@Yana Firman I’m switching products from acrylic to gel for my clients.

@Yana Firman it’s a learning curve since I’ve always done acrylic. I need all the help lol. But overall it’s a fantastic product.
✨Cuticle Area Damage — What These Lines Really Mean✨
I want to show you something many nail techs completely overlook — those curved lines and grooves near the cuticle that appear after removal or when the product grows out. This is not dryness. Not “your client’s nail type.” Not product issues. Most of the time, this is damage caused by incorrect e-file work in the cuticle area. 🔍Why does this happen? These little grooves appear when: - the pressure with the bit is too strong - the angle is wrong - the bit goes too deep under the cuticle - you stay in one spot for too long - the cuticle area is overworked because you’re chasing “perfect clean” instead of using proper technique This zone is extremely thin and sensitive — so even a tiny mistake shows up weeks later. ❗How to recognize cuticle area damage? - the lines follow the natural curve of the cuticle - the marks are only in the upper part of the nail - after removal they look even brighter/whiter - the nail may feel slightly sensitive when pressed If you see this — it’s technique, not anatomy. 💛Why it matters Damage in this area can cause: - lifting from the cuticle - weaker adhesion - sensitivity - long-term thinning of the nail plate - “mysterious” lifting that techs often blame on products 🌿What’s next? I’ll create a full lesson soon on how to work the cuticle area without pressure, without grooves, and without damaging the nail plate — step by step, with simple explanations. ✨Comment below Have you ever seen lines like these on your clients or on yourself? If you want, you can also add photos — I’ll look at them and help you understand what exactly caused the damage and what you need to adjust in your technique. We’re here to grow together and create clean, safe prep 🤍

I have seen this on myself. Due to salon work, not my own.

@Yana Firman it’s so easy to do unless you really focus. It’s muscle memory really. I tend to be guilty myself when doing my own nails. The left side for me just doesn’t work with my hand lol. It’s much easier with clients since they sit straight in front of you.

So I’m not sure what to do about this shaping, one side is ok but the left has this round bubble section, Any tips

Could you be possibly curving your file when filing that side? Make sure to keep the file completely straight with the sidewall. I’m assuming you are filing your own nails?
Do you prefer French or something more creative? 😏
Okay… everyone who guessed French 🤭 you were right. I just love French nails so much 🤍 they match literally everything. Even with a gym outfit they still look clean, elegant and put together. That’s why I always come back to it.
