1️⃣ Push Cuticles Really scooch them back, especially the corners, so the cuticle lifts off the nail plate and makes a clean wall. 2️⃣ Push the Wall No explanation needed – the most satisfying part, lol. 3️⃣ Clip the Cuticles This is where I spend the most time, snipping every bit of dead skin, hangnails, and calluses. When this step is on point, you barely need any wet “buffing” – I do it dry 99 % of the time. 4️⃣ Clean the Pocket Makes the pocket pop and scrubs out any leftover grime from steps 1 & 2. ⏰ With shaping and light buffing, total time is around 40–60 minutes. #NailCare #NailCareGuide #NailMagic
