00:00hello hello it's elena with you and i suggest you get comfortable because today we have a very long
00:06video almost 30 minutes and yes these are the very nails that were after the burn my viral video that
00:13got an insane number of views this is what the nails look like almost three about three to five
00:20weeks after our first cleaning these are the nails she came in with i think the result is very good
00:25notice that part of the nail plate already looks quite healthy the part near the cuticle yes of course
00:33there are still some after effects on two or three nails this is severe keratosis ruptured capillaries
00:40and nail deformation all of this is still present for now but we are on the right track and i
00:46know
00:46for sure that we will manage i would also like to remind you how it looked the first time these
00:52were
00:52the nails that came to me on top everything was covered with gel polish but underneath
00:57it was a real mess of course i'll leave a link to the first video up here so you can
01:02watch the
01:03backstory because obviously i won't be showing all of that here how we cleaned everything up is shown
01:09in great detail in the first video now let's get back to our work by the way this is how
01:14the nails
01:14looked after the first cleaning procedure and next i'll be showing everything in real time without any
01:21speed ups exactly what i did with her meaning how i do these kinds of cleanings i admit i haven't
01:27had
01:28cases like this before meaning this is quite a severe and difficult case in terms of the amount of damage
01:35to the nail plate and i didn't cut anything out here well except for the moments when i might have
01:40stepped
01:41away for a bit besides that i recorded the whole process for you to watch and by the way in
01:47the first
01:47video you asked why i didn't give her a manicure meaning why i didn't clean up her cuticles or push
01:53them back and i explained to everyone that i didn't see any point in doing that so the goal was
02:00just to
02:00remove as much of the affected part as possible and then let it recover and grow out with this manicure
02:07we cleaned removed the patrygium lifted and cut the cuticle and took off everything possible and i start
02:14my work with the carbide bit i took one with a blue notch it's ribbed and looks pretty scary when
02:20it's
02:20off not your usual corn shaped bit this one is really tough and removes a lot at once in chunks
02:26and i work on the nail on the natural nail well what's left of it at this stage and it's
02:33not painful
02:34for the client and of course i check with my finger you can see i'm constantly touching checking the
02:39temperature making sure it doesn't burn her naturally i also asked her about that because
02:44my goal is to make the procedure as gentle comfortable and painless as possible with the
02:50drill we remove everything that can be taken off because this thickness on the nail bed or rather
02:55the bed that has become carotinized and rough needs to be addressed it naturally needs to be removed
03:02because it interferes with nail growth and in this way i will go over all 10 fingers so i work
03:09like an
03:09assembly line an assembly line means when you do the same action on all the fingers you have that's why
03:17i go over all 10 fingers like an assembly line with a carbide bit i remove everything that i can
03:23at this
03:23stage with the bit each nail is let's say in an exclusive condition because they all differ in the degree
03:31of
03:31damage i think it's very interesting so on one client we have samples of different types of burns
03:38and onycolysis or rather different degrees of them notice that on the middle finger everything is a bit
03:44different not on the index finger and the same goes for the ring finger and the pinky of course don't
03:51forget to turn your finger to the side like i did so you can use the drill to reach the
03:56right area
03:57and right now i'm working directly on the nail bed and it doesn't hurt at all because there are a
04:03lot of
04:03dead rough skin cells there that need to be removed mechanically anyway by the way someone commented on
04:10my video asking why i didn't soak it with keratolic or some other ingrown nail solution i think in
04:17principle it's probably possible to do that but i don't work with that technique when i work with similar
04:23nails i prefer to do it dry it's more comfortable for me that way that doesn't mean it's the only
04:29right way it's just my technique it's much easier for me to remove it with a drill so basically we're
04:35doing a removal but not of the previous coating unfortunately it's the remaining part of the nails
04:42for example on the ring finger almost half of her nail has already grown back you can see that the
04:48nail
04:48is growing further it's pink her cuticle has grown and everything is wonderful we keep clearing
04:55obstacles i'm already working here be much more careful on the ring finger the damage is less there
05:00so you need to be more careful not to hurt it there's a very thick layer on the thumb inside
05:05she also has
05:07after effects from an unsuccessful one it seems like it was removal if i'm not mistaken but that was a
05:14long time ago she doesn't really remember how it happened anymore so there was some kind of
