I currently have a plastic cuticle pusher (with a pink end!!) and a cuticle knife, and cuticle nippers...
Curettes, pushers and probes, oh my!

I use a pusher and the probe from the Precision range from Designer Nails. Couldn't live without my probe!

I use a pushie and a chisel.
I have a curette, but I can't get the hang of it, must be using it upside down! :lol:

I use the double end pushie and the probe/curette from CND. They're brilliant!

Can someone please explain the difference between a currette and a probe to me ?
I am phoning S2 tomorrow, so would like to know which to buy,
(after seeing Geegs response I am thinking probe)
But still don't know what the difference is
At the moment I am using a pushie with a blade type end..But I have found it a little uncomfortable to use. and I don't think I am doing the job as well as I could,
It seems a little big and doesn't seem to do the job right on the right hand side of each nail, due to the angle...
It has took me forever to work this out lol...and only just now as typing has it made me realise, I do sometimes get lifting and it always seems to be on this side, I put it down to brush angle, but now Im thinking I am just not removing all of the cuticle
Thankyou xxx

A curette is like a little cup which you can circle round to gather up stray bits of cuticle - lovely little thing, it comes with differnet size 'cups' on each end.
I can't answer re the probe because I haven't got one

I've got the little cup one from s2. I thought I was buyin a probe, but when I got home I realised it wasn't. However, I love it! I was totally blown away by how much cuticle it removed along with cnd cuticle remover. xx
