Mini lesson: Working with challenging cuticles

Full process demonstration using the One Bit Technique

Working With a Difficult Cuticle Lesson

About This Lesson

This focused mini lesson is dedicated to one specific and common case — challenging cuticles that require a delicate, controlled, and thoughtful approach.

Inside the lesson, I demonstrate the entire working process step by step, showing how to handle complex cuticles without changing techniques and without switching multiple bits.

In this lesson, you'll learn:

How to open the proximal pocket

  • When there are micro-injuries on the proximal fold
  • When the cuticle is tightly adhered to the nail plate and its border is difficult to see

Flame bit technique in detail

  • Nuances of working with dense, stuck cuticle
  • How to safely work around hangnails
  • How to avoid over-thinning or damaging the skin

Cuticle cutting with nippers

  • A clean, delicate cut without trauma
  • How to finish the work safely on sensitive skin

Note: This lesson is designed for nail techs who already have experience with e-file manicure and want to simplify their workflow, increase control, and confidently work with challenging cuticles. If you're a beginner, I recommend starting with the Russian Manicure: 1 Bit Technique course instead.
