Nipper: This is a useful tool for trimming hangnails and should feature a pointed tip to enable a precise trim.
Nail brush: Use a nail brush in the morning and in the evening when cleaning the hands, nails and cuticles. Replace the brush when the bristles lose their density.
Nail scissors: Gentler in the nails, scissors are often preferred to clippers for ultimate precision.
Nail stone: A nail stone is a pumice that is shaped like a pencil. The stone will extract dead skin surrounding the cuticle area and on the surface of the nails.
White pencil: Gently drawing the pencil under damp nails will simulate the look of a French manicure.
Cuticle oil: Vitamin E-enriched oils and sweet almond oil, applied regularly, will condition the cuticle area and maintain it at optimum health.
Cuticle cream: Smoothing a specially blended cream around the cuticle zone will soften the area and prevent hangnails from developing.
Orangewood stick: Use an orangewood stick wrapped in a piece of cotton wool to push back the cuticles. To prevent yellow stains, dip a cotton wool-tipped stick in nail polish remover to extract excess polish. The orangewood stick can be used as an alternative to a nail brush to clean underneath the nails.
Emery boards: A coarsely grained, double-sided emery board works best to shorten or smooth the nails. Use a fine-grained version for the final smoothing.
Nail buffing stick: Used gently in a swift back-and-forth manner, this tool will smooth, shine and buff the nails to give an excellent finish.
Cuticle remover: The cream or gel formula will remove dead skin from the cuticle area, but should be applied sparingly and left on only for the recommended time.