05:20interaction with a surgeon well that's about it yes it happened that's how it turned out well actually
05:28is not really critical it's just that the growth point is a bit messed up and the nail isn't quite
05:33even
05:33not exactly how i would like it to be but in theory with proper care and careful application of polish
05:40polish all of this can be hidden and basically no one will really notice or find out and maybe she
05:46herself doesn't even pay attention to how it's all going on there anymore it's upsetting and annoying
05:53but oh well a little bit has come off over there too i also lifted using the drill bit i
05:58was worried
05:59it might feel hot for her since i'm using the carbide bit hard on the nail but since the keratosis
06:05is very
06:05strong she didn't feel anything thank god i hope there aren't a million comments like that must hurt
06:11so much how can you do that it doesn't hurt her i watched the whole process as for the pinky
06:18toes
06:18don't worry they haven't been cleaned yet but we'll work on them because last time i tried to at least
06:24remove something or rather the most serious damage and today we're cleaning up in more detail
06:31and by the way i don't think that from the very first procedure you need to clean everything out
06:36100 you know right down to the bone but for me the procedure should be gradual and if you like
06:44have
06:44a cumulative effect that's absolutely correct i just usually prefer to work gradually that is each
06:51time it gets better and more and the same goes especially for sticky cuticles and moist skin
06:57which need to get used to you doing a manicure that is you need to gradually push back the cuticle
07:03it gets used to you moving trimming or cleaning it little by little it gets better and better
07:10by the way while i'm cleaning up i'll leave you a link here please take a look at the link
07:16i have other
07:17cool videos after the injury lateral onycolysis i have a really awesome video and there's also a video
07:24trilogy that is three parts about a girl who got into an accident and broke her finger there are
07:31stages showing her nail regrowing how we cleaned it and in the end the nail fully grew back it's
07:37amazing there's also a pedicure video where i remove a toenail that a girl hit really really hard
07:43and for now there's nothing there yet we're eagerly awaiting her return and i'll be glad to release the
07:50second episode i also want to say that all your comments are welcome i always read everything you
07:56write i'm very grateful to youtube and to all of you because it's very interesting and detailed here
08:02everyone responds there's always someone to talk to and something to talk about i really love
08:07communicating with you so i'm always ready for constructive criticism and attention you know
08:13sometimes people write all sorts of things but i'm ready to listen honestly because i still don't
08:20fully know what my youtube channel should look like like i said i'm new here i've only been on this
08:26platform for a short time but i really really like it here because i have the opportunity to show and
08:31explain all my work in great detail and in depth because on other social networks people are somehow
08:38focused on speed they're always rushing somewhere running and they don't absorb the main point by
08:43the way what you see sparkling on our nails is actually just remnants of the previous polish so
08:49from last time i didn't completely remove the base coat in some places because that wasn't the goal
08:54back then notice how easily the onycolysis is removed here with a carbide bit because it's already
08:59lifted since it's a burn there's a lot of keratosis and it's pretty easy just lift the bit up a
09:05little
09:05the tip is raised i'm working with the belly of the bit and quickly clean it all off next proceed
09:12with the file because i'll be using both of file and bits and we even use powder we'll be using
09:18talc
09:18lately i've really enjoyed working with talc this is a very interesting technique that well at first i
09:26adopted as part of my work with wet nails with oily skin that tends to absorb everything in general what
09:33happens to it well roughly speaking if there is such a skin type for example she made some cutlets
09:39she touched the ground meat and it's greasy and all of that just gets absorbed right into the skin
09:45while working the drill bit often gets clogged so you must frequently change and clean them yet they
09:51still don't file as desired and like magic powder solves all these problems it's so cool i'm so happy with
09:59this know-how that i picked up from a girl from st petersburg it's kdk nails uh in the meantime
10:06i
10:07finished working with the carbide bit and as you requested i'm going to do it now i'll do a combined
10:13manicure too but i won't go overboard with it she has significant adhesions in some areas even though her
10:21skin doesn't appear or feel stuck it's just that well the sausage will turn out really nice by the way
10:26it'll be
10:27satisfying to tie it up i think you'll enjoy watching but in some places like this little finger
10:32there's something unpleasant and stuck and here i will definitely use powder because this is exactly
