Sorry to get an old thread up and running again.......
Up until recently I have only used Cuticle eraser during my prep. (this was what was encouraged during my training). I then switched to cuticle remover which has left me shocked at the results! I have been removing cuticle sometimes half way down the nail plate! No wonder I had some lifting on some clients.
All of the cuticle that was removed, I couldn't see. It was only when I used my tools starting lightly near the free edge, moving down towards the cuticle etc that I felt a slight ridge, then if I pressed a bit firmer the whole thing would shift and either break away or remain attached, thus having to use my cuticle nippers to completely get rid of it.
So I have a question!.....Was this in fact cuticle?!?! I just want to make sure as I couldn't believe how far down the nail plate it was!
This took quite a long time to perform, 30 mins on one client! I am so worried that this is going to extend my prep time. Clearly it needs to be done, but I'm wondering if after the initial removal by cuticle remove,l is it a good idea to alternate with the cuticle eraser? I can't imagine that the cuticle would grown down that far again but it seems clear now that I'll have to extend my times for a first Full Set!
Thanks for your help Geeks.
