Brushworks Curved Nail Scissors

Brushworks Curved Nail Scissors is a pair of miniature stainless steel nail scissors with curved blades, for tidying nails and prepping them before a manicure or pedicure. The curve is cut to follow the line of the nail bed, so the trim ends where the nail does instead of digging into the corner where an ingrown edge starts. These are scissors rather than a clipper, which means you can see the blade meet the nail edge and stop exactly where you choose - the reason they are gentle enough to use on a child's nails. They are small enough to travel, so nails get tidied when you notice them rather than when you are home again. Trim first, then take any roughness off the edge with a file.

Benefits

• The curved blades follow the line of the nail bed, so the cut finishes at the nail instead of pressing into the corner.
• You can watch the blade meet the edge and stop where you want, which is what makes them gentle enough for a child's nails.
• Small enough for a wash bag, so they are the tool that preps nails before a manicure rather than one left at home.

How to use

• Work on clean, dry nails in good light, with the curve of the blade following the curve of the nail.
• Take the length off in two or three small cuts rather than one, and keep the blades clear of the skin at the corners.
• Smooth any rough edge afterwards with a nail file.
• Wipe and dry the blades after use and store them closed.
