Xtreme Cuticle Pusher

Xtreme Cuticle Pusher — the cuticle pusher for enhancement preparation

Before gel, acrylic or gel polish goes on the nail, the nail plate must be exposed — and that is what the cuticle pusher is for: it pushes the cuticle, the thin layer of skin on the nail plate, back toward the nail fold in a controlled manner. In everyday language the tool is simply called a cuticle pusher; in English professional jargon it is also known as a cuticle pusher — both terms refer to the same hand tool.

This step is crucial for durability: skin residue on the nail plate is one of the most common causes of liftings, i.e. spots where the enhancement later lifts. With the pusher you work along the nail fold and cleanly expose the surface before buffing, dehydrating and priming.

The Xtreme Cuticle Pusher comes from the Xtreme tool line by Crystal Nails and is part of the basic equipment of every professional nail table — a simple, indispensable instrument for manicures and enhancement preparation.
