In modern society, an idea of a person can be formed at the first glance at his hands. Well-groomed fingers with a neat manicure speak of neatness, a responsible approach to business, and can even tell about social status. Conversely, unevenly cut nails with cuticles and hangnails create a repulsive impression. This applies to both women and the stronger sex.
You can successfully make your hands flawless and create a high-quality manicure at home, with a minimum set of necessary tools. This will take very little time.
What tools are needed for a manicure at home?
The arsenal for performing manicures in modern salons is impressive. There is everything here, from the simplest devices such as spatulas to the latest equipment. At home, you can get by with a minimum of available materials, but get an excellent result. You should not rely on a ready-made manicure set, since individual devices will remain unclaimed. In addition, it will still have to be replenished with separate tools. It is much more convenient to create your own cosmetics bag by individually selecting suitable devices for your nails.
List of tools with description, photo and method of use
To make a good manicure according to all the rules at home, you will need the following set of tools:
- several files (one for correcting the length of natural nails, the other for polishing);
- penza or ceramic file;
- scissors with straight and rounded ends (for trimming nails and removing cuticles);
- trimmer();
- wooden spatula sticks (orange or bamboo);
- miniature nippers or skin tweezers (will help remove burrs).
For those who plan to use the device at home, it is necessary to take a responsible approach to choosing a router.
As auxiliary devices and materials you will need:
- liquid for removing varnish residues;
- cotton pads;
- mat (backing) made of silicone;
- disposable wipes (or a small soft towel);
- a medium-depth bowl filled with warm water with the addition of essential oils, liquid soap or aromatic salt;
- special cuticle remover;
- moisturizing hand cream (applied at the end of the procedure).
In terms of time, the classic trimmed manicure procedure takes from 30 to 60 minutes. It all depends on the degree of neglect of the nails, as well as on the availability of work skills.
Features of selecting a router
A milling cutter is a compact device that makes manicure easier and faster. It can be powered by electricity or batteries. The device has:
- cord;
- frame;
- a device equipped with various attachments.
The milling cutter minimizes trauma to the skin around the fingers and also relieves pain. This is comparable to a salon procedure at home.
When choosing a device, pay attention to the following parameters:
- tip rotation speed (from 15 to 25 thousand rpm);
- power consumption (maximum up to 50 W);
- hull strength;
- aesthetic appearance;
- the presence of protection against overheating (thanks to an autonomous cooling system);
- handle weight (150–200 g), absence of vibration during operation;
- the presence of a collet clamp on the handle (prevents the attachments from falling out during operation);
- number and functions of attachments included in the kit;
- cost (up to 150 USD);
- warranty periods;
- availability of post-warranty service.
The device must come with at least three types of attachments:
- a diamond cap with a coarse abrasive (helps in correcting the length of nails and removing rough skin);
- rounded diamond tip with fine-grained abrasive (designed to remove cuticles and make nail cuts smooth);
- a ceramic or rubber tip with a fine-grained abrasive (used for polishing).
If desired, you can purchase additional attachments for the router.
Why do we need wooden sticks (orange)
Not everyone can carefully cut the cuticle on each nail at home. There is a high risk of injury or infection here. Professionals recommend using special cuticle removers made in the form of oil or gel. They are sold in specialized stores, packaged in small bottles, equipped with brushes, just like nail polishes.
To painlessly remove the cuticle, a special product (remover) is applied to it, left for 7-10 minutes to soften, and then gently pushed towards the body with a small wooden stick (“hoof”).
The ends of the sticks are pointed and spatula-shaped, so even a beginner can master the skills of working with such a device. Special types of wood (orange wood, bamboo) are used to produce sticks. They have several advantages:
- have a dense structure, therefore they retain their original shape for a long time;
- well lift and push back the thin skin of the roller that has grown on the nail plate;
- do not damage the cuticle, thereby eliminating the possibility of infection;
- do not leave behind burrs.
