If you're a beauty therapist, manicurist or pedicurist, these tools are your friends. They are perfect for nail care and will make your client's nails glitter and shimmer. I have curated twelve (12) tools that you dare not miss.
Emery board: The sanding disc looks long, flat, two-sided, one for filing the nails and the other fine side for shaping and chamfering the nails, and a small piece filled with sandpaper. The emery board is usually flexible and abrasive for maximum performance.
Orange stick: is a straight piece of wood with two ends. The sharp end is suitable for oiling or varnishing the cuticle. The other end works with cotton to clean the free edge, remove excess enamel and lighten the cuticle.
Cuticle knife: is an arsenal that does a great job of pushing back cuticles and removing dead nail cells.
Cuticle Nippers: The cuticle nipper is a larger and stronger tool designed to remove nails and dead skin cells from around the cuticle.
Nail scissors: they work primarily for cutting nails.
Toenail clippers: they are used to trim the nails to keep them looking neat and short before filing.
Nail buffer: is a cushion with a handle that is covered in suede. Polishing paste works great with nail buffers and adds shine to nails; Other benefits of nail polishing include improving blood circulation and matrix growth. It is an alternative to nail polish and is suitable for manicure and pedicure.
3-way nail buffer: it is a playful tool that is perfect for smoothing nails and removing longitudinal and horizontal lines, if any.
Nail brush: The nail brush is a good tool for cleaning the nails of clients and beauty therapists. Before and after use, it is recommended to wash it with warm soapy water or sterilize it in a cold chemical solution to kill harmful bacteria and microorganisms.
A hoof stick: it can be made of plastic or wood and has a rubber tip that pushes the cuticle back. It can work like an orange stick when tipped with cotton wool to clean under free edges.
Hard skin rasp or grater: Known for its role in pedicure after soaking feet in lukewarm water. It works amazingly well with hard skin remover, massaging tough skin with light pressure.
Pumice stone: It effectively removes dead skin cells from the soles of the feet.
