Orly Cuticle Pusher/Remover

I regret not purchasing the Orly cuticle pusher/remover sooner. In my own defense, I’ve purchased so many and they were all ok. This tool is divine!!!Disclaimer: I am a learning DIYer and by no means a professional. Please only use this review and tool at your own discretion.Pros:✅ Weight - it’s heavier than all of my other 1,2,3 … 7 tools. It’s sturdy, it feels great in the hand and the weight is well balanced.✅ It’s gentle to the nail plate and the eponychium [(the living skin (lip) at the very edge of where the cuticle (dead skin that occurs naturally as the nail grows)] is located.✅ The angle of the tool automatically helps me to Not dig downward into my nail but rather gently glide it forward after I soften the cuticles.✅ I’m able to use this tool in a quick dry cuticle maintenance in between a wet manicure or fill.✅ The edge doesn’t scratch the skin folds as I use it. I thought this was a “normal” side effect of cuticle maintenance. I was clearly mistaken. It’s gentle than my wood cuticle pushers.I’ll update if there are any rust issues or general break down if the metal as time goes on. This is a new purchase, freshly received.Cons:❎ The weight - I love it, but it might not be comfortable for all.❎ The unique design - That angle tho! Again, I love it. It might be a hard switch for some.❎ This isn’t the pretty cousin 😂. Sorry, she’s plain, she lacks shine, color, and sparkle ✨. This isn’t a con exactly, more of a preference by some. My pretty ones hurt. Ms Plain doesn’t.❎ Thicker & Wider than most cuticle pushes on the market. This wasn’t a con for me, but others might find this to be a deal breaker.If you’ve gotten this far thank you for reading!Overall I’m pleased and would highly recommend. It performs beautifully and efficiently. It feels sturdy and made with high quality metal. The weight is solid yet not too heavy to cause me strain or fatigue as a DIYer and family manicurist.

Until now, I thought cuticle pushers were ineffective torture devices, but this one changed everything. I will never use a different cuticle pusher again. This has a sharp edge that is effective at gently getting that tough, dry cuticle off of the nail. It's fast, effective, and painless. Where has this been all my life?!

I bought this after it was recommended on YT. I was skeptical, but I am moving away from spending ANY money on professional manicures so I ordered it anyway. I did my nails last night using it, and I have to say I was shocked! My cuticles were far more overgrown that I had ANY idea DESPITE just having a manicure done less than a month ago. I mean, we are talking, thick-gotta-be-cut cuticles that were far thicker than the manicurist found...so it can't be that I suddenly just grew thick cuticles. It pushed transparent cuticles that were on my nail that I hadn't even seen and pushed them back without pain. At first I thought I must be scrapping the nail, but nope, those were actual cuticles. Gross but somehow satisfying! My nails look as good, if not better, than they have ever looked. If you are buying a cuticle pusher, THIS is the one to buy. PERIOD!

Works very well as intended!

Good shape. Nice weight. Sharp.

This is a great cuticle tool if you practice no maintenance on your nails like me and let them get thick and overgrown. The unique shape compared to other cuticle pushers is very effective in getting the corners and removing it from the nail bed. I chose to use this with a cuticle exfoliator, which was great until I got to my right hand (I’m right handed) and slipped and cut my fingertip. So please exercise caution when using this tool! It’s very sharp, and if you choose to pair it with an exfoliator or something that will make your nail slick, be super careful. Other than that, really liked it!

I got this to.use with my other Orly tools and it didn't disappoint me. It is sturdy and is easy to use.

I noticed my manicurist using this style of cuticle pusher, so I went on the hunt to find it. My cuticles tend to overgrow, since I have a connective tissue disorder, and keeping my cuticles in nice shape is a daily task. I am impressed with how well this cuticle implement works-- although others have noted about being mindful of not being overzealous and scraping the nail bed itself. I will keep that in mind, but very happy I purchased this; it's the best tool I've found so far!
