HANGNAILS
This is one example: Not so pretty!
Hangnails can negatively impact a manicure by causing discomfort and drawing attention away from the overall appearance of the nails. If not properly managed, they can lead to uneven edges and create an unpolished look. Additionally, hangnails can be prone to snagging, which may disrupt the manicure process and result in further damage to the surrounding skin. Proper care and removal of hangnails before a manicure are essential for achieving a clean and polished finish.

An orange stick, often made of wood or plastic, is primarily used in manicure and pedicure routines. To use it, gently push back the cuticles of your nails to promote healthy growth and prevent hangnails. It can also be utilized to clean under the nail tips or to apply nail art. Always ensure the stick is clean before use to avoid any infections.
Keeping cuticles in good condition is essential for maintaining overall nail health. Healthy cuticles protect the nail bed from infections and promote proper nail growth. Well-maintained cuticles also enhance the appearance of the nails, making them look tidy and polished. Additionally, regular care can prevent painful hangnails and damage to the skin around the nails.
The perionium, or the skin surrounding the nails, may swell and feel tender due to various factors, including trauma, infection, or inflammation. Conditions such as hangnails, fungal infections, or paronychia can irritate the area, leading to swelling and discomfort. Additionally, allergic reactions or exposure to harsh chemicals can also cause irritation and swelling. Proper hygiene and care can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further issues.
The term "stepmother's blessing" for a hangnail likely originated from the idea that stepmothers are often associated with misfortune or discomfort. Just as stepmothers in folktales are often portrayed in a negative light, hangnails can be painful or annoying.
