The Goal: Healthy Fingertips with Shine, Good Circulation, and No Cuticles or Hangnails!

The purpose of the first release, "Loose Cuticle Care Line," from "KOBAKO nails" is to remove dullness from the nail surface and transform nails into ones with a healthy rosy hue. To achieve this, it's crucial to thoroughly remove the "loose cuticle," which makes nails appear dull, like frosted or semi-transparent glass.

By removing old keratin that causes loose cuticles, pushing back the cuticles, trimming hangnails, and polishing the surface, you'll achieve refreshed, bright, rosy "bare nails" as if shedding the old and renewing yourself.

Cultivate Rosy Bare Nails with the "Basic Steps" of Home Care

"Cuticle Remover"
Loosens and lifts away loose cuticles, dead skin, and cuticles.

The "Cuticle Remover" is a softening liquid used as the first step in nail surface care, preventing damage to the nails. It moisturizes dry, whitened cuticles and, with continued use, softens even stubborn cuticles.
Ms. Watanabe also advises, "When applied, it softens hardened cuticles and sebum, so it doesn't damage the nails. Just as you'd use a sauna to soften your body before a scrub, soak your nails in warm water. If you don't have time to soak, apply this cuticle remover generously before care."
Price & Volume: ¥1,890 (10ml)

"Cuticle Pusher"
Simply glide it over the nail surface to neatly define the contours.

The "Cuticle Pusher" is used to gently lift loose cuticles and softened cuticles. Its grip is designed with a curve and thinness that easily follows the nail's surface contour. After use, the nail's edge becomes neatly defined, as if a layer has been peeled away.
Ms. Nagatomi comments, "I used to really scrub my cuticles, sometimes painfully! But with this cuticle pusher, it's effortless. Then, I tidy up any remaining bits with the compact nippers."
Price & Length: ¥1,890 (99mm) Comes with a convenient carrying case

"Multi Remover Cloth"
Instantly catches and wipes away loosened loose cuticles.

This wiping cloth quickly catches the dullness loosened by the cuticle remover and pusher. When used with nail remover, it easily removes even stubborn dark nail polish and fine glitter. "Because the fibers remove dirt from the nail surface, you can easily care for your nails just by rubbing, like using an exfoliating towel, without needing special tools. It's quite remarkable!" says Ms. Watanabe.
Price & Size: ¥630 (106×106mm, 15 sheets)

"Compact Nipper"
Precisely and effortlessly trim target cuticles and hangnails without missing.

These tweezer-style nippers were developed to easily pinch off hardened keratin and hangnails. "These nippers are truly excellent. Simple, highly safe, and easy to use," says Ms. Nagatomi. Ms. Watanabe also adds, "We were meticulous about the blade tips for KOBAKO's nippers." The compact, maneuverable blades capture the target area without fail and remove it with a sharp cut, so there's no worry of cutting too much. They feel as natural as using your own fingertips.
Price & Length: ¥1,890 (89mm) Comes with a convenient carrying case

"Cuticle Essence"
A moisturizing serum that hydrates nails, fingers, and hands.

The "Cuticle Essence" is a dedicated moisturizing serum to be used as the final step in care. With its high moisturizing and conditioning effects, it hydrates nails, fingers, and hands, preventing breakage and hangnails caused by dryness. Its texture blends into the skin without any immediate stickiness. It can also be used to prevent dryness on fingertips with gel nails. Features an easy-to-use dropper.
Price & Volume: ¥1,890 (10ml)

"Block Buffer"
Achieve glossy nails in 4 steps with its 4 surfaces.

This block-shaped nail buffer, with its four surfaces of varying grits, allows you to polish your nails in sequence, smoothing out surface irregularities for a sparkling finish. The elasticity of the core has been adjusted to create a perfect flex, allowing for a wider contact area with the nail surface and effortless polishing with minimal force. Comes in a set of two.
Price & Size: ¥1,260 (75×29×24mm)
