A hangnail is that loose piece of skin near the cuticle or at the side of your nail that gets caught on clothing and you try to pick it off only to make an unsightly and painful mess of your nails. Hangnails occur most often in dry and cracked skin so remember to use a cuticle oil or hand and nail cream daily to soften this skin. Uniquely design for super comfort and convenience. Particularly good when being used by professional manicurists for long periods of time.
