Keeping Cuticles Tidy
Strangely enough, for something we frequently ignore, cuticles do actually serve a purpose. They are integral to protecting your natural nail, allowing it to grow and protect it from harmful bacteria. That’s why taking good care of this often neglected part of the finger is incredibly important.
What Is The Use Of A Cuticle Nipper?
Cuticle nippers are used to cut overgrown cuticles and hangnails. They are made for precision and are used to get into tight places on your fingernails and toenails. A cuticle nipper is a tool to use for shaping and cutting your nails when all others fail you.
How Do You Pick A Cuticle Nipper?
Cuticle nippers come in two different varieties: full jaw and half jaw. The size you pick depends on your preference and manicure style. If you prefer to take more of the cuticle off in one go, choose a full jaw. On the other hand, if you like to have more control and get into tight spots, get a half jaw cuticle nipper. The sizes vary from 1/4 jaw, 1/2 jaw, and full jaw.
With all that said, take a look at some of the best cuticle nippers on the market.
