The best manicure set: what matters in the case and contents

What matters in a manicure set

A well-groomed appearance is an important concern for many people, because it conveys self-confidence and well-being. The hands and feet play a decisive role in this, because they are often the centre of attention and reveal a lot about us. Regular manicures and pedicures have therefore become a matter of course for many women and men. That is why it is above all important, for daily and regular manicures and pedicures, to have the most important tools with you when travelling or on holiday in a manicure case.

We would like to give you a few tips for the search for the perfect manicure set/case:

Which case suits me?

The size of the case depends on individual needs and preferences. A small case is ideal for those who are out and about a lot and only need the basic tools. It fits easily into a handbag or a rucksack and allows quick care in between. A larger case offers more space and is suitable for those who want to make their nail care comprehensive and keep all the tools in one place.

Which tools must not be missing from a manicure & pedicure set?

A high-quality manicure-pedicure set should include a varied selection of high-quality tools such as a nail clipper/nail nipper, comedone lifter, nail files and cuticle scissors in order to allow precise care of the nails and skin. In addition, a robust storage sleeve or case is an advantage for safe storage and portability of the tools.

This combination of instruments is indispensable for a complete manicure-pedicure set. The set should include:

1. A nail nipper for precise nail cutting.

2. A double-ended instrument (e.g. nail cleaner & cuticle pusher) for thorough nail care.

3. A nail file for shaping and smoothing the nails.

4. Cuticle scissors or nail scissors, intended especially for the precise removal of excess cuticle.

These instruments are essential in order to ensure a professional and thorough care experience and should not be missing from any high-quality nail set.

What material should a good manicure case be made of?

A high-quality case should be made of hard-wearing material such as leather, nylon or polyester in order to protect the contents. The choice of material can reflect personal style – be it classic elegance or a modern look. A high-quality case made of leather or faux leather offers optimum protection for the contents and at the same time lends a stylish charm. The interior with soft lining fabrics and matching compartments completes the functional elegance of the case. Cases made of nylon or polyester could be more susceptible to wear and scratches compared with leather. Cases made of nylon or polyester could be susceptible to fibres and lint clinging to the surface, which could impair the aesthetic quality.

How should a case be looked after?

In order to ensure the longevity of a manicure and pedicure case, it is advisable to clean the case regularly. Washable materials can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. The tools can also be taken out and cleaned separately if necessary. It is advisable to let the case dry thoroughly before putting the tools back in.

Is a large case better than a smaller case? Which size is best for a manicure & pedicure set?

There is no perfect size for a manicure case — it depends on your needs. Even though larger cases are more expensive than small cases, we recommend the larger cases, because there you save more per instrument included and do not have to worry about having forgotten an important instrument.

The case as the perfect gift! Should it be filled or empty?

An individually filled case can be a perfect gift, because it is tailored to the needs and preferences of the recipient.

Why is a manicure case or set from Nagelzange.de the right choice?

We offer exclusively high-quality manicure cases made of faux leather with hand-made stainless instruments. Unlike many of our competitors, our manicure cases not only look good, they also contain very good instruments and no cheap goods. Many companies often economise on what goes inside, whereas we fill our manicure cases with the same instruments that you can also buy individually in our shop. The manicure & pedicure cases are made of high-quality materials such as leather or hard-wearing plastic. This makes them durable and gives them long-lasting performance. Our cases also always contain the three most important tools (nail cutter, nail file and tweezers). Unlike competing products, we do without cheap nickel-plated or chrome-plated instruments.

A manicure set from the drugstore or from Solingen?

At dm and Rossmann, manicure and pedicure sets often cost under ten euros. For occasional use that can be enough. Anyone looking for the difference will find it in three places:

• The scissors. Quality shows on them first. If the blades are only stamped out and not reworked by hand, the scissors crush the nail instead of parting it – the edge splinters.
• What is inside. Inexpensive cases are filled with parts that are not available individually anywhere. If a pair of tweezers bends or a file breaks, the whole set is done for. Instruments from a regular range can be bought individually as replacements.
• The case. With glued-in retaining loops the instruments come loose over time; sewn compartments last considerably longer.

One more note on the electric sets from the drugstore: they are intended for callus and for filing. For the nail fold, the corners and the cuticle you still need scissors, nippers and a pusher. The two types of device do not replace each other, they complement each other.

Our manicure and pedicure sets are fitted with exactly the instruments that we also sell individually.
