{"product_id":"cuticle-nipper-scissor-type-10-cm","title":"Cuticle Nipper – Scissor Type – 10 cm","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA hangnail catches on everything — your sock, your sleeve, the towel — and pulling at it only makes it worse. The Cuticle Nipper Scissor Type is made to remove it cleanly in one small cut, so it stops catching and you stop picking at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUnlike a spring-loaded nipper that you squeeze shut, this one uses scissor-style ring handles. Your fingers stay in control of how far the blades close, which matters when you are working within a millimetre or two of living skin. The fine, angled cutting tip sits at a natural angle to the nail fold, so you can see the piece you intend to trim before the blades meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 10 cm it is small enough to sit in a manicure kit or travel pouch, and the ground stainless steel edges keep their bite through regular home use. It suits fingernails and toenails equally, and is designed for trimming loose cuticle and hangnails only — not for cutting back healthy, attached cuticle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove a catching hangnail in one clean cut instead of tearing at it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSee exactly what you are about to trim, thanks to the angled tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl the cut with your fingers rather than squeezing a spring closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTidy the nail fold without nicking the skin beside it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine enough for the small pieces ordinary nail scissors cannot reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall enough to keep in a manicure kit, travel pouch or bathroom drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel edges that stay sharp through regular home use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScissor-type ring handles for controlled, familiar operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine, angled cutting tip for precise access to the nail fold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp ground blades that meet cleanly along their edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 cm compact length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction, easy to clean and dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for both fingernails and toenails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReusable personal grooming tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash and dry your hands, and make sure the nipper is clean and dry before you start.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoften the skin first — a warm shower or a few minutes soaking in warm water makes loose cuticle far easier to trim and much less likely to tear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry the nail area, then gently ease the cuticle back with a soft towel or a cuticle stick.