10:39the type of skin that absorbs everything our hands come into contact with and most importantly different
10:46oils there including foundation or some food products or just ordinary creams and when working
10:52with this kind of skin the first thing i do is remove this little greasy roll i remove it roughly
10:59i
10:59don't try to make it super even i just take it off now so nothing gets in the way when
11:04i look inside and
11:05properly clean the pterygium also by the way i always trim the sides if there's anything there especially
11:13if we have onycolysis you see i realized that it would take me a very long time to clean that
11:18with a drill
11:18so i lift all of this with nippers since i have my own sharpening studio i don't even worry about
11:26it at
11:26all well if i can put it this way i won't ruin the nippers that's it that is i can
11:31afford to sharpen
11:32them quite often which makes me incredibly happy and in general i want to tell all the professionals
11:38that you can't neglect sharpening because it's the quality of our work if your tool isn't sharpened you'll
11:44never make a clean cut no matter how skilled you are the cuticle will tear causing fraying hangnails
11:50and an even more unattractive appearance i'm definitely a fan of nippers even though i also work with tweezers
11:57it depends on the situation and which sets remain in the salon since there are many of us
12:03my salon is large with 40 technicians on staff so just imagine what happens there
12:08so you work with whatever tools are left and the tools are also handled by specially trained people
12:15we have a sterilization room sometimes you just don't have a choice of course if i get to choose
12:22i probably prefer nippers for me that's the best tool well if there's nothing else tweezers and scissors
12:29will do too in any case i'll give a good clean manicure but in this context when there's a lot
12:35to trim
12:36i would still choose cuticle nippers so we're finishing up with the nippers we put everything
12:43away and get ready once again i want to say that i wasn't aiming for a perfectly straight cut we're
12:49just removing a little bit so it doesn't get in the way later here you can see how the nail
12:55has lifted
12:55wherever possible i gently lift and cut it off and we have the last finger left the pinky finger
13:04let's remove it and now we will start working with the drill bits by the way i will use my
13:10two
13:10favorite standard bits one is a red bit with a blunt tip it's probably called a flame bit with a
13:17red
13:18abrasive it's blunt i like working with it it removes the pterygium well and lifts the cuticle
13:24and the second bit i will use is a sharp flame bit well moderately sharp with a blue notch the
13:31bits i
13:32have are from our kazan factory i'm from kazan in case anyone doesn't know and honestly i'm really
13:38lucky i'm so glad that i have direct access to all these materials oh look i'm applying talc right now
13:45i usually use regular baby powder from the pharmacy but i didn't have any at the time but i took
13:52some
13:52powder from the depilation room there's a lot of it there this talcum powder which is used before hair
13:58removal also works perfectly the only difference is to make sure the talcum powder you use has no oils
14:05our goal is not to moisturize the cuticle and skin our goal is to clean it off and pay attention
14:12i think
14:12it's very clear in the video how well it gets cleaned off the bit is definitely not clogged right now
14:18i'm
14:19working at about five to seven thousand revolutions per minute so the speed is very low
14:26lately i usually choose lower speeds for myself although some time ago i was a real fan of high
14:33speeds to crank it up to 30 000 and do it quickly although even at five to seven thousand i
14:39manage
14:39quite fast and easily why did i make this decision because during the training process when i teach new
14:47future specialists i noticed that it's still hard for them to control the pressure on the drill and
14:53it's much easier when i say let's set it to five thousand now confidently and without doubt you'll
14:59review it and know exactly what you want to i filed right on the nail plate because believe me at
15:05five
15:05thousand you really have to try to file through something and by teaching people this way i realized
15:11that i personally feel more comfortable working at these speeds next we switch the bit in short we
15:19change the bit to a blue one with a sharp notch you can use absolutely any bits that you like
15:25i'm just
15:26showing the option that works best for me it's more convenient for me by the way i like to change
15:33the
15:33order of the bits sometimes starting with a sharp one then a dull one i can't really explain why i
15:39do this
15:40but i think it's fair to say that maybe it's just for variety i often just grab some other sets
15:47of bits
15:48and see how they work i'm always searching i strive to experiment because you never know where you'll
15:54find something or where you'll lose it so maybe this way it might be better that's why i try things
15:59out
15:59if there's something interesting i'll definitely show you we continue cleaning up right now i'm working
16:06on the free edge the bit with the blue notch removes it very well the speed is the same quite
