Soaking Nails Before Manicures

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm here with Reyna, I'm Theresa, and I'm going to show you how to soak your nails and get ready for the manicure. What I have here is the simple bowl, a glass bowl, put some water in it. You want to put warm water in this bowl, that way it can help soften up the cuticles. Another little trick I have or I've heard is to put a little bit of dishwasher liquid in the water. Just a tiny little - just a little tiny drop like that. Start around and have your friend, your sister, whatever, or you, soak your hands in the water. You want to go ahead and soak them for a good two to three minutes, that way they can soften up the cuticle. Go ahead and let it soak for about two to three minutes. Take it out, have her set her hand down, and have her soak the other one in the water. And now you can start prepping for the cuticle remover. But being that the water is nice and warm, this definitely takes off all the dirt underneath, it loosens it all up, the cuticles, it makes them nice and soft, that way when you want to push them back, it'll be very easy to when it comes time to. Make sure you have warm water and the dishwater liquid definitely does help soften up those cuticles and whiten and brighten your nail plate. Okay, very good Reyna, go ahead and take it out. I'll move this to the side 'cause I will need it later."
