GERmanikureClear Glass Cuticle Stick in Leather Sleeve - Ethically Made in Czech Republic - Cuticle Pusher & Remover, Callous & Dry Skin Fingertip File, Nail Shaper

Started washing my hands a lot more in January — while my general health is better for it, my hands are less so. Got into cuticle and nail care to address some of the issues and wanted items that would be easy to clean. Hadn’t had much luck with metal files and generally dislike the disposable ones.Trimming away skin seemed to only encourage further callousing, so something that’s gentle enough to be used next to or against live tissue while being able to remove . . a hangnail? N e a t .To quote Kenji— Guys, Gals & Non-binary pals: you need this. It files the free nail edge, hard bits of dead tissue that like to snag ( such as hangnails both above the nail fold and lateral ) underneath the free edge where weird bits of painful callous like to build up for me, takes off invisible cuticle that attaches and grows down the nail plate ( cuticle death grip ) and helps keep the proximal nail fold well manicured.Gosh, I know it’s “just” a glass file but it does such a good job in its application. I was using it every single day, for just a few minutes at a time. Followed up with cuticle oil and a lot of my nail and cuticle issues slowly went away, especially with consistency. Fingernails, toenails — my husband’s nails.Notice the “was”? ): The unthinkable happened, and I dropped it last night. Fortunately, it didn’t shatter. However, both ends of the cuticle stick somehow got damaged in the fall. It’s not TECHNICALLY unusable — but each end now has an incredibly sharp edge, and I went from being able to file by feel while doing something else ( like watching a show ) to having to focus a great deal on which portion of the file is in contact with my skin or nail. Huge, huge, hUGE sadness.Will keep using for now, albeit a bit less, until I can replace this one. Most likely will get more than one, because I’m sure I’ll drop it again. Am the butterfingers of the house.Love this funky little dude. Easy to use, clean, store, travel with, etc. Cannot recommend enough. You should get one. And probably another for anyone else in your life that you care about. (:

This is the at home manicure tool I didn’t know I needed. I’ve been using the wood and metal cuticle sticks and thought I’d give this a try.It’s amazing, pushes the cuticles down with little effort, no pulling or catching on the skin and damaging the cuticle. That’s because it gently files as it pushes. I was able to push with the flat end. Then, flip it over so the flat end is up and use the rounded end to file the roughness off the newly revealed nail bed. Then, using the pointy end further push the cuticle down and finely detail the nail bed and sides of the nail. My nails and cuticles look amazing, this thing really took away the tiniest bits of skin and nail. It was very soothing to groom the nails, it’s addictive using this tool to get every little bit. The pointy end gets the little bits and tiny details a glass nail file can’t reach! Love it. I can’t wait to try the glass nail file from this company. Never going back to the wood or metal sticks ever again, this thing is a game changer.

I love this thing. It's gorgeous for one + aesthetics are important to me. I love how it performs my word! I can't believe it's such an affordable luxury: I nearly buy 1 for each room. They're very small as in the size of an orange stick but so much nicer, work so much better, do so much more.

I recently got back into nail care after a long hiatus. I opted for this tool instead of cuticle nippers because I'm clumsy and terrified of injuring myself (even skilled technicians in salons cut me all the time). I was honestly pretty skeptical that a little ground glass rod could really work so well, but WHOA, I am telling you, it's magic. It worked pretty well on my fingernails, but the ultimate test was my toenail cuticles. I had no idea how bad they were until I started working on them. I was so disgusted (yet satisfied) with how much dead cuticle/skin came off. I don't think my toenails have ever looked so nice.The key is using this tool on DRY cuticles before using cuticle remover. Push back with the crescent side, then scrape away with the pointed end. I finished the job with liquid cuticle remover liquid and a final scrape and omg it's like I got an expensive mani/pedi and I have no cuts!! I did have to vacuum my bathroom floor though, eww.Obviously this tool is glass so be sure not to drop it and absolutely do not attempt to use it if it gets chipped/broken.Overall, holy WOW, this is the tool I never knew I needed, and now I can't live without! Worth every penny!

GERMANIKURE Clear Glass Cuticle Stick in Leather SleeveNice case for cuticle stick. Comes in cardboard outer case. Very nice for me.

I bought this mostly for use on my toenails. As I’ve aged, the cuticles and skin around my toenails seems to have gotten thicker, dryer, and tougher to push back from the nail - despite moisturizing.The pointed end does a really good job getting along the sides and the tapered end does a great job pushing the cuticle and removing the remnants.I always reserve a 5th star from my reviews until I know how something’s going to hold up. In this case, I’ll be waiting to make sure this doesn’t lose its “grit”. After see so many good reviews, I doubt that will happen. If I drop it? - that’ll be on me😁
