00:00This length is just a nightmare. How could you let yourself get to this point?
00:04And most likely that's the first thing that comes to mind when you see such a scary house.
00:10And yes, scary is my husband Anton's nail. I think everyone already knows it.
00:15And that's what happens when you're moving, when you have a tight schedule.
00:18You have to run around here and there. There's a lot of work.
00:22Eventually you come to your senses and your nails are tapping on the floor as you walk.
00:27So we're going to clean everything up. First, let's take the nail clippers.
00:32By the way, I use clippers from Texnip. I'll also show a picture of them here on the side.
00:37And this is a cool model that I recommend getting for home use.
00:41They're just so convenient. I always have these at home.
00:44And now let's move on to the main character of our video.
00:47This is a liquid blade from... It's a really cool thing that softens, moisturizes and basically removes dust.
00:55It's a gentle keratolytic with multiple functions. That's sufficient.
01:00But the first thing we're going to do with it today is remove, excuse me, the gunk from under our
01:06nails.
01:07You know, nail buildup accumulates. Anton always has a lot of it, all the time.
01:11He has a slightly unusual nail bed shape on his thumb.
01:15And when his nails grow out, there are just unbelievable deposits in those corners, in my opinion.
01:23But let's take a closer look. By the way, sometimes there are also socks in there.
01:27Anything can happen there. But honestly, when I saw what was on his feet, I told him not to cut
01:32them himself.
01:34Let's do a pedicure to show that this can happen and you don't necessarily have to be homeless or something
01:39like that, as everyone thinks.
01:41But it's just a normal human condition when something accumulates under your nails as they grow.
01:47And all of this needs to be taken care of. And it's not that easy. It's actually hard to deal
01:52with.
01:52If you have a few necessary tools, like a curette for example, I just can't live without it.
01:58I think a pedicure is impossible without a curette.
02:01I just don't see the possibility of picking at it with a pusher or an orange stick.
02:05It's extremely inconvenient. But a curette with a soft edge is exactly what you need.
02:10Basically, we clean everything out from under the nails and I guess it's already really noticeable.
02:16It's unclear what's on the nails, whether it's some kind of coating, peeling or splitting.
02:21And honestly, when I saw them, I thought, wow, what happened to my nails? When did I miss this?
02:28Then I remembered that during my last pedicure, we used the matte polish.
02:33And of course, we didn't remove it. So that's how the polish wore off after I think about two months.
02:38We didn't cut these nails for a long time. There's nothing terrible here, just old matte nail polish.
02:44And what you're seeing now is rocking or let's say a bit of pulling on this excess skin.
02:50This is done with tweezers, but I want to say that it's only done by professionals, so I don't recommend
02:56pulling anything out yourself.
02:57You can make a hole. I'll make a hole here today too, just like always.
03:02If I'm doing Anton's pedicure, there will definitely be a hole left in it.
03:06Well, I also had tweezers from there. And the special thing about pathological tweezers is that on the inside, on
03:13the part that holds, they have little teeth.
03:16It's a cool thing. Now let's move on to working directly with the cuticle itself.
03:22Here I will use a safe bit from the brand Biotech. This is Magic Beads.
03:27It's a cool bit that is actually made of carbide, like the ones used for removal, but at the same
03:33time it has completely blunt edges.
03:36And it might seem like a completely useless thing, but actually it's very useful in pedicures and in manicures too.
03:43Basically anywhere it's hard to open up the pocket, this safe bit will solve those problems.
03:48And next is the drop bit, but not the pedicure one, the manicure one.
03:51I've already shown the pinky with this bit, and now I'm showing the thumb.
03:55By the way, I'm showing them in separate videos, because otherwise it would be too long.
04:00And here we have a little surprise.
04:02The thing is, the nail fold rubs against the side wall of the nail.
04:07And naturally, besides all sorts of things accumulating there, there's also a small thickening that looks like a callus.
04:14So I opened it up with the drill, and as they say, I don't mind doing this to my husband,
04:19and of course I made a small hole in it that shouldn't be there.
04:23But I don't hide my mistakes. Here, I'm showing it to you completely openly.
04:27That happens, but I have a request. If it does, please treat the wound, okay?
04:33Rinse it with hydrogen peroxide, then go over it again.
04:36Either use number 4 or capramine, just take any remedy that stops bleeding.
04:41It's not critical. By the way, it's been about a week and a half since I recorded this video.
04:48Anton is fine, he's okay, his finger didn't fall off, he'll definitely live.
04:52So I think it's absolutely not fatal.
04:55I'm also showing how I treat two more fingers, because the long side walls of the nails rubbed all the
05:01skin.
05:02You see, there are these unpleasant grooves that definitely need to be cleaned out, because they cause discomfort.
05:09Also, one of the highlights today is polishing the nail plate using a diamond bit.
05:15If the diamond bit has a smooth, let's say, cheek-like surface...
05:19Well, anyway, this smooth part that I used to go over the nail, you can easily use it to prepare
05:25the nails for coating or just to polish them.
05:28In my case, I'm removing the remaining nail polish.
05:31Because honestly, I just didn't want to go get acetone, I didn't have it on hand, so I managed with
05:37what I had.
05:39Next, using liquid blade, which honestly looks just like magic, I remove all the dust.
05:44By the way, that's one of its functions.
05:46And after the dust is removed, you can immediately see where you need to trim.
05:51I use nippers to remove the cuticle.
05:54Well, of course, you can't really expect a perfectly smooth cut here.
05:58By the way, I never managed to get a really perfect pedicure on Anton.
06:03I think the problem is that I always try to do better than I need to.
06:07As they say, the best is the enemy of the good.
06:10By the way, the hole is already shining right at us in the frame.
06:14Well, okay, let's pretend we don't see it right now, because I'm about to start sanding.
06:19I took a silicon carbide polisher, it's also from Biotech.
06:23And if the tip of your polisher seems too sharp to you, you can easily smooth it out with a
06:29nail file.
06:30And it will become rounded.
06:32And I'm also using molecular oil right now.
06:35This is one of the options for polishing.
06:38Basically, you can use any oil, but in pedicures we most often use this one.
06:43It's perfect for polishing heels.
06:46You can polish nails, cuticles, basically any part of the feet and hands that you want to smooth out.
06:53Honestly, I don't do it often.
06:55They don't usually use this exact method, but since we weren't planning to apply any coating here,
07:00I decided to polish it this way.
07:02After the polishing is finished, you need to use a napkin to remove the excess oil.
07:07Well, just so there isn't an oily toe, which would simply be unpleasant,
07:12and basically our pedicure is done at this point.
07:15At the end, use an antiseptic, and here we have such beautiful feet.
07:20Don't pay attention to the hole.
07:21Do you remember? Yeah, well, it happens to everyone. It happened to me too.
07:24By the way, write in the comments if anyone else doesn't take care of their husbands.
07:27.
