Achieve salon-style results with the Expert Effect 1/4 Jaw Cuticle Nipper. Precision 1/4 blades trim cuticles closely and cleanly, easy to use in a hand-hugging curved shape. Designed with internal spring action for a longer life. Comes equipped with a safety cap to protect the blade. How to use: Soften cuticles by soaking in warm water, and then gently push cuticles back from nail bed. To trim excess cuticles, rotate lever 180 degrees, creating spring action between the handles, then hold nipper blades against cuticle or hangnail, squeeze firmly and release. Use on hangnails and cuticles only (trimming nails will dull blades).
