Looking for Manicure Supplies
Sure everybody looks forward to going to a salon and getting pampered, whether it is for getting a facial or a massage or a manicure. Unfortunately not everybody can afford to indulge in frequent trips to the salon either because of lack of time or lack of money or the sheer inconvenience of setting up an appointment and going to the salon.
This certainly does not mean you have to walk around with chipped nails. If you cannot afford the time or money to go the salon and get your nails professionally done, perhaps you should give yourself a manicure at home. All you need to do is buy some of the basic manicure equipment and learn how to give yourself a manicure.
First you need to know what are the tools that are necessary for a manicure. To begin with you'll require a good quality nail polish remover, good quality nail polish, cotton balls and a basic manicure set that contains a small nail scissors, nail clippers, nail file and a cuticle stick. For a more elaborate manicure such as a French manicure, you'll have to purchase a professional manicure set and if you want to make your nails appear longer than they are, you'll need to purchase some acrylic supplies.
Basic manicure equipment is available at several discount stores as well as local drug stores. A "salon quality" label on a nail polish remover bottle indicates that the nail polish remover is of good quality. It is worth spending a little more on a good nail polish remover as the cheaper ones can be very harsh and tend to weaken the nails and make them more brittle. Also if you have small children or pets in the house you may want to look for a polish remover that is odor-free or at least low-odor. Buy a huge packet of cotton balls as it works out cheaper and you are bound to require lots of it when doing manicures.
A decent quality manicure set that includes nail scissors, nail clippers, nail files and cuticle sticks can cost less than $3 and if you look after it well it is sure to last you many years to come. If you are looking for a more complex set for professional manicures you will get better deals at beauty supply retailers. Because they mostly supply all equipment to professional salons, beauty supply retailers have a wider choice of equipment of better quality and they give you better deals too. If you are looking for acrylic tips for your manicure you will get a better deal and a better price at a beauty supply retailer rather than your local grocery store.
Don't know where to find a professional beauty supply retailer in your area? The yellow pages are sure to have a few listed that you can choose from. If you do not find anything convenient you could also do a search on the internet and you are sure to find one that's just right for you.

What's an American Manicure?
Women seem to be split into two camps as far as their choices of manicures are concerned; some prefer the look of a French manicure whilst the other women prefer the look of an American manicure.
With a almost nude, pale pink base color and nail tips painted the whitest of white, the French manicure looks elegant and stylish. Moreover the look is very versatile and suits all kinds of outfits whether casual or formal.
Some women however, find this look very overpowering and they prefer a look that is a big more toned-down. They prefer the look of an American manicure.
Although American manicures have some similarities with French manicures there are a few major differences. French manicures, with their bright white tips can be rather bold. American manicures, on the other hand paint the nail tips using an opaque white nail polish. In an American manicure the tips are painted first and then the neutral shade or light pink shade is applied on top of it. The result is a look that is soft, simple and glamorous.
If you want to get an American manicure done you can easily do this at home by yourself. However if you feel you'd rather get your nails manicured in a professional salon, it would set you back $10, without applying acrylic tips and about $30 with acrylic tips. When you go to a salon you also get the extra bonus of a luxurious hand massage free.
American manicure sets are available at almost all department stores or drug stores for a do-it-yourself manicure. Most kits are quite reasonably priced and can do a pretty decent job. If you want to buy a top of the line kit like the one that you saw on the table in the beauty salon, you would have to go to a beauty supply retailer. The manicure sets they sell are similar to the one you saw at the salon.
Here are some of the requirements necessary to give yourself an American manicure:
* Nail polish remover- preferably one that is non-acetone based
* Cotton balls
* Basic manicure equipment including nail scissors, nail clippers and a nail file
* Nail polish in a soft white or opaque color as well as a light pink color.
* Stencils, also called manicure adhesive strips for applying the white paint on the nail tips
* Clear top coat that offers the manicure protection and makes it resistant to chipping
If you are giving yourself an American manicure, make sure you first clean your nails thoroughly and remove all existing nail polish. After filing your nails down to the desired shape and size, apply a think base coat in the chosen color. Then you apply the adhesive strips and paint the white over them. Remove the strips when the nail polish is dry and then apply a fine protection layer.
The soft, simple look of an American manicure looks classy with any outfit and enhances your nails beautifully.
