Review on Professional Cuticle Care Set: Cuticle Trimmer, Pusher, Scraper & Remover Tools In An Organized Case - Perfect For Fingernails & Toenails by Jeremy Levendusky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quick and easy home manicure

I love this little kit; it really gets the job done! The utensils are sharp and well crafted with a good weight to them. They are each solid pieces of stainless steel -- no wobbly tool heads imbedded in plastic handles (why are such things even made?) -- so they are sturdy and precise, making it quick and easy to neaten up your nails. This set consists of cuticle trimmers, a cuticle pusher, a cuticle scraper, a triangular nail scraper and dead skin/callus removal fork -- everything needed to get/keep your cuticles together in 3 efficient pieces. The only minor thing to mention is that the plastic case it comes in is kind of rinky-dink. Even with the protective tip cover on, the handles of the cuticle clippers sit open wider than the narrower case. You can make it shut, but you have fiddle with it a little. To me, it's not a problem because it fits in my cosmetics holder and the tools themselves are the most important part. My hands do a lot of strenuous work and despite my best efforts, my cuticles have suffered from the drying effects of wearing gloves often, frequent hand washing and constant hand sanitizing. They were a disaster -- dry, cracked, and callused with hangnails, snagging things -- awful! Moisturizers, lotions and miracle cuticle oils can't really penetrate that; such dry, dead skin which is usually still firmly attached to the periphery of your nail has to be removed. Even shaping and polishing your nails doesn't look as nice with that raggedy backdrop. With this little kit, it literally took seconds to turn that around. I was able to zip and nip around each nail, pain free, nice and neat on the first pass. Just follow the 4 simple steps in the product description area (tip: to lubricate/prep your cuticles, you can use any natural oil like coconut, olive, sesame, soybean, whatever you have) and then watch the transformation. It's astonishingly fast and easy, even if you're starting from looking beastly. The results last a long time if you moisturize your cuticles regularly because now your skin in that area can receive it. And it's super simple to maintain. I wish I had thought to buy this sooner. If you're in the market for such a thing, your search stops here. Just buy it. You will be so glad you did.

Pros
  • Great product 😊
Cons
  • The set may not be cost-effective in the long run, as the tools may need to be replaced frequently
