Getting a manicure can be good for your appearance as well as for your health. By applying vitamins to your fingers and nails, manicurists help keep your hands healthy and clean. But professional manicures can be expensive. A simple home manicure set has several different uses that can take the place of costly manicures at a salon.
Clipping
Many of the tools in a manicure set are provided for clipping. Most sets include a basic set of nail clippers to cut fingernails. Another clipping aid is nail scissors, which shape and cut the nail, as well as a cuticle pusher and cutter to cut away cuticle skin along the base of the nail. Hangnail clippers make it easy to cut away cuticle skin lower on the finger before it tears away.
Cleaning
Cleaning is another use for a manicure set. Nail cleaners, which are blunt points for removing dirt and dead skin below the tip of the nail, keep harmful bacteria from growing under the fingernails. Manicure sets also include files and buffers for removing debris or scratches from the surface of fingernails.
Filing
Manicure sets are useful for filing, which can have several effects on the nail. Using a coarse file, you can alter the shape of the nail. Finer files are useful for softening the shape of the nail and making the edge of the nail dull and smooth by removing sharp edges. Finally, filing can remove scratches from the surface of the nail and leave a textured surface for applying polish.
