"Hi, I am here with Reyna again and we are showing you the use of the cuticle nippers. After you've soaked your nails and put the cuticle remover on there and you pushed your cuticles back. What is the next step? The next step would be to get your cuticle nippers and them off. Being that Reyna gets a manicure often. Her aren't that bad. So it is not necessary to use the nippers every time you have a manicure. If you go in between manicures. You can do this at home by yourself. If your cuticles are really bad. You want to get the nippers and be very careful because they are very sharp. And you don't want to get the skin and pull it. You simply want to hold the nipper down against the cuticle and snip. Simply hold the cuticle nipper down next to the cuticle and snip. Some people want to get it and pull it and pull it and that is just going to mess up your nails and make it worse. So if you don't need to use the nippers then don't. But if you do and you haven't had a manicure in a long time it's great to use this once in a while. Like I said just go around the cuticles and just snip. Put down towards the cuticle and cut. Right there and snip and snip and snip do not pull. There you go just clip, clip, clip. This is a great tool to use. If you have hang nails that are down here by your skin. You don't want to pull them. You don't want to make it worse. Just get this and snip it off. These are very sharp. This is a great tool to have. Again you don't need to use this every time you give yourself a manicure. Just when you have it necessary. These are your cuticle nippers."
