How to use an electric manicure set?

Having familiarized yourself with the definition and advantages of an electric manicure set, you should talk about it in more detail and find out exactly how you should use it. We hope you don’t have any difficulties and don’t give up on this wonderful purchase.

Follow the rules:

• Proceed immediately to treating your nails with an electric manicure set without steaming your skin. If you get incredible pleasure from steaming, then you can leave this procedure “for dessert”, paying attention to it after completing the manicure procedure.
• At first, choose the lowest speed and then gradually increase it when you master the manicure machine. Also choose attachments with less abrasive.
• Avoid treating damaged skin areas (wounds, abrasions, etc.). It is best to wait until the wounds “heal” and your hands acquire a healthy appearance.
• After each procedure, treat the nozzles with an alcohol solution to disinfect the surface.

To make it easier for you to make your choice, we will briefly tell you about the purpose and type of attachments, or cutters as they are often called, found in an electric manicure set.

• Large cone-shaped nozzle. Relevant for sanding rough skin. When working with it, you should carefully move it across the surface, and therefore it is best to work with it at the lowest speed.
• Cylindrical nozzle. You will need it to work with the nail plates of your feet.
• Cuticle spatula. Allows you to lift the cuticle. When working with it, you need to make sure that it does not penetrate deep into the skin, otherwise it will cause pain. Correctly process the cuticle from one edge of the nail plate to the other and back.
• Cone-shaped nozzle. It is designed to erase rough areas and get rid of nails that have grown into the skin. Move it, moving from the outside to the inside, towards the base of the nail plate.
• Disc attachments that remove rough skin from the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. For your hands, use a nozzle with a lower roughness, and for your feet, use a nozzle with a higher roughness.
• The sawing discs are small. They allow you to give your nails the desired shape.
• Disc attachment for grinding and polishing nails. It can be used after the procedure to create additional shine on your nails.

Of course, a woman’s hands attract attention, and therefore it is very important to choose the right manicure set. To avoid mistakes when choosing an electric manicure set, it is important to listen to the recommendations below:

• Pay attention to the contents of the set. First of all, it should suit you, because it is you who will have to use it (of course, if you do not buy it as a gift). Electrical kits for manicure are multifunctional, and therefore you can find in them: an ultraviolet lamp (necessary for drying the gel used for nail extensions or included in gel polishes), fans, vacuum cleaners, attachments (in the form of rollers or disks), etc.
• Avoid a manicure set that has a huge number of useless attachments. As a rule, such sets are distinguished by their high cost, but the nozzles in them duplicate each other. It is most practical to purchase a set that includes: callus files, tapered nail files, polishing discs and nail discs. A good set can be considered, complete with tips for removing ingrown toenails and calluses, as well as cones for eliminating rough areas of skin on the feet and polishing.
• Examine the quality of the attachments offered in the set. It is not recommended to buy products made of mild steel, since after a while they will become dull.
• Don't buy the cheapest manicure set. In them, the attachments can wobble in the grooves, and this indicates the impossibility of properly processing the nail plate. It is better to choose attachments with sapphire or diamond coating, which do not have a detrimental effect on the nails and are more durable.
• When choosing an electric manicure set, pay attention to the number of revolutions per minute and the power of the motor. When studying the technical characteristics, give preference to powerful equipment (more than 1500 rpm). If you disobey, you will encounter the following problem: in close and strong contact with artificial nail, the machine will begin to slow down, as a result of which burrs will appear on your lovely hands.
• Avoid buying a battery-powered manicure set. Nothing bad will happen, but batteries will have to be constantly charged or purchased, since their power is enough to carry out one procedure.
• Check to see if the set includes reverse. The cutter can rotate in both directions, which can be used when filing nails.
• Choose a device with smooth speed control.

After reading in detail the tips for choosing a manicure set, ask yourself how much you need an electric manicure set. If you want to use it for daily filing and trimming of nails, a traditional manicure set may be suitable for you. If you want to get a salon effect, then, of course, it is better to use a professional electric manicure set.

Beautiful well-groomed nails are part of the image modern man. Moreover, manicure is relevant not only for the fair sex, but also for men. To perform the nail treatment yourself, it is important to choose the right set of manicure tools, having first studied the reviews. To make such a choice, you should be guided by certain criteria.

What should be included in a manicure set?

You shouldn’t chase quantity and choose a set with a large number of different tools, half of which you probably won’t use. It is better to give preference to a universal set that contains everything you need and nothing superfluous.

As a rule, the following tools are required for standard needs:

• nail scissors
• file
• tweezers
• knipser (tongs or nippers)
• spatula (sticks, scrubber) for processing cuticles
• cuticle scissors

The main tool of a manicure set is scissors for cutting nails. Their quality should be given special attention. Tweezers must certainly be included in the manicure set. This tool is necessary for hair removal. It can also be used for various actions that require special precision.

A nail file is the most necessary tool, which is usually used daily. It is better if it is made not of plastic or other soft material, but of metal. It is more durable and does not wear out over time. However, in Lately Glass files have also come into use, which cause less damage to the nail.

A knipser is a type of pliers and nippers, but it is much more compact. This manicure tool has sharp blades designed to trim nails. The cutting parts of the clipper allow you to cut nails at an angle of 90°, which reduces the required force.

Knipser is most popular among men

Scissors for removing cuticles are necessary for trimming manicures. For unedged cutting, you will need special sticks or a scraper to pull back the cuticle. The advantage of the scraper is its durability. However, it can damage the nail by scratching it. Therefore, it is advisable to give preference to wooden sticks made from orange wood.

The final choice of the manicure set depends on who it is intended for: a woman or a man. If we talk about a set for men's manicure, it may contain only a minimum of basic tools, namely: a nail clipper, scissors, a file, and nippers for cutting the periungual cuticle.

How to choose a quality manicure set?

One of the main properties of a good manicure set is its durability. And it can be ensured by the high quality of the instruments included in it. The body of each device in the kit should be comfortable, with smooth transitions, all parts carefully fitted and made of homogeneous metal. It is desirable that it be high quality stainless steel. Then the tools will last a very long time without causing any trouble.

The degree of sharpness of scissors and nippers is of great importance. Proper sharpening is the key to their long and effective operation. Check the tweezers - the two ends should lightly touch each other. This tool should pull out hairs, not cut them at the root. Choose a file depending on the structure of your nails. If nail plates strong and strong, a metal nail file is suitable; if weak and brittle, a glass nail file is suitable.

The case in which the manicure tools are located must be equipped with strong fasteners that securely fix the devices. The buttons or zipper closing the case must be in good working order, and the bag itself must be made of durable material.
