What is included in the Complete Collection Set?
The set includes six tools: Gel Scraper, Cuticle Pusher, Cuticle Eradicator, Cuticle Nippers, Stork Scissors, and Tweezers, designed for professional nail technicians.
What are these tools used for?
The Gel Scraper removes gel residues; the Cuticle Pusher and Eradicator prepare the nail bed by pushing back and removing dead cuticles; the Cuticle Nippers trim tough cuticles and hangnails; the Stork Scissors cut nail wraps or trim delicately; and the Tweezers place nail art or handle tips.
Are they vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes, all tools are vegan-friendly (made from stainless steel, no animal-derived materials) and cruelty-free, aligning with Halo Gel Nails’ ethical standards.
Are they suitable for professional use?
Yes, designed with UK nail technicians and German engineers, they offer precision, durability, and sterilizability for salon use, but are also accessible for home manicures.
Can they be sterilized?
Yes, all tools can be sanitized with alcohol wipes, Pure Nails Sanitising Spray, barbicide, or sterilized in an autoclave, ensuring hygiene for multiple clients.
Do they cause nail or skin damage?
When used correctly (e.g., trimming only dead tissue, gentle scraping), they minimize damage. Overuse or cutting live cuticles with nippers can cause injury, so follow professional guidelines.
What do recent reviews say?
A 2023 review for the Cuticle Nippers praises their sharpness and precision, stating “super sharp, cuts cleanly” (Aston & Fincher). The Cuticle Pusher is noted for “encouraging healthy nail growth” (2024, Aston & Fincher). No specific reviews for other tools, but the set is rated highly for quality and value at £62.95 (worth £74.70). Some users prefer Tweezerman nippers for longevity but value Halo’s affordability.
How do they compare to other brands?
Halo Elite tools rival Tweezerman and STALEKS PRO for precision and quality, with sharper blades than budget brands. Reddit discussions (2023) note Tweezerman’s longevity but praise Halo for cost-effectiveness and salon performance.
Are they easy to use for beginners?
Yes, they’re intuitive, but the Cuticle Nippers and Eradicator require caution to avoid cutting live skin. Beginners should soften cuticles with a remover (e.g., Blue Cross) and practice gentle techniques, as advised by professionals.
What’s the durability or warranty?
No specific warranty is listed, but the high-quality stainless steel ensures durability with proper care (sterilizing, storing safely). Reviews suggest blades remain sharp for multiple uses if maintained.
