Nails at home

A simple manicure kit pays for itself quickly.

3 min read

A salon manicure every few weeks adds up. A basic kit and a little practice cover most of it.

A basic kit

  • Nail clippers and a file
  • A cuticle pusher (avoid cutting cuticles)
  • Base coat, color and top coat
  • Polish remover and cotton pads

Save the salon for

Special occasions, or services that are hard to do yourself. Choose a salon that's clean and licensed, and that uses new or sterilized tools.