Metal cuticle spatulas are used mainly in salons. Due to the lack of skills in working with them, it is very easy to damage the thin skin around the nail. But this tool can be used at home to clean the area under your nails.
Rules for working with nail and cuticle nippers
The formation of hangnails occurs as a result of drying out of the skin ridges surrounding the nail. There are many reasons for this, but the result is truly depressing: hands lose their attractiveness and neatness.
Nippers are used to remove (“bite off”) hangnails, as well as to correct minor nail defects. Depending on the purpose, tweezers are:
- with straight and beveled edges;
- with pointed or triangular ends.
For removing burrs, rounded triangular nippers are suitable, which are positioned strictly perpendicular to the body. They ensure a tight fit of the cutting surface to the skin.
It is necessary to separate nail and cuticle clippers and not confuse them with each other.
It is unacceptable to pull off hangnails when removing them with nippers, as this leads to painful abscesses.
The instrument must be disinfected before starting work and at the end of the procedure. Once every 3–6 months, the nippers must be replaced with new ones.
Basic set for a beginner nail extension artist:
The principles for choosing tweezers and nail scissors are the same: high-quality material and sharp hand-sharpened blades.
Types of nail files and their purpose
The choice of file plays a huge role in manicure. After all, this is the main tool necessary for working with nails. There are several simple rules for selecting files:
- weakened, brittle, thin nails will require a fine-grained, semicircular tool with a special buffer;
- healthy, dense, strong nails are treated with sand or sapphire-coated tools.
When purchasing a nail file, you need to “test” it for friction. To do this, use the pad of your finger without pressing hard on its working surface. A high-quality instrument will not scratch the delicate skin of your finger; its surface is uniform and rough to the touch. If roughness is felt on the surface, it is intended for the correction of artificial nails (acrylic, gel).
Files can only be used on completely dry nails. After the bath, the plate softens and therefore peels off easily. All movements of the file should be directed in the same direction (from the edge to the middle of the nail).
Manicure files are often selected according to the degree of abrasiveness (number of grits):
- up to 180 grit - suitable only for gel and acrylic nails;
- from 181 to 240 grit - for brittle, thin nails;
- from 241 to 400 grit - suitable for ordinary nails, helping to make the edge perfectly even and smooth, eliminating small snags on the cut;
- from 401 to 900 grit - intended for grinding and polishing;
- from 901 to 1200 grit - give nails a glossy shine.
It is unacceptable to hold the file perpendicular to the nails: this leads to delamination.
Abrasive is divided into two types, depending on the shape and size of the grains:
- natural (pumice, diamond or sapphire chips, corundum);
- artificial (silicon carbide obtained from synthetic diamonds).
In addition to abrasiveness, the type of base (hard, soft) and material are important for the file.
Previously, metal tools were mainly used. However, now manicurists prefer other materials, rightly believing that metal harms the nail plate (it delaminates, crumbles, etc.). The basis of modern nail files can be:
- glass (has a gentle effect on nails);
- plastic (inexpensive and practical);
- metal;
- cardboard;
- ceramic (has the effect of sealing sections).
Photo: types of nail files
Paper-based files are either single-use or reusable. They should not be soaked in disinfectant. Foam plastic files are very soft and gentle. They are ideal for natural nails. Metal files are strong and durable. Glass files are gentle on nails. Their main drawback is fragility. If the nail peels off or cracks, then use a ceramic file, which perfectly sands the surface of the nail plate.
The most expensive, but at the same time the highest quality, is a file on a wooden base with garnet coating. In second place in cost is the crystal option, which can be used to file off the nail plate and rough skin (calluses) around.
An sandpaper model is suitable for filing sensitive, delicate nails.
Auxiliary files
The sanding file is flexible and soft; its base is usually cardboard. It is intended for:
- aligning the outer edge of the nail;
- smoothing out irregularities left after rough abrasive;
- removing deeply ingrained varnish or pigment spots.
