Can I just say thank you... I’ve always been insecure about my feet. I tried to shape my nails but I didn’t realize I left my toenails to long. I thought I had ugly toes. It’s such a simple task but makes a world a difference. I discovered my nails flair out giving that undesirable grown out shape and after following your tutorials I love the look. Self maintenance is so important. Thank you from someone who didn’t grow up with girls😭

The proximal nail fold is not support cut off. It protect you nails. If you go to a nail salon and they do that; you might get fungi

Summer pedicures are the best. As much as I like to take my time to pamper myself, I haven't made the time for me. I decided to outsource this service to a nail salon. I got a jelly pedi past month, so it's about time for another. Can't wait😁😁😁

I’ve never had a pedicure, and never really learned how to use the pedicure kits. I’ve been self conscious about my feet since I was a kid, my birth mother would make negative comments about my feet since I was around 5-6yo, she would say things like my toe nails look like spoons and how I could eat with them. I never understood what she meant but knew it wasn’t good. She made other jokes at my expense and never taught me how to care for my feet or nails. I would hide my feet because I felt embarrassed. It wasn’t until I was in foster care that I got my size checked and found I was wearing the wrong size (2 sizes too small). My husband knows I’m self conscious about my feet and when he gives me foot rubs I tend to pull away because I’m afraid or ashamed he’ll say something negative. Now that I have kids and go to the water parks and play with them I want to feel more confident. I want to teach my little girls and make it fun, they love getting their nails painted especially in the summer. I’m glad I found your video and can’t wait to see the next video!

You did such a great job! Those nippers look gentle. They didn't look sharp. I am about to graduate from nail tech but have not been able to master using nippers. A big part is the fear I have of cutting someone. How did you manage the nippers when you got to the inner corners of the cuticles without cutting?

@abetweene

thanks! for the corners i use mostly the tip of blade since the jaw is on the wider side. It also helps to hold the lateral folds taut to expose more of the side walls. For really deep nail folds and corners, a smaller jaw (1/4”) is more ideal imo

Жыл бұрын

Do you wear closed toe shoes a lot? If you naturally have more pigmented skin it’s not uncommon for brown skin to be more pigmented around the knuckles, knees, and elbows. Added stress can also cause hyperpigmentation though, so if theres a lot of friction from the inside of your shoes repeatedly rubbing against your skin, that can be a cause. In that case, changing to wearing more opened toe shoes and/or providing more cushion can help along with exfoliation. I prefer chemical exfoliators like Glycolic and lactic acid.

I wouldn’t advise to cut the sides of the nails so short. Ideally you want them to be longer and growing straight forward to avoid in growing toenails which happens easily when cut too short or shaped. Cuticle should never be cut off! This is there for protection and your body will regenerate more thinking that’s what you need, until it dies. I’m a beauty therapist and just trying to help 🙏💕
