Ethel brings cuticle preparation and nail-edge cleaning together in one dual-ended tool, reducing the need to switch instruments during a professional manicure. The straight, flat working edge helps lift loose cuticle remnants and residue from the natural nail plate before colour, gel or treatment is applied.

The balanced design supports a light, pencil-style hold for controlled, detailed work. Each tool is hand-checked for smooth, consistent edges, with a gold-finished stainless steel body made for regular use and ongoing care.

Designed for professional use, Ethel has a sharp working edge that requires a trained, light touch.

A precision manicure tool, made to be kept. Backed by our 12-month tool warranty.

  • Dual-ended preparation: Combines different nail-prep tasks in one reusable instrument.
  • Straight working edge: Helps lift loose surface residue with controlled movement.
  • Precision bladed-edge: Hand-checked for sharpness and quality.
  • Durable and hygienic: Our signature gold-coloured coating helps reduce bacterial build-up and resist corrosion, supporting long-term use with proper cleaning and care.

Frequently asked questions

Navy Manicure Tools are designed as precision, professional quality tools rather than disposable accessories. The price reflects the quality of the materials, craftsmanship, design and finishing that goes into creating a tool intended to perform accurately and, when properly cared for, provide long term use. We believe buying fewer, better tools is better for your kit and helps reduce unnecessary replacement.
Many Navy Manicure Tools can also be used as part of a considered home manicure routine. Always choose a tool appropriate for your level of experience and use it only for its intended purpose. Precision cutting tools require particular care.
Yes. Navy Manicure Tools come with a one year manufacturer’s warranty. If your tool is found to have a manufacturing fault within the first year, we will assess it and, where appropriate, service, repair or replace the tool.
The warranty covers manufacturing faults rather than damage caused by misuse, accidental damage, incorrect care or general wear and tear.
Some of our most popular and most picked tools include Beryl Cuticle Nippers, Doris Cuticle Pusher, Rose Curved Nail Scissors and Hettie Precision Tweezers. Each has been designed for precision, control and long term use, making them firm favourites with both professionals and those building a considered manicure kit at home.
Yes. Where appropriate, cutting tools such as nippers and scissors can be serviced and sharpened to help maintain their performance and extend their lifespan. Navy offers a Tool Care Service, which can be booked directly through our website. We recommend professional servicing rather than attempting to sharpen precision tools yourself.
