Tools, not polish
The implements a manicure actually runs on
Cuticle nippers, pushers, files and buffers, drills, art brushes and table mats. The unglamorous half of the job, chosen so it lasts more than a season.

Why the tools and not the colour
Polish is the easy part to buy
Colour is everywhere and it is a matter of taste. Implements are not: a nipper that goes blunt after a month, a file that sheds grit, a drill that overheats, and the whole appointment gets slower and rougher. This shop stocks the part of the kit that decides how the manicure actually goes, from $3.99 sponges up to a full $39.90 bench set, and leaves the colour to somebody else.

Questions we get at the counter
Are these fit for salon use?
The nippers, pushers and drills are the grade a working station uses. The disposable kits and travel sets are meant for lighter, occasional use — the product page says which is which.
How do I keep the nippers sharp?
Clean and dry them after every use and keep them out of a damp drawer. Most nippers that go blunt early were put away wet, not worn out.
What does shipping cost?
A flat $4.25 across the US, and nothing once the order passes $25.
Can implements be returned?
Within 30 days if they are unused and still sealed in the original packaging. For hygiene we cannot take back an implement that has been used on a client.
Do the drills come with bits?
The cordless kit listed here ships with its own bit set. Standalone handpieces do not — the contents are listed on each product page.
New tooling, once in a while
We write when a new implement or kit reaches the shelf. Expect a handful of emails a year.