A special polishing file with several working surfaces (4–6) will help to give your nails a pleasant shine. Each of them has a different degree of abrasive grain size.
Nail polishing is performed once every 25–30 days. This allows you to level their surface and at the same time avoid damage to the nail plate.
Buffs (buffs) are special suede strips and bars needed at the final stage of manicure. Unlike other tools, buffs cannot be disinfected. Therefore, they will have to be changed regularly.
For a complete manicure, you need at least 3-4 files with various abrasive coatings. Polishing models are often sold in sets (3–4 pieces). Each of them is marked with a number indicating the polishing stage (primary, intermediate, finishing).
Using a Curette
A manicure curette is a special tool. It is able to effectively remove dead skin particles that accumulate in the tiny gap between the nail plate and the cuticle. A curette is useful for people with ingrown toenails.
In appearance, an alloy steel curette is a cross between a nail file and a spatula. The tool is equipped with a special rounded tip, resembling a spoon, up to 1.5 mm thick. Notches are applied to the handle to prevent the metal from slipping in the hand.
Single- and double-sided curette models are available. They are selected individually, according to the thickness of the instrument, which ideally should match the width of the nail bed of the little fingers.
Silicone mat - for comfortable work
An unusual mat made of soft silicone, which has an original square layout, is found in many salons and manicure shops. However, such an accessory will also be useful for home manicure. Its functions include:
- protection of the table surface from contamination;
- the ability to sample varnishes (convenient for nail art);
- eliminating possible mistakes when painting nails (the design is first tried on a mat, and then easily transferred to the desired nail).
It is easy to mix different shades of varnish on the surface of the rug, creating new, unique colors. The remaining varnish after the experiments is removed at one time, like a film, or removed with a cotton swab dipped in remover.
Scissors
There are several types of nail scissors. With their help you can:
- shorten an overly long nail to the desired length;
- remove cuticle;
- cut off burrs.
Despite the similarity of functions, it is not possible to completely replace scissors with wire cutters (or vice versa). Both tools should be in your home arsenal.
It takes a lot of time to file down overgrown nails. Alternatively, they can be cut with straight or rounded scissors to the desired length, and then cut into the desired shape with nail files and sand the edges.
To remove cuticles and hangnails, you need miniature scissors with edges curved inward.
A good tool has several differences:
- made of high-quality stainless (alloy, medical) steel, the packaging may indicate the grade of the material;
- manual sharpening, thanks to which the blades remain sharp for a long time;
- perfect fit of the blades, without visible gaps.
Using the ends of scissors to push back cuticles or clean nails, or for needlework, is prohibited.
Manicure pencil
A capillary pencil for manicure is a modern invention, the purpose of which is to painlessly remove the cuticle. It is easy to work with, and a positive result is obtained much faster than using a special product and sticks.
A high-quality pencil not only softens, makes the cuticle more flexible and pliable. It also cares for the skin and slows down its growth.
In addition to the cuticle pencil, there is also a French pencil. They are often confused with each other. The pencil for French manicure has a classic white lead. It allows you to do without patterns and stencils when applying a decorative strip. Unlike varnish, which is applied on top of the nail plate, a pencil is used to draw underneath it.
Another type of manicure pencil is a correction stick. He will help:
- carefully remove traces of varnish remaining after the decorative coating;
- simplify the execution of the French.
In appearance, such a pencil is similar to a felt-tip pen with a dispenser end cut off obliquely. There is nail polish remover inside. For beginners who are unusual in applying a bright decorative coating to their nails, especially with their left hand on their right, the corrector will be indispensable. You will have to start eliminating the mistakes made immediately, before the varnish has time to harden.
The main advantage of the corrective stick is its non-traumatic effect on the skin of the hands and nails.
Other manicure tools
The category of other tools for performing manicure at home includes a trimmer. They can replace scissors when cutting the cuticle, and also quickly process the pre-nail hole. The working part of the trimmer is made in the shape of the letter “V”; in the recess it is sharper than at the edges.
