Luckily, I found a super helpful blog post that explains each tool in plain language and even includes a detailed manicure tools name with picture
https://zamberg.com/blogs/news/manicure-set-tool-names-and-their-uses section right in the middle. That part really saved me because I could finally match the weird-looking stick or angled blade in my kit to an actual name and purpose.
Turns out, that skinny glass stick is a glass manicure stick — it’s amazing for cleaning around the cuticle and even smoothing calluses. And don’t sleep on the glass nail file either; it’s way better for your nails than those cheap emery boards that shred your edges. The article even showed me how to spot a proper cuticle nipper versus the trash ones that end up cutting too deep.
If you're like me and don’t want to wing it with sharp objects, definitely give that article a read. It breaks down tools into core sets and explains what’s worth using — total game changer.
