This premium cuticle scissor, with its fine, tapered blades, is ideal for safely removing bothersome cuticles. Its satin-matte stainless steel finish and exceptionally precise, ergonomic design also ensure long-lasting, comfortable nail care. Soak your hands for a few minutes in lukewarm water with lotion or mild soap. Once dry, your nails are ready for a manicure. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back the softened cuticles, then remove them with the tip of the cuticle scissors. Small pieces of cuticle near the nail bed should also be trimmed with cuticle scissors. Do not pull them off. Dry the cuticle scissors after use and store them carefully. Do not use them to cut anything else; keep them away from moisture and clean them after each use. This is especially important for the unprotected inner surfaces of the blades. An occasional drop of oil will keep the scissors working reliably for many years. (Tip: Apply hand lotion after your manicure. Many cosmetic lotions contain harsh ingredients that can react with metal and discolor its surface!)