Unlike scissors, cutting yourself with a trimmer is much more difficult. Therefore, experts recommend this tool to fans of trimmed manicure.
Scrapers are an indispensable manicure tool designed for scraping. Sometimes it is called a manicure spatula or pusher.
Pushers made of plastic or metal are more affordable analogues of wooden sticks. They are sticks with tips of different shapes (rectangular, oval). The tool also performs the function of displacing the cuticle. If the spatula has a pointed end, it can be used to clean out the space under the nails.
Performing a manicure at home should be done once every 7–14 days. The frequency of the procedure depends on the rate of nail growth, regular hand care and a balanced diet.
A high-quality manicure can be done not only in a salon, but also at home. Success and speed of work largely depend on the correct selection of tools. You can create a set for manicure procedures yourself by carefully selecting files and scissors, taking into account the type and condition of your nails. For those who want to get by with a minimum of time and effort, it is recommended to purchase a router. Professionals recommend removing cuticles at home not with cutting tools, but with removers and wooden sticks. In this case, the risk of getting an infection or abscess on the finger is reduced.
As you know, hands are a woman’s calling card. Often a woman is willing to spend several hours to create the perfect manicure. To make this process easier, engineers have developed electric manicure and pedicure sets.
What is an electric manicure set?
This is a set of tools that runs on mains or batteries. This set includes special attachments necessary to create a neat and high-quality manicure or pedicure.
Types of nozzles
Despite the large assortment of kits, experts recommend buying the best electric manicure set, which has all the necessary attachments:
- Large cone cutter: It is used for grinding rough skin.
- A cylindrical nozzle is necessary for treating toenail plates.
- Cuticle paddle: This can be used to lift the cuticle. This cutter should be used very carefully, avoiding deep penetration under the skin, otherwise soft tissue may be damaged.
- A smaller cone-shaped nozzle makes it possible to erase rough areas of skin. It is also indispensable in the fight against ingrown toenails.
- The discs are designed to remove rough skin on the palms or soles of the feet.
- Small discs are used for filing nails. With their help you can give your nails the desired shape.
- The disc attachment for grinding and polishing allows you to add extra shine to your nails.
Advantages of an electric manicure device
Compared to traditional ones, the electric set has many advantages:
- makes it possible to work not only with natural nails; The device also works great on artificial nails;
- allows you to process the inside of the overgrown nail plate, which is almost impossible to do with conventional tools;
- Removes cuticle completely painlessly;
- allows you to treat ingrown toenails;
- effectively and quickly removes calluses and corns;
- the presence of additional functions: a mini vacuum cleaner for collecting garbage, a massage attachment, a hair dryer for drying varnish, etc.;
- before starting work, there is no need to steam your hands and feet in warm baths;
- the presence of different attachments that allow you to perform all the necessary procedures.
Disadvantages of the device (according to users)
Despite all the positive characteristics of this technical miracle, there are some disadvantages that make every woman think twice before purchasing. The disadvantages of the device were identified by users who, despite the high cost, decided to purchase electric manicure sets. Reviews mainly concern the dimensions and weight of the set. So, compared to conventional tools, a professional electric set takes up much more space in your bag. Even a simple Zinger manicure set, fully equipped, has more compact dimensions. Therefore, a large number of women prefer an ordinary nail file, which can easily be placed in a cosmetic bag.
The second disadvantage, according to users, is the need to constantly charge electric manicure sets. Reviews on this matter are quite logical. But this minus is fully compensated by the ability to quickly and efficiently get a manicure.
How to choose a manicure device?
Today, equipment manufacturers produce a variety of electric manicure sets. Feedback from women serves as the basis for the development of new models.
Since there is a large assortment of manicure sets, it is difficult for a woman to make the right choice. To buy the most suitable model, experts recommend paying attention to the following parameters:
- Purpose: an electric manicure and pedicure set can have a professional or household purpose. If the set will be used at home, then it is better to take a household manicure set.
