What to do with cuts on nails
I saw through the nail plate - one of the most unpleasant situations that occur during manicure. Sawed plates not only look ugly, but also hurt, can cause infection, inflammation and other complications. Of course, contacting a professional nail service specialist significantly reduces the risk of getting a cut, but it is impossible to completely protect yourself from such a situation.
Cuts on nails - what is it ? When removing the coating from the surface of the nails with a cutter or when processing the nail plates with this tool, an unintentional inaccurate movement can be made, which will severely damage the nail plate in the growth zone. The error leads either to too much removal of the nail area, or to complete cutting of the nail plate in the affected area. If the damage is severe, seek medical attention immediately.
What do cuts lead to? If the damage was strong, in the future the nail plate may grow already damaged, the nail cracks at the point of growth. With slight cuts, irregularities and bruises appear, which, with the growth of the nail, are displayed higher and higher along the nail plate. After complete regrowth of the nail, the damaged part will be cut off, and the aesthetics will be restored. But this will take a long time.
HOW TO AVOID CUTS IN YOUR NAILS
The following actions will help to significantly reduce the risk of cuts:
- the correct selection of manicure tools;
- the correct position of the hands of the master during manipulations;
- using a hand file on dangerous areas of the nail plate.
Choose a ceramic corn cutter - this bit is ideal for safe nail polishing and nail polishing. Do not make sudden movements when working with the cutter, avoid strong pressure on the surface of the nail during processing, remove the varnish with light strokes.
WHAT TO DO IF THE NAIL PLATE IS HEAVILY CUT
If you sawed off the nail plate - what should you do first? The most severe cut is with damage to the matrix. In this case, be sure to consult a doctor. If the matrix was not damaged, but the cut is still deep, the nail is leveled with biogel or acrylic. Not in all cases the nail bed is completely restored - bumps and grooves may remain in this zone.
Cuts on nails - how to treat the problem?
Small cuts in depth are leveled with a polishing buff. The varnish will fit perfectly on such a surface and the consequences of cutting should not occur. The cuts near the nail growth zone, which have a great depth, must be leveled with biogel, rubber, base. If this is not done, the nails will hurt, become sensitive to temperature changes, and the appearance of the manicure decorated with tubercles is unlikely to please you.
How to treat a nail cut ? During the recovery period, do not load your nails, try to exclude exposure to aggressive substances. Wear gloves if planning to do housework.

How to avoid gaps
Contact professional nail artists who work with quality tools and have experience and skills in nail processing. If you carry out the manicure procedure yourself, pay attention to the selection of tools. Diamond or silicone carbide cutters are the best choice. The hardness marker is yellow or white.
Use a cuticle remover to soften the cuticle before cutting and peeling off any remaining pterygium. Try not to make unnecessary movements with the cutter, work clearly and carefully. Do not process one area with the tool more than 2-3 times.
The nozzle should be in the correct position in relation to the nail plate. It depends on the shape of the cutter - adjust the position so that the tool is completely in contact with the nail.
If processing with a milling cutter was carried out and varnish remained in hard-to-reach places, remove it with a regular file. This solution will avoid cuts and protect the nails from damage.
