Too many reels and videos on social media show nail professionals giving a little tug when they use nail nippers.
¡¡¡No hagas esto!!!
Puede tirar de la piel, desgarrarla y, a menudo, hacerla sangrar y dejarla hecha jirones.
La forma correcta de utilizar las tenazas es colocar las cuchillas alrededor de la piel que se va a cortar, apretarlas, soltarlas y alejarse.
De este modo, el corte será preciso y no tirará de la piel ni la desgarrará.
Above all, do not cut the living skin of the proximal nail fold but only the dead removed skin that is the cuticle that is still attached.
The tiny scissors that are now readily available, straight or curved, are more accurate but NOT for using to cut off the band of clear skin at the base of the nail! ONLY cuticle!
