Manicure: Where to Find Manicure Supplies

By: Jessica Jameson

While it's nice to go out once in awhile to have your nails done by a professional, sometimes it isn't always an option. This could be due to time constraints, lack of extra spending money, or a drive to the salon is just too far. However, this doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself of great looking nails.

With the right supplies, you can easily give yourself an awesome manicure at home. And if you're on a budget, then those supplies need to be affordable and last for a long time. Here's some great tips on how and where to find great deals on manicure supplies.

Let's start with the basics. What do you need to give yourself a manicure? To start with, you need a good nail polish remover, cotton balls (never use toilet paper or paper towels - you will go throw a lot more than using a couple of cotton balls.), and quality nail polish. You should also purchase a small manicure set if you don't already have one. If you plan to go on the glamorous side, you'll need professional manicure kits such as ones containing French manicures, or acrylic supplies if you plan to add tips to your existing nails.

These are the places that sell the exact same tools and equipment to salons and spas, and while you may pay a little more money to shop here, the quality of the product is superior. These stores sell complete manicure sets, or you can choose to customize your needs by purchasing individual tools. If you're really looking for top-notch tools and equipment, they sell the fancy airbrush machines and electric nail buffers, too.

Cheaper nail polishes tend to chip much faster than the name brands. You can even find professional quality nail polish at the local grocery store. One bag of cotton balls cost less than $2 and will last you a long time when doing manicures yourself.

If by chance you aren't able to locate a professional beauty retailer, then purchasing your manicure set from a department store is perfectly acceptable if you know what to look for. You'll find a wide variety of manicure sets ranging in prices from a couple bucks all the way $20 and over.

If in doubt, you can purchase one of these preassembled kits and then gradually add to it. You can get all of the basics in the beginning, and add new pieces as you need them. After all, who doesn't need one of those cute little toe separator thingies.

It is a good idea to go through your manicure set periodically and purge any old and outdated manicure supplies. You should replace the orange sticks and emery boards pretty regularly in order to avoid spreading fungus and bacteria that live under our nails. In addition, you should throw out polishes after about a year. I am guilty of adding fingernail polish remover to that last favorite bottle of discontinued perfect red. You know this particular beauty sin; the polish is real thick so you thin it out using remover. Well stop doing it, its ridiculous. Buy a new color already!
