LIVE LIFE CHIC
Because our cuticles tend to get dry and rough, its common to clip them to keep them in check. But this just perpetuates the cycle. When you clip them, they grow back even more jagged. It never fails, when I leave the salon they look great, but two days later they are amuck with hang nails and rough edges. So I started instructing my manicurist to push them back without clipping them. Then I come to find out, its actually healthier that way.

I actually push mine back all the time. It’s kind of how I fidget. My nails are super thick, so biting them isn’t an option. Instead I use my nail to push back my cuticles. The manicurist is always surprised that they really don’t have anything to try to clip when I come in. Who knew fidgeting could be healthy for my nails? 🙂
