Cuticles are a part of your skin. They protect your nail matrix, the portion of the nail that grows, from infection. Cutting your cuticles leaves your nail matrix open to infections.
It can also cause deformities in the nail, such as ridges and discoloration. Instead of cutting your cuticles, push them back to give your nail an oval appearance. It also makes it easier to create a neat polish line.
Use a cuticle pusher to carefully push the cuticle back towards your nail bed.
Push in the sides of the cuticle as well.
Remove any dry or damaged skin.
Repeat on the rest of your nails.After exfoliating your hands, it is important to rehydrate and moisturize your soft skin. Select a thick and luxurious hand cream or lotion. Massage this cream or lotion into your hands
If left on your nails, the oils from your hand cream or lotion will shorten the life of your polish. You can remove these oils from your fingernails with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab or ball.
Place a cotton swab or ball over the opening of the rubbing alcohol bottle.
Tip the bottle upside down and wait a moment for the cotton swab or ball to become saturated with the rubbing alcohol. Place the bottom of the bottle on a flat surface.
Swipe the rubbing alcohol saturated cotton swab or ball over your nails to remove the oil.
Repeat as needed
