Revlon Cuticle Trimmer

Most Helpful Critical Review

Just ok - falls short of precise

The concept behind this cuticle trimmer is ideal for its intended use. One end is formed to push grown cuticle back to be trimmed, the other end used to glide around nail bed to remove excess. The plastic is sturdy, so durability is not an issue. I did, however, expect a little bit more from the ...product due to the price. My previous trimmer was destroyed - chewed, more like it. Unlike my previous trimmer, this one is not so precise. The trimmer isn't dull, which you would expect from that statement. I would have like the metal trim end to be a little more sharply angled at its point. This one doesn't remove all excess cuticle. It removes the majority but still requires extra passes, which made me add more pressure in order to get a closer trim against the nail. Finally I had to be left satisfied with what remained. I would have liked to see more precision in one pass. It does come with a clear cover to protect the trimmer when not in use. Also, I appreciate the opposite end being shaped into a cuticle pusher. That's convenient but, once again, it isn't as effective as other products. It is plastic after all and doesn't do the job like other cuticle pushers created from other materials like metal, wood, or durable cushions. In the end, I'd rather spend this kind of money on each of the two separate features this product embodies if it means the job is done right. If you're going to give yourself a manicure at home, you don't want it to look like you did it at home, if you know what I mean.
