These nippers are my favorite. The jaw is small enough to let me get in between the cuticle and a gelx tip to get any glue seepage or even a missed tiny bit of cuticle that I hadnt seen at the end of my application. These are so precise and easy to use. They feel light and slim in my hands and make me feel like a pro. I have highly loved all of the gold premium stainless steel nippers, but these are my favorite!