- Number of revolutions: for home nail care, it is recommended to choose a device that makes no more than 5000 revolutions per minute.
- Number and types of attachments: if a set is purchased to perform simple manipulations, a model with several attachments is quite sufficient. And for a more complex professional manicure, it is better to buy a set with the maximum number of cutters.
- Manufacturer: it is recommended to buy a device from a well-known, trusted company that has been on the technology market for a long time.
Most sets have attachments for filing, polishing, buffing, removing cuticles, and treating calluses. For women who often paint their nails, it is advisable to buy a set with drying.
How to use an electric manicure set?
As already noted, when treating hands and feet, preliminary soaking in baths is not required. In the first stages of using the device, you should turn on low speed and use attachments with less abrasiveness. First you need to treat the skin around the nail. Then they work with the nail plate. And at the end they begin to cuticles and calluses. All manipulations must be done carefully, without excessive effort, so as not to injure the skin and nail plate.
If the device is used by several people, the attachments must be disinfected each time with alcohol or cologne.
Do not use the device on areas with open wounds. In this case, the damaged area must be sealed with a plaster, and all procedures must be left until the wound has completely healed.
The best manufacturers of manicure sets
Electric manicure devices are produced by most companies that manufacture small and large household appliances. According to users, the best manicure kits are produced by Vitek, Scarlett, Maxwell and Panasonic. The kits from these manufacturers have excellent performance characteristics, are of high quality and are very convenient to use.
Among the usual tools for nail care, the Zinger manicure set is considered the best.
According to archaeologists, already 15,000 years ago people used sea shells as nail files. The first scissors found in the pyramids of Ancient Egypt date back about 4,000 years. Museums contain scissors from Ancient Rome that are at least 2000 years old, and scissors that belonged to the Gauls and Vikings that are no less than 1000 years old. The surviving scissors of the Moscow principality date back to approximately the fifteenth century. No sources from those times talk about separate nail scissors.
Manicure set - history of appearance
In the 16th century, French ladies cut their nails short and polished them with a suede board (buff) with a special polishing powder.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the first sets appeared. They were not actually manicure tools, they consisted of universal scissors and a knife for cutting paper, but they were already stored in a special metal casing, which was convenient during military campaigns and travel.
Around the same time, sets of scissors of different sizes and purposes appeared in the same metal, but slightly modified case. Ladies' sets were stored in special small wooden chests of drawers, which over time were transformed into boxes, and then into simple boxes that were convenient to store and transport.
Over time, pushers with hooks and a felt polishing pad appeared in the sets.
The year 1830 was marked by the appearance of metal manicure instruments. Since the French King Louis XV had problems with inflamed hangnails, the court doctor simply had to create a special metal nail care device.
Thus began the march of manicure sets from royalty to courtiers and simply wealthy people.
At the same time, a stick (which, by the way, has hardly changed to this day) was added to the metal objects in the set for pushing back the cuticle from the orange tree.
In the mid-nineteenth century, scissors with a nail file on the wide side appeared in Russia. They became widely known both in the country and abroad - they were awarded a medal at an exhibition in London.
In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the history of the development and transformation of the manicure set began. Objects were added, modified, combined and decorated with inlay, gilding, and bone handles.
The stormy winds of change in the twenties of the twentieth century also affected the manicure set. By 1930, the classic manicure set consisted of a file, scissors, a felt pad and several pushers. Tweezers or nippers began to appear in manicure sets after the mid-twentieth century.
The average manicure set for home use of the second half of the twentieth century, consisting of two pairs of scissors, nippers, a nail file and three pushers with plastic handles (they kept breaking) in a plastic flat case with a zipper, was a “miracle” of Soviet industrial design.
Today, in a manicure set in cases of different shapes and from different materials you can find:
- three types of scissors with wide and short blades;
- nail clippers;
- crystal file or diamond-coated;
- universal nail file;
- polishing buff (remember the board with a piece of suede?);
- trimmer (appeared to remove a burr from the finger of the King of France);
- scraper spatula;
- “Horse hoof” spatula;
- orange wood sticks (advanced age does not make them less in demand).
