Eight Essential Nail Care Tools

Why Should You Invest in the Correct Tools for Your Nails?
Choosing to buy the correct nail care tools is very important for personal hygiene and to ensure that
your nails are always well kept. Our nails act as a shield to our fingers, providing them with protection
against infections and bacteria.

1. Nail clipper
Nail clippers are one of the most basic nail care tools that every person should have in their home. this
tool helps to keep your nails at an appropriate length. Trimming your nails from time to time is very
important if you want to maintain clean and healthy nails. So much bacteria get under our nails from
performing basic tasks such as cooking and gardening. Taking time out to trim your nails will ensure that
no bacteria will get under them and into your body.

2. Nail file
A nail file is great if you want to smoothen out the edges of your nail. It is one of the most popular nail
care tools on the market, with so many variants of its type available for purchase. One of the best tricks
to keep in mind when using a nail file to shape your nails is to try and shape them in an oval or square
shape to prevent your nails from chipping or breaking.

3. Cuticle pusher
This tool helps to push the skin around your cuticles down to the bottom of your nail bed. Our cuticles
often get ignored when it comes to nail care but, they are just as important as our nails. If you do not
take correct care of your cuticles, they can become dry and flaky.

4. Cuticle nipper
A cuticle nipper is great to use if you have slightly tougher cuticles that you need to trim the dry skin
around your nails. It is also good to use by people who have ingrown nails and wish to remove them in the
safest way possible. After using a cuticle pusher on your nails, you can then go in with a cuticle nipper to
remove the unwanted, dry skin around that area. Use an upwards motion to lift the dead skin away from
your hands with a cuticle nipper.

5. Nail buffer
If you are looking for a tool that will help you to achieve that glossy look on your nails without having to
apply clear nail polish, then a nail buffer is for you! Before buffing your nails, it is important to make
sure that your nails have been soaked in warm water and cleaned. Once you start to buff your nails, try
to keep in mind not to be too vigorous as this will cause thinning to the nails.

 6.Nail brush
Nail brushes are one of the must-have tools to keep at home. This tool can be used for cleaning your
nails and getting dirt out from under the surface of your nails. To successfully use a nail brush for
cleaning your nails, try keeping the nail brush under warm water then add some anti-bacterial soap onto
the brush before starting to scrub your nails.
 7.Toenail scissors
Toenail scissors were designed specially to trim thick and strong toenails. Sometimes a nail clipper is not
long enough to trim your toenails and can leave them looking shaggy around the edges. The short, thick
blades of a toenail scissor will help you to keep your toenails at a short length.

8. Nail cleaner
Nail cleaners are used to remove any unwanted dirt from underneath the nail. All you have to do is just
swipe the flat surface of this tool under your nails and it will pick up any dirt that has gathered under
the surface of your nail.

SAFETY PROCEDURE FOR

TOOLS AND MATERIALS OF
NAIL CARE

To ensure a sanitary manicure every time, follow these simple steps.

 Clean clippers, glass files, and cuticle nippers regularly. Wipe off any debris, wash with
soap and water, and disinfect by rubbing with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball.
 Don’t share emery boards. Because they are made of paper, they can’t be properly
sanitized. Replace them when the grit begins to wear down or filing your nails no longer
produces smooth results.
 Store tools properly. Place dry, disinfected implements in an airtight container. This will
keep them germ-free.
