Manicure Products

If you want to do your own salon quality manicure at home, then you need professional manicure tools. These tools can be purchased at beauty supply stores like Sally Beauty Supply, or even online from a variety of retailers and specialty shops. The right tools and products make all the difference in your manicure. The first thing you´ll need to decide is whether you want manual or power tools. That´s right — there are now power tools which make grooming your nails faster and easier than ever!

These power tools normally consist of a manicure pedicure set which comes with rotating disks. Each disk serves a different purpose such as shaping, buffing and filing. The disks are interchangeable, allowing you to do your entire manicure with one convenient tool. It certainly cuts down on time and offers reliable results. But many women are more comfortable using traditional tools. For the basic home manicure, you need a kit which contains a file, clippers, tweezers and a buffer. Some people will tell you to use cuticle nippers, although most pros say that cutting the cuticles is a bad idea. They should instead be pushed down with a cotton wrapped orangewood cuticle stick.

If you´re using top quality manicure tools, you also need top quality polish. There are some good brands at the drugstore, but the most popular brands these days include OPI and Essie, both of which are used by salons everywhere. These brands can be purchased at stores like Sally Beauty, some drugstores, most salons and online. You´ll love the wide variety of colors available and the high quality of the polish. These brands wear for days without chipping and dry to a shiny finish.

Professional manicure tools are luxurious and enjoyable to use. Probably the most optional yet most luxurious of all is the lotion warmer. These handy little warmers come with disposable cups and warm oils and lotions to the perfect temperature. You can find these warmers for around $10, or you can go high-end and get something like the professional Amber manicure warmer. Another fun accessory to have is a paraffin warmer, which melts special wax for a nourishing hand and foot bath. When the paraffin dries on your skin, it is peeled away to reveal softer, more beautiful skin!