16:11low about five to seven thousand revolutions per minute and specifically when cleaning up nails like
16:16these i prefer to go over the very free edge and the nail bed clean all of this so nothing
16:24catches
16:24it's very important our main goal is to make sure that her walking without coatings and without nails
16:30is as comfortable as possible that means we don't want any edge to catch on anything not on hair
16:37not on clothes not on tights and by the way that can happen because as it grows out little corners
16:43will
16:43appear i always explain this to such clients and recommend that they have a nail file
16:50to file the free edge themselves just to avoid those little snacks um it's autumn now and soon we'll be
16:59wearing tights it would be a shame to ruin a new pair of tights when you're already dealing with
17:04onycolysis after we've gone over with the blue bit and remove the cuticle it doesn't hurt to do a
17:10little buffing again at five seven thousand revolutions per minute we buff with a bit that has a red notch
17:16you can use a ball bit many people really like ball bits yes i do use them in my work
17:22but it's not a
17:23standard set let's say not a standard craft kit yes all of ours are numbered they have their own names
17:29and there are standards a1 and a2 by the way i don't know why they're called that it's just been
17:35that way for a long time anyway the ball bits are kept in separate sets and i don't always have
17:40time
17:40to get to them and now our treated finger looks like this well almost half of the nail is already
17:46in
17:47decent condition i consider that a victory next with the stick we checked the nail bed a little
17:53it's not as hard as before it's not so tough there's a bit of sensitivity yes the nail is lifted
17:59it's still
17:59sticking up but it will definitely get better we'll keep working and doing our best and we still have
18:05three more fingers that i plan to show you i won't show the full manicure since i spent a long
18:11time with
18:11her i worked slowly i worked carefully so that god forbid she wouldn't feel any pain anywhere
18:19gradually and carefully i don't see the point in showing two or three hours of my work i don't
18:24remember the exact length that's why i chose four fingers with different degrees and decided to show
18:30them to you now i've moved on to working on the pinkies and things are a bit different there
18:38initially this onycolysis wasn't cleaned up last time and now it's grown out lifted well and everything
18:44is clearly visible first i use a 100 or 180 grit file and start with the 100 grit side well
18:52basically
18:52it's similar to a carbide bit just a bit gentler i could have cleaned it up with just the carbide
18:58bit
18:58but i decided to also use the file here i used the 100 grit side and removed anything that was
19:05really
19:06sticking out and obvious next i used nippers again and trimmed off the piece of nail that was bothering
19:13me and now my favorite way to clean up onycolysis is to turn the bit perpendicular to the nail and
19:21clean it out the same way you would clean cracks on heels that is lifting upwards of course without
19:28touching the nail bed itself because here right here by the way it's soft you really need to be careful
19:33here he has a totally different level of damage here we take the nippers again i do yes by the
19:40way
19:40i make several cuts during the manicure and i don't think it's really a waste of time i just don't
19:46waste
19:46time constantly pulling bending pushing back the cuticle and desperately peeking under it my way of
19:53working is to make everything as comfortable as possible and without any unnecessary movements
20:01i might be wrong but that's how i work and have for a long time although who knows maybe i'll
20:08change my
20:09views on manicure because you see about the rotations it turned out that before i liked more yes more but
20:16now i realize that i prefer less for 30 000 i could also treat onycolysis if i wanted
20:23we are treating the cuticle here and of course we pay special attention to this little separation here
20:29we need to make sure to clean it all up so that nothing is left unfortunately during the filing
20:35process it's very hard to see the extent of the damage where the separation is happening but then
20:41we'll go over everything with an antiseptic treat and moisturize it all and you'll be able to see the
20:46result very clearly for now let's see how we're doing once again leave your comments and tell me what you
20:55think about this i'm always happy and very interested to read about how you handle such cases have you
21:01ever had them in your practice how do you treat onycolysis and what tools do you use don't hesitate to
21:08write i'm always happy to communicate i actually believe that social networks are made for communication
21:13i'm extremely surprised when some bloggers or professionals i'm not sure what to call them don't respond
21:19i have so many comments i don't reply if you're posting come on be kind and communicate because
21:26that's what comments are for people want to ask something or share something so once again i'm
21:33saying youtube is a real fine for me it's so cool here you write so much and in such detail
21:38and it warms
