What is the best tool for taking care of your fingernails and cuticles?

[glen]

I am sure some company makes a quality product for taking care of nails.
For example, Tweezerman is the a great tweezer - so, I am looking for the tweezerman of nail care.

put some clear polish on your nails....i heard that works b/c the polish tastes sooooooo nasty.

I'm lucky to be blessed with naturally nice fingers, nails and cuticles. Everytime I go to get my nails done (which i'm totally craving cause i haven't had one in forever) the person comments on how nice my cuticles are and they don't ever need to do much work on me besides filing and polishing.

How much are nail jobs?
And, don't I need tools to take care of them myself at home?

Congratulations on quitting. Biting nails is the most disgusting habit ever in my opinion. Any regular nail clipper should be fine. I usually clip with a smaller one, then use the file off a larger clipper to smooth down the sharp edges.

depending on the place you go to they could either be $8 or $20. Some places have manicure/pedicure deals on certain days too...and pedicures are so awesome cause you get a nice mini foot massage on top of getting your nails all pretty.

and the only tools i've ever used/needed was a nail cutter, a nail file, nail polish, and the occasional spa-y things like cuticle remover and buffer/shiner spongy thingy.

I'm not aware of any major differences. I just pick up whatever brand the local drug store sells and replace it when I lose it or when it gets dull.

fingernail clippers ought to do the job quite nicely and save the wearing down of your enamel that will happen over the years due to gnawing on your fingernails.

I think the ones I have are revlon.

Yeah, I know.

But they work really well and I've got very large/strong fingernails so need something very sharp, big and very strong. works well.

I hope you are a woman.

Male manicures, imho, are a sure sign of the apocalypse. The other ones being men getting into bush trimming and calling hair gel "product"...
