This cuticle pusher is wonderful!

This little tool delivers everything I was looking for in stepping up my cuticle care. Wowee! With a similar (if not same) grit as a crystal file, this was gentle enough to scrape even more dead cuticle away from my proximal fold and sidewalls compared to orangewood sticks I used before. It didn't buff or scratch my nail plate, either. I love that it comes in a little plastic tube to make storing easy and worry-free. With this tool I was able to add an additional WEEK between cuticle clean-ups because, well, it cleaned up so dang well! Which means I got more time and opportunities for polished and pretty manicures - y'know, the fun part! A few (very minor) cons - I use this with a cuticle softener so cleanup is a little tricky because of the grit (which will easily catch cloth/paper/cotton fibers) but I manage to keep it clean enough going finger to finger, and it all washes off afterword with water. I personally would prefer the length of the tool be a little longer so that 1) there is more smooth glass for my fingers to grip on to, and 2) to rest in the crook of my hand like a writing or eating utensil would for better control and stability, especially when I am using my non-dominant hand. The grit against my fingertips is a little off-putting, but not a deal-breaker. At the very least, I recommend you try it, because after all, if you like it, it'll be the only cuticle pusher/remover you will ever need! :D

Amazing tool! Everyone who does their own nails need to have this. Makes nail prep faster & easier.

This thing is one of my favorite maniology purchases. It cleans up everything without hurting at all. My cuticles look so much better. Before & after pics: reindeer is the after.

I love this thing. It easily erases cuticles and smooths the top of the nails. Makes polish application easy.