21:39my heart even if i'm in the worst mood i can always come here and read what you've written to
21:45me
21:45subscribe reply to you chat and it's just wonderful yes the amount is definitely big but still i am
21:52endlessly grateful to you for your feedback also don't forget to watch all my other videos and
21:59especially the previous version of ozok her first visit i'll leave the link here again so you can watch
22:05it and now our little nail looks like this everything is great here already almost half of the nail has
22:12been
22:12cleaned and has grown out next we'll move on to the difficult finger in my opinion this is the middle
22:18finger of the right hand it's always quite overgrown and one of the cuticles is often turned out
22:26that's because we write with a pen many people hold the pen on the nail incorrectly especially girls
22:33teenagers and school girls these girls who are taking the unified state exam nowadays it's honestly just
22:38some kind of curse when it comes to turned out cuticles and bumps on the middle finger too i think
22:44many people have a bump and that's all because for some reason people think that the harder they grip
22:50the pen if they squeeze it really tight they'll probably write better actually that's not true
22:56fortunately because gripping the pen too tightly only causes a bump on your finger and by the way deforms your
23:05finger you've probably noticed that if you place the pen straight to your right you can see that your
23:10finger and nail often grow to the side and this isn't some kind of congenital pathology it's an acquired
23:17condition in people that is most of our deformities are acquired by us just like a slouched posture when a
23:24person doesn't pay attention to it and you end up walking hunched over like a question mark or the letter
23:30g
23:31which isn't attractive and it's within our power to keep an eye on that you really need to try to
23:36be mindful when you're working oh when you're working or writing i said working because i have
23:42a habit of redistributing the load on my fingers and i often hold the device differently sometimes it's
23:48between my first and second fingers sometimes between my third and fourth fingers i hold this pen
23:54in all sorts of ways it's quite heavy and i've seen many of my fellow female artists develop a bump
24:00just like you get from a ballpoint pen when you write a lot and i say make sure to distribute
24:05this
24:05load so that you don't get one this kind of deformation that crookedness of the fingers those
24:13silly bumps it's all unattractive after all we're all girls jage i recommend distributing the support on
24:21the ring finger or the pinky that is when applying color for example when applying gel
24:26i often rest on the pinky of my right hand because stability is very important and when working with
24:34the device i rest on the ring finger i think it's easy to notice this from the way i work
24:39that i often
24:40switch back and forth there were even times in my practice when i changed hands actually that happened
24:46when i had to teach a left-handed person i realized that i just couldn't show what a left-handed
24:50person should
24:51do with my right hand especially with the device so you adjust switch and work with your left hand
24:56i think many professionals know how to work with their left hand especially those who do their own
25:01manicure even a french manicure is possible to paint with your left hand and if you want to develop your
25:09non-dominant hand whether it's your left or right depending on whether you're right-handed or left-handed
25:14i recommend painting with the hand that's uncomfortable for you i practice this myself i
25:20have several paintings that were done specifically with my left hand or half with my right and half
25:25with my left i tried to do that too and there's also another great method it's children's copybooks
25:31anyone who has kids knows what copybooks are where you learn to write the letters a b c and simple
25:37words
25:38according to according to the generally accepted rules for capital letters and that's really great
25:48first you write small pieces then you add punctuation and then you try to put words together
25:54and when i first picked up a children's handwriting workbook as an adult
25:58i realized that i actually didn't know how to write at all i mean we shortened the way so much
26:06our modern way of writing we're so used to typing on a keyboard on a smartphone or somewhere else
26:10when you get a pen in your hand you think wow why is it so slow why isn't it working
26:14out
26:15i was amazed at how much i absolutely couldn't write but i started sitting down and practicing with
26:23some copybooks first with my right hand then with my left hand and basically now if i need to i
26:30can
26:30finish writing something with my left hand yes it will be slower and by the way the handwriting will
26:35be completely different it's very interesting but it's something i would advise and recommend doing
26:41for self-development with french on your right hand the left will be easy for you in the meantime
26:47i've already finished the cleaning procedure and applied the regenerating products and oh my god you're
26:55about to ask which ones so please listen to me inky the brand inky that's the one i work with
