Q: What is in a manicure set?
A: The core tools are clippers or scissors for length, a file for shape, a cuticle pusher, and something to buff. Anything beyond that is refinement.
Q: How do you do a manicure at home?
A: Soak briefly to soften, push back the cuticles, shape with a file in one direction, buff lightly, then moisturise. Shape before you buff, not after.
Q: How do you clean manicure tools?
A: Wipe each tool with surgical spirit after use and let them dry before putting them away. Damp storage is what causes spotting on stainless steel.