All of these items, or at least some of them, can be found in every woman, and, probably, in almost every man.
Nowadays, doing a manicure on your own, without turning to a specialist for help, is quite simple. All necessary devices can be found in specialized stores.
There are a number of tools that you simply must have to be able to make a beautiful manicure: manicure scissors, tweezers for removing excess skin, a nail file, a rectangular spatula for working with cuticles, scissors for removing cuticles and a file for polishing the surface of the nails.
These tools are the minimum set that every woman should have so that she can do the most ordinary manicure. Professionals use essentially the same devices, however, the options for a particular tool may differ.
In addition, specialists use many modern tools to make the nail treatment process more comfortable and easier.
This is perhaps the most important item among manicure accessories. Scissors come in a variety of different types. Some of them are designed to trim nails and rough excess skin, others remove cuticles and hangnails. When choosing scissors, pay attention not only to their appearance, but also to the material of the tool.
Hand-sharpened stainless steel tools will show excellent results in your work. It’s better to buy expensive, good scissors once that will last you a long time and provide the best manicure.
When working with this tool, you should remember that their purpose is to trim the excess part of the nail plate and the skin around it. There is no need to use scissors to clean dirt from the back of the nail or use it to treat cuticles.
This tool is also used for trimming nails and getting rid of hangnails. Tweezers are often more convenient to use than scissors, since their parts, which are made of special durable metals, are connected by a spring.
Most often, tweezers are used when it is necessary to remove those defects of nails and skin that scissors cannot remove. This tool should not only be safe, but also convenient, so when choosing, it is definitely recommended to check the sharpness of the tweezers. They should carefully remove the burrs and not tear them.
How to choose nail clippers - expert advice
Watch a very useful video on how to choose tweezers (or nail clippers).
The file is used to give the nail shape. Nowadays there are many different types of this tool available. Files can be made of metal, have an abrasive or fine-grained coating, be glass or paper on a cardboard base.
This choice will allow every woman to find her own nail file, which will be the right shape, size and color. The file must be selected based on the structure of the nail. For example, if a woman has thin and brittle nails, it is better to choose a glass file, since a metal file with a solid coating can very easily damage the nail even more.
An important component of any manicure is the removal of the cuticle, that is, the thin layer of skin around the nail plate. To make this easier, the skin first needs to be moved back a little. For these purposes, special spatulas are used, which can be of very different shapes. These spatulas are available in metal, wood or plastic.
For manicure at home, it is recommended to use a wooden spatula, because it will not greatly injure the area around the nail even if used incorrectly. If the spatula has a sharp edge, it is used to clean the space under the nail. Nowadays, these spatulas made from orange wood are very popular.
In addition to the file that gives the nails their shape, manicure uses a file that polishes the surface of the nail plate. Its coating is much softer, so the nail surface is cared for more carefully, the nail is not damaged, but is carefully polished.
It must be said that professionals widely use various products that contain abrasive elements to polish the nail. In this case, a brush is used instead of a nail file.
As additional items for home manicure, you can use special baths, with which it is convenient to steam the skin around the nails before the procedure, as well as cuticle removers, which soften it during application and make skin removal more comfortable.
Don't forget to sanitize your tools before using them. To do this, you can use any alcohol solution to avoid infection during a manicure. Accessories must also be disinfected after the procedure is completed. This way, not only your tools will be in order, but also your nails.
It is very pleasant to receive a beautiful, high-quality manicure set as a gift. I remember my first manicure set. I experienced admiration, joy, surprise at how HE figured out to give what every person really needed. Now I had my own set!
Imagine my disappointment when I couldn’t give myself a regular classic manicure. The scissors mercilessly chewed the cuticle and simply tore it. I didn’t use a nail clipper at all; I was very surprised by the number of scrapers - I wish I knew how to use them. And then I looked at my manicure set with different eyes.
