Pretty harsh, huh?

Occasionally -- like once a year -- I will shock people and get a manicure at a salon. Why so seldom you ask? I fear disease so naturally I have assumed that I will pick up something nasty and lose a finger at a nail salon. My manicures need to be done in a clean environment, my house.

Good thing I just got this handy kit from Japonesque, which has everything I need for a manicure. These quality stainless steel tools are inside a protective case (mine is red) that opens up for easy access to your tools. The kit includes nail clippers, cuticle scissors, tweezers, nail nippers, and a combo tool that files, scoops and grooms.

The first step for me is figuring out what all of that stuff does and the second step is actually using them. Wish me luck!
