Cuticle pushers come in many different forms.Different shaped tips on cuticle pushers or cuticle sticks perform different tasks. From metal to plastic, these instruments also have many styles that can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.These tools normally have different tips on the different ends.
Ends that are blade like are used more for removing forward cuticle growth close to the nail base, acrylics, nail glue and also very stubborn excess cuticle. Use with caution though, and only if you know what you are doing as removal of too much cuticle skin may damage the cuticle and allow germs to reach your nail bed.
Sharp, pointy ends are more for scraping the nail plate free of excess cuticle skin and other materials such as acrylic or nail glue. Pointy ends can also be used for cleaning under nails - but be careful!
