About Nail Tools

Whilst you would never consider neglecting your facial care regime and are meticulous about cleaning your teeth, can the same be said about your hands and nails? Hands are nails can say a lot about a person, so it is important your hands send out the right messages. Whilst salon manicures are a great way to keep your hands looking tip-top, they can be expensive. So get tooled up with the right products and create a DIY manicure with a salon standard finish.

What Nail Tools Do I Need?

There are a massive range of nail tools in the market, from the functional to the frivolous. Check out our guide below.

Nail Cutter

A pretty basic and important nail tool. Trimming your nails is important for overall health, ensuring you eliminate bacteria and prevent infections. Take care not to be over zealous, little and often is the key.

Cuticle Push and Nip

A cuticle pusher and nipper are two different products. A cuticle pusher is of course used to push the cuticle away from the nail bed. However, contrary to popular perception, the cuticle nipper should not be used to cut away the cuticle. It should only remove unsightly skin tags which may surround the nails.

Looking Buff

If you want your nails to look their best without the need for polishes, a nail buffer will smooth your nail bed and create natural shine. A nail buffer is also a great tool to prep your nails before the addition of nail polish or nail art. Be gentle in your buffing motion, as otherwise you may thin your nails.

Nail File

As nail tools go, this is a pretty standard buy. Shape your nail into a desired shape and off you go.

Exfoliate

On trend, nails shaped and styled to a high standard can be very eye catching. Therefore, you need to ensure the skin on your hands is in equally good condition. Hands can be very telling in terms of age, possibly due to neglect. We spend years sourcing anti-ageing serums for our face, but don’t pay the same attention to our hands. Exfoliation will scrub away dead skin and leave your hands more supple, moisturised and generally looking younger.

Which Are The Best Products To Buy?

Before purchasing your nail tools, consider the following factors.

How long will it last?

Investing in a quality manicure set will ensure a durable and long-lasting purchase. Cheap brands may initially look appealing, but they may soon break and won’t leave you with a professional looking manicure. You don’t have to invest in designer manicure kits, just stick to reputable industry brands.

Can I Take It With Me?

Many of the products mentioned above can be bought as single items, however buying a kit with everything you need makes your manicure station portable. This is particularly important when you head off on holiday and want to create pretty nails for the beach or bar.
