Trimming and Filing Procedure

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
a. handle manicuring tools properly
b. perform the step by step procedures in trimming and filing finger and
toenails
c. observe safety measures when filing and trimming finger and toe nails

Introduction:
Fingernails’ getting a little long and it/they is/are too hard to type? Or
did you just poke a hole in your partner with that dagger cleverly disguised
as your big toenail? Time for a little personal grooming! Cutting your
fingernails and toenails is easy, and it's the right thing to do, and this
information sheet will show you how.
1. Prepare your nails. Soak your nails for a few minutes before you cut them, as
this softens them up and makes them easier to trim. This will also help avoid
splitting your nails. This step is especially important for toenails. Those can be
pretty tough.
2. Cut your nails. Cut them straight across until they no longer extend over your
finger or toe, so that they don't show any white. If you are a finger-style guitarist,
you may want to leave about 1/16th inch (1.5 to 2 mm) on your picking hand—
usually the right hand
3. Wait for your nails to dry. Wait for a little bit until your nails are dry
and are no longer soft. Filing wet nails will leave you with jagged, rough
nails when they dry, and may also cause your nails to split and crack.

4. File your nails. Use a nail file to shape your nails, and to make sure the
edges of the nail are smooth. Jagged nails can catch on clothes, socks, and
pantyhose and will cause nails to tear or break. When filing, always file
gently in one long stroke, from the side to the center of the nail. Use the
coarse, shaping side first if you need to remove more nail. Then use the
finer-grade shaping side to smooth your nails out. Your nails should be
slightly triangle or oval and not pointed, when finished. This will keep them
from breaking. Nails can weaken if you file too low into the corners and
sides too

Look them over. Look your nails over to ensure that your nails are all the
same length and shape, and also that they're smooth and not jagged or
pointy. Keep clipping and filing until they all look the same and are smooth.
Once they are, you're done!

Proper Handling and Usage of Tools

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. identify the most commonly used tools in performing manicure
and pedicure
2. demonstrate the proper way of handling the cuticle pusher
3. observe safety precautions when pushing dry cuticle.
Introduction:
A cuticle pusher is a simple nail tool used to perform manicures and
pedicures. It pushes the skin from your cuticles back and away from your
nails to help your nails grow stronger. Here's information on how to safely
use a cuticle pusher.

1.Decide whether to get a cuticle pusher made of steel or wood. Steel

cuticle pushers are best for tough, hard cuticles. Wooden cuticle pushers
are best for soft cuticles.

2.Pick which tip you want your cuticle pusher to have.Some have blunt
rounded ends, others have sharp pointy ends or spoon-shaped ends and yet
others are curved. The most common one has a rounded tip on one end and
a sharp tip on the other.
3.Prepare Your Nails
For best results, soften the nails and cuticles before using the
cuticle pusher.
This is a necessary step to make pushing the cuticles away from the nails
easier. If the cuticles are not soft and you try to push them, you might tear
the skin, causing painful lesions.
4.Apply cuticle remover on the nail.
You can also use cuticle oil together with the cuticle remover. Make
sure to spread it evenly all over the edges. Leave it for 2 minutes.
Submerge the fingers in a small bowl of warm water and soak them for
about 3 minutes. This will help soften the cuticles even more
Use a small towel to gently dry your fingernail.
5.Push Back the Cuticles
Use the rounded part of the cuticle pusher to push back the cuticles
on the surface of the nail. Angle the pusher 35 to 45 degrees and gently
slide it towards the base of the nail and push away the softened cuticles.

Shapes and Styles of Nail

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to:
1. identify the different shape and styles of nails
2. discuss the best style for the desired shape of nails
3. demonstrate the proper way to achieve the desired shape of nails.

Introduction:
There three most common nail shapes are: square, squoval and
oval. Let's take a look at each of these shapes and how you can achieve
them.

Square
The square nail shape is one of the strongest nail shapes you can have
because the full width of the nail remains at the free edge. However, this
shape isn't usually flattering on shorter nails as it can make hands look
blunt and heavy; the square shape is best used to draw attention to longer
nails.To create this shape: hold your nail file at a 90° angle perpendicular to
the finger and file straight across in one direction.

Squoval
The squoval nail shape is the generally the most popular nail shape, as well
as the most universally flattering shape. The nail is still able to maintain
most of its natural strength but the corners are slightly rounded for a softer,
more feminine appearance.
To create this shape: first start by following the directions for creating the
square shape. Once you're satisfied, you'll want to hold your file at a 65°
angle and carefully round the corners. As you move your file from the corner
to the middle of your nail, work your file from the 65° angle to a 90° angle.
Oval/Rounded
This is a more traditional nail shape but it's still very popular. The tip is
rounded instead of squared but the sides of the free edge are able to grow
straight, which maintains the strength and structure of the nail.
To create this shape: allow the sides of your nails to grow straight but hold
your file at approximately a 40° angle and round only the tip of the free
edge.
If you're not sure which shape is right for you or which will be the most
flattering, here's a tip: take a look at the shape of your cuticles. If they're

rounded, a round nail shape will be flattering for you. And vice versa, if your
cuticles are more squared, then the square or squoval shape will be
flattering for you. Of course, you can choose to have whichever nail shape
you prefer; this tip will just help you make a decision if you're not sure
which shape to opt for!
That ends our discussion of three of the most common nail shapes you can
have and how you can achieve them. There are a couple of other nail shapes
that you can have, but most opt for one of the above shapes

water.

 Change the bandage daily. If signs of infection develop --
such as pus, redness, or heat around the nail or a red
streak extending from the wound -- call a health care
provider promptly.
 The person may need a tetanus shot or booster, depending
on the date of last booster shot.

provider will determine if there is a fracture or if tissue
under the nail needs repair and may remove the nail to
make the repair. The health care provider may make a hole
in the nail to drain blood and give a tetanus shot if needed.
