Manicure set for home use. Which is better electric, professional, prices and reviews

Modern electric manicure sets greatly simplify the procedure for nail and hand skin care. This is a great alternative to beauty salons.

Features and Benefits of Electric Manicure Devices

The manicure set helps to give the nail plate and the skin around it a healthy and well-groomed look at home.

Kits are of 2 types:

1. Mechanical... It consists of tools such as saws, scissors and a spatula. The kit may include other tools to create the perfect manicure, as well as various sprays and oils. Before using it, it must be sterilized so as not to infect. The main advantage of mechanical kits is mobility. They do not require an electrical network, batteries or accumulators to use them. They are usually cheaper than electric ones, but the price depends on the quality and manufacturer. Also periodically sharpening devices are required.
2. The electrical kit includes a large number of functions... This option will help create a manicure that will not be inferior to salon procedures. It can be used by both women and men.

Electrical appliances have many advantages, but they also have disadvantages:

It can be seen from this table that the electrical kit has more pluses than minuses. The device saves money and time. At the same time, manicure is not inferior to the result after salon procedures.

Much depends on the model of the kit, so it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of a device from a particular manufacturer in advance. As a rule, the more attachments and functions in a set, the more expensive it is.

What attachments are included in the electric manicure set?

Each electric manicure set has an individual number of attachments.

Basic cutters that are included in almost every set:

• Conical... It helps to smoothen dead skin and calluses. Copes well with rough skin of the legs. Medium cone tips are used for hand skin.
• Cylindrical... It will also help in creating a neat pedicure. She can treat toenails, which usually have a denser plate.
• A soft roller is required for polishing... It helps complete the procedure by making the plate look smooth.
• Ball great for removing cuticles.
• Small discs for filing nails help to shape the plate into the desired shape. The thinner the nail, the smaller the notch should be. Can be used with extended nails.
• Small brush used to remove dirt near nails.
• Cuticle lifting scapula... It should not penetrate deeply under the skin, otherwise wounds may remain.
• Thin cone helps in cleaning the lateral grooves of the nail bed and in removing the cuticle.
• Discs for removing rough hand skin.
• Big brush helps remove nail and skin particles after filing.

Many attachments overlap each other's functions. As a general rule, the more cutters in a set, the more expensive it is. But experts recommend that you familiarize yourself with all types of attachments and determine the most necessary ones before buying a model. This will help eliminate some of the phases, thus saving money.

Experienced craftsmen usually have a wide range of attachments, but this is not necessary for home use.

Some manufacturers sell each attachment separately. This allows you to acquire them gradually - as needed or in case of loss. It is imperative to take into account the abrasiveness of the phase surface. For delicate skin, only soft attachments are suitable. For pedicure, you can use tools made of a harder material.

The nail plate can only be processed with a polishing roller. Otherwise, it can be severely damaged. With the correct use of attachments at home, you can get a manicure and pedicure that will not differ from the work of an experienced specialist.

How to use an electric manicure set

The electric manicure set will help to give the nail plate and skin a well-groomed and healthy look in a short period of time.

Before using, there are a few guidelines to consider:

• It is not necessary to make a steaming bath before a manicure.
• It is necessary to study all speed limits. It is recommended to start working from the lowest one so as not to damage the surface.
• To avoid fungal diseases, after use, all cutters must be treated with alcohol or a special solution. This rule is especially true when several people use the set.
• Keep your nails and cuticles dry.
• If the nail plate or skin is damaged, this area should be avoided until complete recovery.
• Before use, it is advisable to examine all attachments in order to use them as intended. Only in this case will the maximum effect be achieved.

The general instructions for using an electric kit consist of several stages:

1. All cutters and hands must be treated with a special solution.
2. The cuticle needs to be moved with a spatula, slightly lifting it from the platinum.
   
3. The discs need to shape the nails. Some girls, having an electric set, do it with a regular file.
4. It is recommended to sand off dead and rough skin with a conical phase. You need to start at a low speed. No painful sensations should occur during processing.
5. With a ball or thin cone, you can remove excess cuticles. You need to work with the phase carefully so as not to damage the skin.
6. The soft tip can be used to grind the nail plate.
7. It is recommended to remove nail dust with a brush.
8. After completing the main stages, you can wash your hands and apply a fat cream or special oil on them. This will help soothe and moisturize your skin. With frequent use of oil, the cuticle looks more neat and also requires less processing.

After completion, all cutters must be treated again with an alcohol-containing solution.

The technology of manicure and pedicure is practically the same. The main difference is that the skin on the hands is more delicate, so it is recommended to use soft attachments. Also, a pedicure provides for the treatment of the foot with a large cone-shaped phase.
