What causes a 'bacterial infection'?

Carla Kay (Celebrity Manicurist) gives expert video advice on: What is a 'nail infection'?; How can I prevent a nail infection?; How is a nail infection treated? and more...

What causes a bacterial infection is dirty implements, and having these implements break the seal either underneath your nail or the cuticle area. You have to be very careful that you're using soft pushers, and that all implements, whether they're yours, or a salon, are always disinfected to avoid those type of infections. This is because those are the ones that take a very long time to get rid of, almost up to a year.
