E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skill # 2.
The teacher will demonstrate on how to use properly the nail care tools and
Equipment that are commonly used in nail care.

Teacher Students
Class, choose or look for a partner
because later on you will practice on
how to use properly the nail care tools
that are commonly used in nail care .

Now that you have chosen your

partner I will show you on how to use
properly some of the nail care tools
that are commonly use in nail care
which are the nail file, cuticle nail
pusher, cuticle nipper, nail cutter, and
nail brush and the safety procedures
to be observe while using it. Come to
the front watch me and listen to me.

Class, before handling or using the

nail care tools and equipment make
sure that you wash your hands
thoroughly with soap or sanitize the
hands by applying alcohol or sanitizer
because it can reduce the risk of
spreading germs or bacteria.

Nail pusher, it is held in the same

manner as in writing with a pencil. The
dull spade side is used to push back
and loosen the cuticles. Keep cuticle
moist using cuticle remover while
working. Use the cuticle pusher in a
flat position to remove dead cuticle
adhering to the nail without scratching
the nail plate. In using the pusher,
avoid too much pressure to prevent
injury on tissues.

Nail cutter, hold clippers with cutting

edges downward between thumb,
index and middle finger. Press clipper
handles by squeezing them together
and removes excess nail length. Be
gentle in pressing down the nail cutter
because you may injure yourself or
damage the nail.

Nail file, hold the file firmly in the right

or left hand (as the case may be), with
the thumb underneath it for support
and the other four fingers on its upper
surface. Place the file slightly under
 the free edge and file the nail from
corner to center, shaping the nail.
Never file back and forth; this would
cause the nails to crack and split. Do
not file deep into the corners; this
weakens the nails, hurt the skin and
cause ingrown nails.

Cuticle nipper, pick up the cuticle

nipper by the handles and turns the
cutting edges towards you; place the
bent tip of the index finger over
the top of the shank. Place the thumb
on the side of the handle and the
remaining fingers over the opposite
handle. Use it with utmost care to
remove dead cuticle and hangnails so
as not to injure live tissues.

Nail brush, insert the ring finger and

pinky in the nail brush handle and
brush the nails with a downward
motion from the base to the fingertips
to clean the nails and fingers.

Hand and Foot Spa Machine,

make sure that electrical wirings are
dry and protected from accidental
water spillage. Set the machine to the
temperature that the client can
withstand.