Choosing a manicure set is not so easy! In one you are not satisfied with the price, in another the contents, in the third the color, etc.
People choosing a manicure set are divided into 2 groups. Some people choose a manicure set as a GIFT for someone! Others are for personal use.
First about the first group of people. So that you don’t get into trouble like my friend and end up with an unnecessary number of items or tools of dubious quality, here are a few secrets that will help you accurately determine the quality of the tool!
A universal solution - a 5-piece manicure set!
When a manicure set is chosen as a gift, and you don’t know what exactly the recipient is using, then the ideal option is 5-piece sets. They, as a rule, contain a minimum number of items that are most necessary during the manicure procedure. There are 5-piece sets - Zinger manicure sets with 2 scissors (for skin and nails), tweezers, file, scraper. And 5-piece items - 1 scissors (for leather or nails to choose from), 1 nippers (for leather), tweezers, file, scraper. To ensure complete satisfaction, it is better to opt for a 5-piece set, which contains 1 scissors, 1 nippers, tweezers, a file, and a scraper. Because most often women use cuticle cuticle cutters. And since you are not completely sure, it is better to choose one that has both scissors and wire cutters. Zinger sets are great tools for gifts. They are colorful, inexpensive, and have bright colored covers; As a gift, the manufacturer often adds professional tweezers in a flask with a small catalog book of their products. And of course, they are individually sharpened by our company. You can read more about tool sharpening in our article “About sharpening”. Some options for such sets:
There are also 5-subject courses from the company Mertz, MRZ, Viper, Yes, Henckels, Stalex (Ukraine). The best-selling 5-piece set from Mertz this year was the Wallet set 5408, the elegant set 9723 Mertz, and the neat heart-shaped set 6013 from MRZ. The Mertz manicure set includes 2 scissors, 1 cutter (for skin), a file, and tweezers. Color difference. Set Wallet 5408 – combination leather of red-brown color, with slight wear, antique finish. The set is “unisex” - suitable for both men and women. Set design in English style. Set 9723 - made in solid black or burgundy color. Has a conservative appearance. Manicure set 6013 MRZ is made in a strict black color, classic.
When you select a set for yourself, you know exactly what you need. When selecting a set for you, it is easier for our consultants to work, because... You can replace any item in the manicure set yourself or add a tool. For example, very often in 7-subject courses from the company Zinger There are a huge number of additional scrapers that you can do without. Our consultants suggest leaving 1 scraper and changing 2 others, for example, for a cosmetology instrument for cleaning the face, or for a crystal file.
Company tool Zinger It is considered to be a tool for home use. The quality of this brand is very good, no worse than many other companies. Consists of scissors, nippers, tweezers made of stainless nickel-containing steel. If you have the opinion that Zinger tools are not of very good quality, I want to tell you that you received a tool either not from Zinger, or not sharpened by hand. Sharpening a tool fundamentally changes the performance of these tools. In my practice, most often Zinger kits and tools were purchased not for beauty salons, but for home use.
Tool companies Mertz, Viper, Dewal, Mertz, Yes, Henckels, Stalex (Ukraine) no need to advertise. This is a professional tool. Having tried this tool once, it is difficult to switch to another. Stainless medical steel, special forging of tools, special alloys make them much more durable in the professional work of a master. When it is necessary to process in a hot oven and do manicures for up to 50 people a day. The sharpening on these tools lasts longer.
Luxury class - we make a gorgeous gift!

Zinger kits belong to the home use category. Sets of the oldest company logos in Europe, made in the city of Solingen, are of a professional level. The brand also has its weight. For example, by price category. If you choose the Zinger company, then for 5-10 items you will pay from 1250 to 3500. And for the Mertz brand of manicure set for 3-14 items you will need from 1550 to 6050 rubles. In both the first and second cases, it’s inexpensive for an instrument of this quality!
