I was asking myself the same thing when I unboxed my first pro-style kit. The tiny glass stick? Total game-changer. I found this article recently that walks through nail tools and how to use them https://zamberg.com/blogs/news/manicure-...their-uses and it was exactly what I needed. Turns out that glass stick is for pushing cuticles, exfoliating, and even cleaning under nails — way gentler than wooden sticks. The write-up breaks everything down by category (must-haves vs. “what is this alien instrument?”) and even talks about what tools are safer, like why scissors are better than clippers for preventing splits. I seriously recommend checking out the blog, especially if you want your nails to look salon-fresh without guessing your way through the toolkit. It made me ditch half my old stuff and feel confident using the rest.
