Brushworks Precision Cuticle Nipper

Brushworks Precision Cuticle Nipper is a durable stainless steel nipper with sharp, narrow jaws, made to cut away overgrown cuticle before a manicure or a pedicure. It works on the skin at the base of the nail rather than on the nail plate, which is why the jaws are narrow: a nail clipper cannot reach one raised tag of cuticle without taking the skin either side along with it. Tidying that line is what gives polish a clean edge to sit against instead of a ragged one. Take one small piece at a time, and leave anything still attached where it is.

Benefits

• The narrow jaws take off a single tag of overgrown cuticle, which a nail clipper is too wide to reach.
• Tidying the cuticle line first is what stops polish lifting away from the edge of the nail.
• Durable stainless steel blades and a comfortable grip, so the tool keeps its edge and stays steady for a close cut.

How to use

• Work on a clean, dry nail and take off only the loose, overgrown edge.
• Make one small cut at a time rather than trying to lift a whole strip.
• Leave skin that is still attached alone, and stop if the area feels sore.
• Wipe the blades dry after use and store the nipper closed.
