Hi everybody Today I'm going back to basics and prepping a nail. I'm at NABDA in Scotland today too. I don't always push back the cuticle unless the cuticle is really long and dry because the file with push it back. I start in the middle, pointing to 1 o clock and file away the dead tissue and push back the cuticle a bit. I also come down the side walls on both sides of the nail. I switch the rotation for the other side of the nail so the bit always pushes the skin away from the nail, also point at 11 o clock for this direction. I'm then going to change to a ball bit to exfoliate the excess skin away. If there is too much to exfoliate but if this doesn't work, it can be cut. I then lightly remove the shine and free edge with a 180 grit file and then clean off with gel residue wipe off solution

Great, I've noticed few tech I've spoken to had not realise that with push the cuticle back like you've done with wipe it gives us that little bit more room to play as cuticle with come back down over 24hrs coming close up to the enhancement. I even go back in with orange wood stick on next hand before I start just to make sure I've got it pushed right back, it Shane we can't take pictures the next day of our work when cuticles have dropped back. Doing my nails for 20yrs how much things have change I was always told don't see saw too. It's getting the right teacher/eduction that is the key to great lasting nails

A friend recently asked me to go with her when she got acrylics. She said her extensions only lasted a couple weeks at most and wanted to see if I could find anything wrong with the application. For starters, her nail tech didn't clean the dust off after removing the surface shine She just put the primer straight on top of the dusty nails and then the acrylic. I have to imagine she was depositing a bit of skin and nail dust back into the bottle, too. I am going to show her this video. Even if techs have different ways of prepping the nails it seems like certain things would be the same.

I learned to do my own nails watching your videos and I thank you very much Recently I was a hand model and they were teaching to put a nail form for a long almond by lining the tip with the centre of the cuticle area rather than lining up the extension with the side walls. They still make an apex but the overall nail ends up being flatter. Is that wrong or is it a different way of sculpting a nail?

I was wondering if its possible to prep a really wobbly nail? Like bumpy. I know some people have bumps on their nail, natural or because of injury. And how you would do it? And I have seen people with cuticle down half the nails would be fun to see how you prep a really difficult nailLove your videos

Wow, Kirsty, you're very tan For your skin's sake I really hope it's spray tan. Thanks for doing this video. Every time I think I've finally got prep down pat I learn that I'm still not that good. It could be because I'm my only client, so I don't do new sets very often.

Can you tell us more about adding tips. Reason why I ask because our fingers arent straight so how do you kinda put the tip to the finger bedding to make it look straight or do we just place the tip to the finger bed how the person nails are positioned?

Thank you for teaching me that there is a Forward and backward switch on the drill. I'm slowly teaching myself nails and always wondered why the drill was working against me So helpful

My nail tech did this process on me and I found the alcohol wipe and acrylic application afterwards made the cuticle areas sting and burn - Is that a fairly normal part of the process?
