I decided to replace all my disposable mani/pedi tools with something that lasts. I was extra careful the first time I used it, as I was afraid the frosted glass surface would hurt my nail bed. For the first few times I used it wrapped in piece of cotton ball dipped in polish remover and it worked great. Once I learned how much pressure I can apply, I've been using it as is. My problem with wood pushers was that sooner or later the wedge tip would soften and disintegrate. With this tool, a quick wash in a soapy water brings it back to original condition. It's also easy to disinfect. I like to use it after cuticle remover softens the skin, to push and scrub the dead skin and cuticles with circular moves. It is made of frosted glass, so it must be used with more caution, but when used properly, it works great and lasts forever, if you take good care of it. I would be extra careful and try not to use it over tiled or hard floors, you don't want to risk broken glass while you're barefoot.
