Beautiful hands and feet come as a result of a comprehensive beauty routine. If you choose to use an electric manicure and pedicure device to achieve well-groomed nails, it's particularly important you choose the correct attachment for the job. With the right tools and a bit of know-how, you can bring professional nail care right into your home.
Regular nail care has not only aesthetic, but also brings health benefits. By cutting and filing the nails, dead cells are removed, reducing the risk of nail problems, such as ingrown nails or cuticle inflammations. Moreover, a well-groomed manicure and pedicure provide a positive appearance, which can boost self-confidence. In addition, nail care also offers the opportunity to detect any irregularities on the nails early and treat them.
With 4 simple steps, you can maintain well-groomed nails on your hands and feet:
Tips on how to use an electric nail care device:
As a general rule, we recommend you check your progress regularly throughout your manicure or pedicure and stop if you experience any discomfort.
For the best nail care, it is important to understand the different types of attachments for manicure and pedicure and to know what they are used for. Each attachment has a specific function, be it shortening the nails, removing callus or polishing for a shiny finish.
Sapphire discs are suitable for filing and shortening your nails. Sapphire discs with a fine grain are suitable for thin nails. With a coarser grain, thicker nails can be perfectly shortened.
The sapphire cone is used for working on the nails and removing dry skin, callus or corns on the sole and heel.
With the felt cone, you can smooth and polish the nail edge after filing. At the same time, it serves to clean the nail surface. Always polish in circular motions and do not let the felt cone rest in one place, as this can lead to strong heat development due to the friction.
The sapphire callus grinder is suitable for removing calluses on the sole and heel of your foot. This attachment is used for large-scale application.
This is a coarse crystal grinding attachment for quick removal of thick calluses or large corns on the sole and heel of your foot.
The cylinder cutter is suitable for grinding down hardened toenail surfaces and for roughly smoothing these. For this, place the cylinder cutter horizontally to the nail surface and remove the desired nail layer in slow circular motions.
An ingrown nail can be uncomfortable and painful. To remove this, it is best to use the flame cutter attachment. Carefully approach the area to be treated with the flame cutter and remove the necessary nail parts.
The needle cutter can also be used to remove ingrown nails or dead nail particles when grinding. Use the needle cutter at a relatively low speed.
With a round sapphire cutter, you can carefully remove corns. Be very careful here, as when removing the skin layers of the corn, you quickly penetrate deeper into the skin, which can lead to injuries.
An important aspect of nail care is the regular replacement of the attachments. Over time, the attachments wear out and lose their effectiveness. An indication that it is time to replace the attachments is when they become dull or their performance decreases. Another factor is hygiene: After some time, bacteria can accumulate, which can lead to infections. Therefore, it is advisable to replace the attachments regularly.
When buying a manicure device or an electric nail file, you'll probably come across the terms clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation. But what do these terms actually mean and why is this function so important?
Clockwise rotation means that the attachment rotates in the direction of the clock hands, while in counter-clockwise rotation the rotation is against the direction of the clock hands. The choice between clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation depends on the nature of use.
Clockwise Rotation: This is typically used for working on the nails on the right hand. The clockwise rotation direction makes it particularly easy to guide the attachment with precision.
Counter-clockwise Rotation: For the nails on the left hand, counter-clockwise rotation is recommended. The rotation direction against the clock hands enables greater control for careful filing and shaping.
Other benefits of using different rotation directions:
