How to Apply Cuticle Oil | Manicure Tutorials
Rating
0.0 stars

I love cuticle oil. Whether it's right after a manicure or in between manicures, it gives your fingers a really nice shine. It moisturizes your cuticles, and it refreshes your old manicure, if there's no chipping.

I always recommend using a dropper for... I always recommend requesting or looking for your salon to have one with a dropper to avoid it touching your skin and knowing that it hasn't touched anyone else's. For your own personal use, you can use one with a brush. I also recommend that you carry one in your bag because it refreshes your manicure, as I said before. It's easier for you to apply, and then moisturize and push it back in to your cuticles. Whether you're in a cab or on the train or on the bus.

A good quality cuticle oil will literally saturate your skin around your nail, saturate the cuticles, and start to moisturize them, and give it a nice shine. It makes it look like magic. You'll see the dry skin just disappear. It should last maybe about a good two to three hours. After a hand wash, washing your hands and going to the bathroom, it should still last after that.

I recommend that you take the fingers after a manicure, after you've soaked the nails, pushed back the cuticles, shaped it, right before you apply the polish. You take the cuticle remover, this is if you're at home, and you put it with a brush around the cuticle. Go to all ten fingers.

When you come back, you take it and moisturize, and literally give yourfinger a mini massage. Push your cuticles back so that your skin has an opportunity to absorb the cuticle oil. Especially the skin around your fingers because that's where it dries out the most, especially winter time. After you've done that, you take a cotton ball with alcohol or you take an alcohol swab. You just remove the excess oil on the nail bed. This way your nail polish will adhere to your nail. Try to avoid taking the polish remover or the alcohol and getting it close to the cuticle area. You don't want to remove the cuticle oil that you just put on.

Remember, if you're in a salon it should be a dropper. They should drop it on your finger. This way the dropper doesn't touch your nail or your skin. Then ask them to take a couple of seconds and massage it into your finger.

If you're on the bus, in a cab, or at home, and you notice that your cuticles are dry, especially if you're using a harsh hand soaps at you workplace, I always recommend keeping one in your bag. They actually come in rollers, too, to avoid spilling.

You can drop it on. Right around your nail polish. It will not harm your nail polish. It actually makes your old manicure look great. Then massage it straight into your skin. The same way you would if it was right after a manicure. You push it back, and it looks great.

How to Select a Type of Grease (12 things about greasing you should know)
Rating
0.0 stars

I get a lot of questions about which grease is best for a tractor. While I'm not an expert on lubrication, my opinion is, and always has been, that the TYPE of grease is a lot less important than the FREQUENCY of greasing. In 25 years in the ag equipment business I've seen countless incidences of a failure on a piece of equipment that could have been prevented with regular lubrication. I've never once seen a repair that came about because the owner chose the wrong type of grease.

Truth is, for most of us who piddle around with a tractor, do some brush hogging, haul a little dirt around in the bucket and maybe use a grapple to move brush around, a good multi-purpose Lithium grease is all we need. Get one with corrosion inhibitors and oxidation stabilizers. Those additives may drive up the price a little, but they're essential, especially if the equipment is stored outside. That's what I use.

If you'll be using your grease for other applications, then it gets a little more complicated. Let's say you have a skid loader or mini-excavator and you'll be using the grease for both it, and your compact tractor. Then, you may want to move to a Moly grease. Moly greases are more than adequate for light applications like small tractors, and they excel in protection when pins or bushings are under a lot of pressure as they are in an industrial application. They're not a great grease for wheel bearings.

There's been a trend the last few years toward the use of Poly-urea greases. They're definitely a move up from the standard Lithium grease and are used in many sealed bearing applications. Poly-urea greases are thermally stable; high temperature situations don't affect them as they do other greases. They give great oxidation protection and weep oil at a very consistent pace. It is not, however, compatible with other greases. If changing from Lithium grease to Poly-urea, grease more often during the change to work the Poly-urea in to the system.

The absolute top of the line choice for greasing is a synthetic grease. They're EXPENSIVE, but they offer superior heat protection in high speed applications. If you own a round baler or combine with lots of shafts and pulleys moving for hours on end, your owner's manual may tell you to only use synthetic greases. Because of the consistency of synthetics and their ability to dissipate heat, they're the top of the food chain in the grease world.
