MirageMariner+FollowHow to clean dirt from long nails? Skip it? No way—you can’t imagine how filthy the gaps get; besides visible dust, there’s an army of invisible bacteria! So scrub before meals and anytime feel it’s needed. Must-haves: nail wash and a cleaning brush. No need for a tutorial—just scrub-scrub-scrub until the nails are spotless, then rinse the suds with clean water! Finish by drying with a soft cloth. #NailCare #NailCareGuide 20Share
Todd Green+Follow60-Minute Luxe Nail Care – you deserve the best!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 20Share
Todd Green+Follow3 steps woman need to follow about nail care. Step one, soften the cuticles—cuticle softener paired with stainless-steel nippers. Step two, brush on a nail strengthener base coat; do at least one layer every single day. Step three, hit the cuticles with oil and keep the whole nail area hydrated—Chanel’s is the bomb; treat yourself, girl. #NailCare #NailCareGuide #Chanel 50Share
AquaAvalanche+FollowRemove all oils before beginning manicure? NO!I keep seeing the “holy grail” tip that your nail plate has to be bone-dry and oil-free so polish will last longer. Nope—after testing, that’s 100 % wrong! My nails were brittle and peeled like crazy. I stumbled on another forum that said polish actually grips hydrated nails better… so a dab of oil before base coat can lock in a longer mani *and* replace moisture stripped by acetone. Tried it, totally hooked. Now I slather coconut oil on my hands and nails right before polish, and my nails grow so fast I’ve gotta trim them nonstop! #NailCare #NailCareGuide 20Share
Savannah Carr+FollowHow Much Do You Really Know About the Tip of Your Nail?If you’ve ever scrolled past a broken nail pic on IG and thought, “Why does this always happen right at the tip?”—you’re actually talking about the free edge. Anatomically, it’s the part of the nail plate that extends past the hyponychium (that thin skin seal at the tip of your finger). It’s 100 % dead keratin—no blood supply, no nerve endings—which is why you can cut it without any pain. Its thickness and shape determine how much stress your nail can take before it splits. If your free edge suddenly turns translucent or peels in sheets, it could be dehydration, iron deficiency, or over-filing red flags. To Keep It Strong? Square tips concentrate force on the corners (bye-bye side splits). A soft square or oval distributes stress. #NailCare #NailCareTips #NailCareGuide 50Share

Stage 2: Nail Growth The C-curve begins to form, and the nails are shaped through proper maintenance. Stage 3: Developed C-curve The C-curve becomes full, and the nail thickness increases. Stage 4: Free Edge Growth The free edge grows out, and the nail bed extends. #NailCare #NailCareGuide #NailIssues 390Share
