Jan 2, 2002 · When my Vaquero Grande, a Cold Steel blade with those frustrating, tiny serrations, gets dull, I steel it on the flat side, which straightens the edge just fine. I think your nippers will work a lot better just doing the cutting edge, closed, that goes against the cuticle. (( BTW, "Benyamin" is a second name, like 'Billy Bob', not a family name ))

Feb 6, 2007 · I have had my cuticle nippers for years,in fact since I went to college and have never needed to have them sharpened. If it's anything like the service by Tweezerman then you have to send them to America.This would obviously cost quite a bit,probably woking out more than if you went to your wholesalers to buy a new pair.So for me,if needed, I ...

Jul 14, 2013 · I would love to know this too. I have bought so many over the years. Ranging from cheap ones to very very expensive ones.

Jan 22, 2020 · Hi all. Do you have to sharpen your nippers as mines doesn't seem to be as sharp as they were and i seem to have to keep going over the same bit. Thanks

Mar 10, 2010 · I havent used scissors before so therefore use nippers. I haven't used them much through as I don't tend to cut anything off unless it is hangnails or loose bits of skin that won't budge. Make sure it is the cuticle you are removing and not the eponichiam as this is living tissue and should be removed.

Oct 21, 2006 · I use my pusher/cuticle instrument to push back the cuticle (dead tissue) off the nail plate. You then end up with an excess of cuticle around the eponychium. You can use your nippers to carefully remove this BUT be CAREFUL NOT to cut the eponychium. I also use my nippers to remove dead loose peeled skin and hang nails from around the nails. HTH xx

Feb 11, 2022 · Please could I ask your expertise on buying the most efficient and durable cuticle nippers ? I have bought so many and none last longer than a month. Either the spring breaks or the nipper gets very blunt. Second question I am looking for OPI wholesalers to bulk buy nail polishes etc and I can’t find any on UK. Many thanks in advance C xx

Jul 15, 2005 · Cuticle is made up of exfoliated skin cells from the folds of skin surrounding the nail unit. Cuticle is non-living. Cuticle is NOT pterygium (which is an over growth of skin cells). Cuticle is not the eponychium (which is living skin surrounding the base of the nail unit). Cuticle is not true cuticle as opposed to false cuticle, it IS cuticle.

Sep 12, 2010 · After applying 'Solutions' cuticle remover and waiting a few minutes I wiped off, then started to push the cuticle back softly using my metal cuticle eradicator. Although I was only using gentle pressure each time I pulled the tool back over the nail, tiny strands of the nail bed were 'peeling up' form the nail bed.

Mar 18, 2008 · The cuticle is only the none living tissue attached to the nail plate, I think by the fact you are worried about making the client bleed, you may mean the eponychium, Nipping or cutting this can actually encourage it to grow thicker, its the body's natural defense.
