THE GLOSSARY

[hoof-stik]

Listen

What it is

A manicure pusher with a soft, hoof-shaped rubber tip, used to move back skin around the nail.

How to use

Use gentle pressure during manicure preparation without forcing or injuring living skin. Follow the tool’s intended use; a soft tip does not make aggressive pushing safe.

How to apply
How to remove
Cleaning & hygiene

Follow the maker’s reprocessing instructions for the rubber tip and handle. If the tool cannot be adequately cleaned and disinfected, treat it as single-use.

Storage & care

Keep clean and dry in a covered container, separate from used tools. Replace damaged or worn items.
