The Nghia Export P-10 Metal Hoof is a professional manicure and pedicure instrument specially designed for ultra-precise work around the nail plate. This metal "hoof" is ideal for gently sliding back the cuticle and for the controlled removal of cuticles, skin, membranes , and gel and acrylic residue. The combination of two different tips allows you to work quickly, cleanly, and safely—perfect for a sleek, salon-quality nail preparation.
The tool is made of polished stainless steel, the same type used in surgical instrument production. This guarantees high durability, excellent hygiene, and reliable performance under intensive use. The slightly serrated, non-slip handle provides a stable grip and prevents slippage during precision work, even when working with cleaning agents or disinfectants.
What makes this tool extra practical are its two precision tips . The flat blade is perfect for cleaning the nail plate and removing fine product residue, while the rounded, slightly convex chisel is ideal for pushing back the cuticle in a controlled manner and loosening cuticles without unnecessary pressure. This makes nail preparation more efficient, product adheres better, and the finish looks noticeably neater.
