Skin around fingernails

So i have alwasy had nail extensions, for years, when last april i decided due to wedding savings, that £50 a month could go to more important things so I stopped having them...cue months of agonising and nails getting back into shape which they are now (but rest assured, il be back on the extensions right before the wedding and will continue so afterwards, hurrah!)

ANYWAY, am concious that on the wedding day we will be having the obligatory 'ring' shot (mind out of gutters, i mean wedding rings!) so am moisturising and taking care of my hands lots. I have noticed that on a couple nails (and has to be my left hand) i alwasy get what seem like little cuts around the nail bed, where what i can only describe as scraggy bits fo skin hang. Am hoping people know what i mean!

How do i get rid?!?! it is to do with my cuticles?!

    I love that you're so used to having your nails done that you're just discovering what cuticles are. That's how I aspire to be (I chew mine ?)

    I know what you mean (and I didn't think they were cuticles either) but I don't know how to fix them, sorry.

    Almond Oil Flow works a charm. You need to regularly soak your fingers too and you can get special cutters to cut scraggy bits off but don't over use them or it will look a mess and worse than before.

    Can't you just nibble them?

    I think Americans call these hangnails? If you mean the edges around the nail that get a little hard/dry, and then get nibbled/picked/cut off/peel off. Sometimes you then get left with a little sore bit. My friend has these glorified pruners that she uses on my toe nails to trim that type of skin away. I'm not sure what you can do to prevent it though?
