Buy manicure accessories: Everything for beautiful nails

One thing is clear: Nature did not invent nails as a canvas; they are there to protect the sensitive fingertips. If you want healthy, beautiful nails, you should consistently do something good for them. Nail polish can be part of that, but it should be applied correctly. Here you can learn how to properly care for your nails and also buy your favorite nail care products.

Manicure & pedicure accessories: What is available and what do you need?

Nail care is important. But what does it actually include? To make your nails truly stand out, you need more than just nail polish. Nail care products range from nail files to care pens and care oils, all the way to nail polish remover.

You can find out how to do your own manicure and pedicure at home in our blog.

Nail files

Too long or too square? With a nail file, you can shape your nails perfectly. It provides the finishing touch with smooth edges. Filing your nails in the same direction helps prevent cracks and breaks.

Beauty tip: Filing nails into an oval shape visually elongates the fingers.

Nail care pen

Nail care pens are especially easy to use and give your nails an extra dose of nourishment and strength. They are a true relief for stressed nails, as they help prevent splitting and breaking. The surrounding cuticles also become less prone to tearing.

Beauty tip: Nail care pens work best when the nails are unpolished and free from residue.

Nail care oil

Nail care oil is essentially the same as a nail care pen but differs in its application. Valuable oils such as jojoba oil, peach kernel oil, and rice bran oil provide moisture and have a soothing effect on the nails and cuticles.

Beauty tip: Apply the oil in the evening before going to bed and let it absorb overnight.

Nail hardener

Nail hardeners are designed to strengthen and stabilize natural nails. They provide the best protection for brittle nails and help achieve a healthy, glossy finish. After consistent use for about two weeks, nail growth is visibly improved.

Beauty tip: Nail hardener can be used on its own or as a base coat before applying colored nail polish.

Nail polish

Well-groomed, polished nails are a woman’s calling card. Fashion-conscious women who care about their appearance coordinate the colors of their outfit, makeup, and nail polish every day. Good nail polish not only gives the nails the desired color but also impresses with long-lasting wear and an added care effect.

Beauty tip: To give the nail polish longer durability and a beautiful shine, you should apply both a base coat and a top coat in addition to the colored polish.

Nail polish remover

As the name suggests, nail polish remover is a cosmetic product used to remove nail polish. With a good nail polish remover, you don’t need to scrub with cotton pads for long — the color comes off easily. High-quality products also contain no harsh ingredients like alcohol or preservatives and even provide an extra care effect.

Beauty tip: Nail polish should always be removed in the direction of nail growth. Never wipe in the opposite direction, as polish residue can get under the cuticle.

Nail care set

Those who want to buy professional nail care products know that it usually involves many small individual items. If you want to save yourself the trouble, it’s best to go for a set that contains all the necessary products.

For every nail type: Buy coordinated manicure accessories

Thin and soft, brittle and hard, or dry and cracked? Nails have different needs. Just like with hair care, you should pay attention to your nail type before jumping in and buying manicure accessories at random. Here’s what matters:

Caring for brittle nails

Do your nails break easily or tear? If you have brittle nails, you want them to grow evenly and look healthy again. With the right care, such as with care oils and care pens, this is possible.

Caring for soft nails

If you tend to have soft nails, you need care that provides strength and stability. The solution is a nail hardener, which reliably seals the nails and protects them from external damage.

Caring for dry nails

Those with dry hands usually also have dry nails. When your cuticles no longer look healthy, it’s best to use nail cream.

Caring for normal nails

Your nails look normal, and you have no complaints? Lucky you! However, that can change quickly, so even normal nails should be regularly cared for.

Professional manicure accessories

When it comes to nail care, it’s worth investing a bit more. Only then will your nails not only look beautiful but also stay healthy and well cared for. If you want to buy professional nail care products, we recommend the brand Alessandro Nails, which has been regarded as an icon of nail design in Europe for several decades.

Juliana Nails offers the perfect alternative to classic nail polish. The gel polish is particularly popular because it comes in many colors, is easy to apply, and provides a scratch-resistant finish that doesn’t chip — lasting up to 5 weeks! Juliana Nails gel polish can be used on natural nails, gel nails, and acrylic nails.

Frequently asked questions

What tools do you need for a manicure?

The basic set includes a nail file, cuticle remover, orange stick, nail hardener, nail oil, and nail cream.

How often should you do a manicure?

A manicure should be done once or twice a month.

How can you best remove cuticles?

Use a special cuticle remover such as the Alessandro Spa Nail Cuticle Remover and apply it to the cuticles. Let it sit briefly, then push the cuticles back with a hoof stick.

Cut or file nails?

In general, filing is better than cutting, as cutting can cause the nail plate to split. For long nails, filing can be quite time-consuming, which is why it’s important to file your nails regularly so they never get too long.
