Mistakes to Avoid in Manicure
1. Cutting Your Cuticles
No matter how many times you have read or heard it, this is probably one of the most common manicure mistakes that majority of people make. While it may seem like a quick fix, this can lead to potential infections because cuticles protect the nail and its surrounding skin. Therefore, instead of cutting, push or trim the excess cuticles or hangnails to keep infection at bay. Use Vega Cuticle Nipper, a super sturdy and ultra-sharp manicure tool to smoothly and precisely trim hangnails and cuticles. It has extra sharp blades with a comfortable grip for precise results. Use a cuticle oil or moisturizer to nourish your nails and cuticles once you are done trimming.
2. Going too Short While Trimming Nails
While cutting your fingernails or toenails, ensure you don’t cut the nails too close to the edges with nail cutter because it increases the potential risk of ingrown nails and can be hurtful as well. Follow the symmetry of your nails using Vega Nail Clipper (Large) featuring curved blades for precise trimming. It has a chrome-plate finish to prevent rusting and ergonomic design for comfortable hold and use. It comes in a subtle black color which also makes it a great addition to your manicure set. Finish it off by using Vega Nail Filer to smoothen the rough edges. Ensure to cut almost straight across the nail.
3. Filing Nails Back and Forth
The tips of your nails are brittle, so you need to file your nails in the same direction otherwise the chances of nail breakage are possible. To do this with ease, grab Vega Nail File with Trimmer . It is a two-sided nickel plated surfaced nail filer with a nail filer at one end and the other end comes with a cuticle trimmer.

4. Soaking Nails in Water
Soaking nails in water is an essential part of manicure and pedicure. But overdoing this step while giving yourself a mani-pedi can have adverse effects. Too much soaking time causes the nails to become too brittle, which can make your manicure-pedicure experience unpleasant. It does not give the desired results as well.
