polish?
Or would you not recommend that?
They need to be dehydrated for the product to stick. You can wash but you have yo dehydrate your nail before you apply product:)
Why grit file is your buffer? Or is a buffer universal in grit?
Are there any other brands of tools you would recommend?
So satisfying 😍😍💕
Hi love where did you get your apron from?
Where do I buy Martha?
do you find that square nails chip easier?
Eunice Molina I do! Can’t get them to last as well
Can I just use a cuticle remover
Awesome love this video sooooooo satisfying. Tfs
Love the real time videos
I would love those tools!!
What grit are the buffers?
Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh thats why that finger on my right hand has soooo much more on it!!! I thought it was just me!!!
such a helpful video!!! and martha is so satisfying 😍😍 definitely adding a lot of these tools to my “to buy eventually” list haha thank you!!!
Love this video!!
What kind of buffer are u using?
Do manicurists in the UK autoclave their instruments? I see everyone using these tools and they look incredible but for the price I don’t see buying multiple sets doable and there is no way to autoclave the tools in between each client!
I would love to know too (after seeing the price of the tools 😅) . But I guess they do. I hope they do, it's too dangerous if they don't 🤯
Yes they are very expensive
Love this real time style video 🙌🏻😊 from watching your videos I’ve ordered these tools with your discount code 🤍💫✨ p.s your work is insane!!
Hi, I might be being stupid but what are Martha and Dorris actually called so I can look for them on Amazon?
Love the real time video
Thanks for sharing this 😊🙏🏻✨
I will try this though..its a great information..new friend here.
Is that a coarse buffer you use?
Where can I buy all tools?
How long does this typically take ?
Any cheaper alternatives To these tools?😭
Thank you for doing this with your non dominant hand! Very handy! 😉💖💖
I'm just catching up on several vids and caught the one from Jan 16, 2020. I LOVE LOVE Love your nails in the video. Can you please do a tutorial????
Thank you.
Is it painful?
Does it hurt?
Hi Isabel. Fab video. Thank you. I want to order some bio files and tools. Can I order them from renew beauty if I’m not bio trained? I’ve tried emailing them with no response. I’ve even messaged on insta too 🤷🏼♀️x
I thought Martha was for toes , anywho I tried looking for Martha can’t find her
💚 the real time
😱
Yay !
Nice
Love the names. So expensive tho 💅🤔

JLambo JLambo heya lovely ahh thanks so much lovely☺️ but I think you might have slightly misunderstood I meant “pink” as in full of blood 🩸 so if you cut it it will make the skin bleed nothing to do with the actual colour of someone’s skin ❤️🥰 hopefully that makes sense 🥰
nippers gross me out, will never use them. Have gotten so many infections from them
