Now you need to carefully cut it off with manicure tongs, start from the sides, shifting to the middle. For girls whose cuticle is barely noticeable, it is better not to touch it. The pedicure will not look worse from this.

Cut the free edge with nail scissors, adhere to the optimal length of 1.5-2 mm. Otherwise, the edges will grow into the skin, which will lead to painful sensations. If your nails are too stiff, hold them for 5 minutes in hot water, then dry well. Now take your regular hard file and file the edges, moving from the center to the edges. Give your thumb a straight shape, the rest - rounded.
