Cuticle nippers are small, specialized tools used in nail care to trim excess cuticle and hangnails around the nails. They typically feature a pair of sharp, curved blades that allow for precise cutting, making them essential for achieving a clean and polished look during manicures and pedicures. These tools are often made from stainless steel for durability and easy sterilization. Proper use of cuticle nippers can help prevent infections and promote healthy nail growth, but they should be handled with care to avoid injury to the surrounding skin.
