Hybrid manicure has become one of the most popular treatments in beauty salons worldwide. Durability, shine, and a variety of colors attract both clients and stylists. Are you wondering what manicure tools are essential to start your adventure with hybrids? At Easy Nails, we suggest what should be in your starter kit.
Basic manicure tools
Without the right manicure tools, performing a perfect hybrid manicure would be impossible. Let’s start with the basics. Every stylist should equip themselves with files of different gradations. Why? Different gradations allow for precise nail preparation and also for matting the plate before applying the base. Additionally, glass or metal files are an excellent choice for gently smoothing edges.
Another essential tool is the polishing block. It ensures the perfect smoothness of the nail surface, which is crucial for the durability of a hybrid manicure. Cuticle nippers or a pusher for pushing them back are also a must-have in every stylist’s kit. Ultimately, aesthetics are fundamental, right?
Lamp for curing hybrids
The UV/LED lamp is the heart of every hybrid manicure set. It is responsible for curing the hybrid polish, ensuring its durability and resistance to damage. Which one to choose? It’s worth investing in a lamp with at least 36W power, which will shorten the curing time and ensure even action on the entire nail surface. An interesting option is lamps with a motion sensor that automatically turn on when the hand is inserted.
Set of hybrid polishes
A wide range of colors and brands of hybrid polishes is available on the market. When choosing polishes, it’s worth focusing on quality. Why? Better products provide a longer-lasting effect, do not chip, and do not lose shine. Initially, it’s worth choosing a few basic colors, such as classic red, delicate pink, or elegant black. Over time, you can expand the palette with more sophisticated shades, adjusting it to clients’ preferences.
Base and top coat
Base and top coat are the foundation of a durable hybrid manicure. The base protects and prepares the nail plate, while the top coat adds shine and protects the color from fading. There are different types of top coats – matte, glossy, and even with a glitter effect. At Easy Nails, we recommend experimenting with different finishes to surprise your clients.
