Tool Reviews

You can do a manicure at home with the help of a manicure kit. Files, scissors and cuticle pushers will bring your nails into a well-groomed appearance in a few minutes. Some designer kits include gel polishes, glitters and stickers to create any design you want. Tools differ not only in assortment, but also in purpose, quality of steel.

How to choose a manicure set

On sale, classic manicure sets with 7-10 items are most often found. But electric tools are becoming increasingly popular, which allow you to significantly reduce the time spent on a manicure. When choosing, it is important to pay attention to the quality of steel, on which the service life of the goods will depend. Equally important are the equipment and functions of the devices.

Material

It is desirable that the instruments are made of surgical steel. It is used for the production of medical instruments, does not oxidize and does not cause allergies. Thanks to the combination of several alloys, it withstands even strong impacts and does not become porous.

Type (electric or manual)

There are several types of manicure sets: electrical and mechanical. Each of them has its own characteristics. The composition of the mechanical includes files and scissors, as well as cuticle blades. Before using the tools, you need to make a nail bath. The work itself will take a lot of time. But the classic way of working with nail plates is considered the least traumatic, as it does not damage the skin.

The electric kit can be used even by beginners. It runs on battery, batteries or mains. The composition, as a rule, includes a device and several nozzles for grinding and processing the cuticle. To put your nails in order, it does not take much time. But the service life of cutters is much shorter than that of classic devices.

Quality

The service life of the tools depends on the quality of the tools. Devices with a worldwide reputation are more expensive than analogues from China or Taiwan, but their manufacturers guarantee high quality. Manicure tools from Germany are most likely to be made of stainless steel. As for electric models, when choosing them, you need to pay attention to the strength of plastic and parts.
