Editor's Notes
October 08, 2019:
Whether you're prepping your nails for an at-home gel manicure or simply want to have clean and presentable hands and feet at all times, a manicure kit provides a portable, straightforward way to do so without the help of a professional. When choosing the best kit for you, bear in mind that some utensils are smaller than others, so take into consideration the size of your hands. A common complaint across this category is that nail clippers fall apart easily, but this can be a good thing when you need to sharpen the blades. By design, they are simple to take apart and put back together, so don't think they're ruined if they come undone.
Our previous #7 Litchi Electric became unavailable, so we upped the ante by replacing it with the Utilyze Innovative, a feature-rich e-file that's ideal for advanced manicurists or those who want to experience higher-grade care at home. We also decided to swap the Morpilot 11 in 1 for the Tomight Portable due to complaints of the former's drill ceasing to work after a few months. The Tomight model is USB-powered, which makes it superior in terms of portability, as you can connect it to a power bank and use it anywhere.
We said goodbye to the OnMe Grooming in favor of the better-received Yougai Grooming and added the Mr. Green Professional to give consumers who are willing to spend a little more another high-grade, middle-of-the-road option in addition to the Familife 11 in 1.
Remember, the tools in these kits may be small, but they are sharp, so keep them away from children and pets. Also, be sure to thoroughly dry them after washing or sterilizing them and keep them away from humid conditions to ensure they stay rust-free.
