Nail Technician Tools that Every Nails Tech Must Have
You are a lover of all things beauty and have a natural eye for nail art. You want to become a nail technician and get started immediately, but you don’t know where to begin and are wanting to know about nail technician tools because you are a beginner! We have put this guide together to help you learn more about the nail tools beginner nail techs need.
Having the proper nail tech tools is important
Making nail art might look easy, but the proper professional nail tools can be what comes between you and success. With the right nail tools, you can be more creative, professional and efficient at your work.
1. Nail Desk/Station & Table Lamp
As a beginner nail tech, it is vital to have a proper workstation. One that is inviting to clients and fits your needs as well. When purchasing a desk/station, look for something that can be portable and provides a safe place to store your professional nail tools.
In addition to the proper workstation, you will need a suitable table lamp. Good lighting lets you see your client’s nails more clearly to ensure your nail art masterpiece looks fantastic.
2. Nail File & Buffer
Nail files and nail buffers are essential tools every nail technician uses. A nail file helps form the shape of the nail design a client desires, typically squared or rounded. The nail buffer helps bring shine to an acrylic nail and can bring out the beauty of natural nails. Nail files and buffers are must-haves and are conveniently affordable.
3. Nail Drill
A nail drill is an absolute must; it helps nail techs save time by allowing them to more efficiently file acrylic nails and remove previous nail enhancements. It is a powered rotary tool, similar to a Dremel tool, that comes in different sizes and styles. Nail drills also contain various nail drill bits used for specific nail designs.
It is handy with artificial nail extensions and can be used for shaping, backfilling, or cleaning the nail. The nail drill is excellent for spaces a traditional nail file can’t reach.
4. Acrylic, Gels & Brushes
Next on our list is nail brushes. Using the right brush for the correct nail application is vital to ensure the proper shaping of the nail and the overall look of your nail art–making it essential to have a set of reliable brushes for acrylic and gel nail applications.
Acrylic and gel brushes come in various shapes and sizes depending on the nail tech’s preference and the client’s design. Traditionally, gel brushes are thinner and flatter than acrylic brushes and are made from nylon. Acrylic brushes are often made from natural materials such as animal hairs and can handle exposure to acetone used often with acrylic nail applications.
