Step 1. Prep

Pushed back, clean cuticles are the trick to a lasting manicure. If you leave cuticles on your nail, that’s where the lifting will start. The Japonesque Velvet Touch Nail Tool ($4.98) gently pushes back cuticles and cleans nails to create a smooth, clean surface.

Step 2. Remove

Once cuticles are pushed back, a sharp nipper is recommended to remove excess skin. The Japonesque Velvet Touch Manicure Nipper ($12.98) expertly removes cuticles and hangnails safely. Plus, this tool is so well constructed it will remain a staple in your cosmetic bag for years.
