Collection: Nail Accessories

Quick answer: nail accessories help organise the workstation, apply products, remove dust, display colours and photograph finished work. Choose each accessory according to its function and material.

Types of nail accessories

• Pump dispensers: dispense liquids and solutions in controlled amounts, helping reduce waste and contamination of the container.
• Display tips: used to present colours, collections and nail art. They are not tips intended for nail extensions.
• Palettes and dishes: work surfaces for colours and products used during nail-art services.
• Nail dust brushes: help remove dust generated during preparation and filing.
• Brush holders: keep brushes organised and help protect the bristles when not in use.
• Hand rests: improve client comfort and support a more stable working position.
• Macro lens: used to photograph close-up details, colours and nail-art precision.

How to choose the right accessories

• Choose accessories that are compatible with the products and technique being used.
• Check whether the accessory is disposable, reusable, washable or suitable for disinfection.
• Prefer tools that can be stored away from dust and residue.
• Organise the workstation by separating clean, used and disposable accessories.
• For photography, choose supports and lenses suited to the working distance and level of detail required.

Hygiene and maintenance

Each accessory should be handled according to its material and intended use. Disposable items must be discarded after use; reusable items should be cleaned, disinfected or otherwise processed according to the manufacturer's instructions and the professional workstation protocol.

Not all plastic or decorative accessories can be sterilised. Always check material compatibility before using chemicals or equipment.
