What tool has a shape designed to follow the natural curve of the nail?

• A. Cuticle Pusher
• B. Nail File
• C. Buffer
• D. Cuticle Nipper

Answer: (A)

The curved, spoon-shaped end of the cuticle pusher is designed to follow the natural curve of the nail. This shape lets you glide along the curved nail bed and gently push back the cuticle without gouging the surrounding skin, exposing the nail plate for cleaning or shaping. The other tools aren’t built to trace the nail’s curve: a nail file shapes and shortens the free edge, a buffer smooths the surface, and a cuticle nipper trims excess skin rather than guiding the cuticle back along its contour.
