The tool is designed for pushing and scraping, not cutting. While it is effective at lifting gel, the edges are rounded and smoothed to ensure they glide across the nail surface rather than piercing the delicate skin around the cuticle.

Yes, for the best results, you should always break the top coat seal with a file and soak your nails in acetone before using the tool. The tool is intended to gently scrape away the softened gel, not to pry off hardened polish.
