Manicure: Where to Find Manicure Supplies

By:

Manicure Sets can be as simple or as complicated as you want them to be. You can purchase a basic manicure set at the drug store or your local discount store. A basic manicure set will probably consist of a nail file, tweezers, nail clippers, fingernail scissors and a cuticle pusher.

I remember the kind that my grandmother used to have. It was a leather case and each item had its own little elastic compartment that held it in place. The case could be closed with a zipper. She always had it handy in case of an emergency hang nail or broken fingernail. It was basic, and absent of any frills, but in a pinch it did the trick.

If you're looking to purchase manicure tools and sets that will last for years to come, then scout out where the beauty retail stores are in your area. These can easily be located through a search on the internet or by simply thumbing through your yellow pages. Beauty retailers will typically have the words "professional beauty supply" or something similar in their title.

I did replace the cuticle pusher with an orange stick which accomplishes the same basic thing. I also have some cotton, fingernail polish remover (I have both the bottle and the jar that you stick your fingers into), sticky tapes for fool proof at home French manicures, tons of different polishes, and of course one of those cute little toe separator thingies. Mine is hot pink and has palm trees on the end. This is a manicure kit that would make my Grandma proud.

In addition to the old fashioned manicure sets you can purchase all kinds of kits at all different kinds of stores. Some kits will have cute little carrying cases like mine (well not as cute as mine, but cute nonetheless). There are kits aimed at the target market of teenagers and small children.

Most grocery or local department stores also carry small manicure sets. These contain essential items such as nail clippers, nail files, nail scissors, and cuticle sticks. A good manicure set is usually found for less than $3 and with proper care, can last for several years to come. You can also find items at these stores for the more complicated manicure, but those items should be purchased at a beauty supply retailer.

If you're looking for something to just keep stashed away in your purse or car, then go for the lower-priced sets. You'll normally get a small set of nail clippers, nail scissors, a small file, and a cuticle stick. These are great for taking care of those annoying hangnails or filing down a broken nail at the office. If you plan to do your own manicures at home on a regular basis, then consider purchasing a manicure set that's a little more expensive. You'll get all the tools found in the cheaper kits, plus a few extras such as nail polish, cuticle and hand cream, and nail designs.

Finding a good manicure set is easy and with proper care, can last for years. Imagine all of the time and money you'll save by doing manicures yourself!
