GERMANIKURE Glass Cuticle Pusher, Multipurpose Stick Clear, Leather Sleeve

Started washing my hands a lot more in January — while my general health is better for it, my hands are less so. Got into cuticle and nail care to address some of the issues and wanted items that would be easy to clean. Hadn’t had much luck with metal files and generally dislike the disposable ones. Trimming away skin seemed to only encourage further callousing, so something that’s gentle enough to be used next to or against live tissue while being able to remove . . a hangnail? N e a t . To quote Kenji— Guys, Gals & Non-binary pals: you need this. It files the free nail edge, hard bits of dead tissue that like to snag ( such as hangnails both above the nail fold and lateral ) underneath the free edge where weird bits of painful callous like to build up for me, takes off invisible cuticle that attaches and grows down the nail plate ( cuticle death grip ) and helps keep the proximal nail fold well manicured. Gosh, I know it’s “just” a glass file but it does such a good job in its application. I was using it every single day, for just a few minutes at a time. Followed up with cuticle oil and a lot of my nail and cuticle issues slowly went away, especially with consistency. Fingernails, toenails — my husband’s nails. Notice the “was”? ): The unthinkable happened, and I dropped it last night. Fortunately, it didn’t shatter. However, both ends of the cuticle stick somehow got damaged in the fall. It’s not TECHNICALLY unusable — but each end now has an incredibly sharp edge, and I went from being able to file by feel while doing something else ( like watching a show ) to having to focus a great deal on which portion of the file is in contact with my skin or nail. Huge, huge, hUGE sadness. Will keep using for now, albeit a bit less, until I can replace this one. Most likely will get more than one, because I’m sure I’ll drop it again. Am the butterfingers of the house. Love this funky little dude. Easy to use, clean, store, travel with, etc. Cannot recommend enough. You should get one. And probably another for anyone else in your life that you care about. (

This little tool is fantastic for cuticle care! I was previously using something similar but it was a disposable stick with a pumice tip. It worked fine but the end would dull pretty quickly. With this being glass it stays gritty and does a better job. I also really like the pointed tip to clean up the edges of my nails after applying gel polish. Highly recommend!

I love this little tool! I find myself grabbing for this for everything when it comes to my manicure. It’s useful for perfecting nail shape and also filing under the nails. I love that it also helps buff away small parts of cuticle I might have missed with nibbers. My only regret is not buying it sooner! My nails now look perfectly polished. Also the little leather pouch is so nice to have and protects the glass from damage. It’s additionally useful if you want to toss this in your purse on the go.

Excellent tour to gently remove dry skin around the nail bed in a gentle effective way

I recently got back into nail care after a long hiatus. I opted for this tool instead of cuticle nippers because I'm clumsy and terrified of injuring myself (even skilled technicians in salons cut me all the time). I was honestly pretty skeptical that a little ground glass rod could really work so well, but WHOA, I am telling you, it's magic. It worked pretty well on my fingernails, but the ultimate test was my toenail cuticles. I had no idea how bad they were until I started working on them. I was so disgusted (yet satisfied) with how much dead cuticle/skin came off. I don't think my toenails have ever looked so nice. The key is using this tool on DRY cuticles before using cuticle remover. Push back with the crescent side, then scrape away with the pointed end. I finished the job with liquid cuticle remover liquid and a final scrape and omg it's like I got an expensive mani/pedi and I have no cuts!! I did have to vacuum my bathroom floor though, eww. Obviously this tool is glass so be sure not to drop it and absolutely do not attempt to use it if it gets chipped/broken. Overall, holy WOW, this is the tool I never knew I needed, and now I can't live without! Worth every penny!

I absolutely adore glass nail files as they are the only ones I use on my natural nails, so a glass cuticle stick was a no brainer for me. When I do my own acrylics, I don’t like using a nail drill because I eventually have to use my non dominant hand and the nail file texture is perfect for cleaning my cuticles to make prep for acrylics. What really blew me away and prompted this review was I left it in my pocket and did laundry with it and it came out of the washing machine completely in tact. The brand label came off but the rest was in perfect condition. It was also able to be used immediately after because it’s waterproof. Using this around your cuticles over a regular cuticle pusher will really get up all of the skin that has grown on to your nail plate. This will ensure that your manicure whether it’s gel or regular polish or acrylic will adhere properly without lifting. Highly recommend. The product is also quite gorgeous to look at. It has a sleek design and is much more pleasing to the eye than traditional wooden cuticle sticks. It reusable and washable. It can easily be sterilized for use on other. I simply love this product.

If you're after the very best this is it! Made in Germany it's a great cuticle stick, smaller than the others, but just as effective. If, however, you're like most of us & on a budget there are just as good options out there for a lot less.

A handy little tool for manicures. Compact to throw in my bag and use on the go. Good quality with grit tips.

Excellent quality cuticle “remover” accompanied for me with Blue Cross remover cream.

I love, love, love this tool. It gets into those difficult to reach areas (under the nail, cuticle corners, etc.,) and removed all that dead, dry skin and cuticle gently and easily!

Product is okay, but the pointed end had a chip in it when I received it, so the area of use is smaller than it already is

These glass cuticle sticks have transformed my cuticles. I keep breaking them (my fault, always on hard tile from counter height) and repurchasing because they work so well.
