My Nail Care Kit

Do you have a nail care kit that you bring with you every time you visit a nail salon or go on a trip? If your answer is yes, then we already have something in common! :)

First, a bit of history. I was a regular nail salon client after college. It was my ultimate escape and I do love to be pampered that way. Then came the time that I was buying nail polishes and bringing them with me when I visit a nail spa. Eventually, I got myself a small bag to conveniently carry them. I also learned how to clean my own nails as my passion for nails/nail art grew. Consequently, my nail care kit grew as well.

Here is how my current mani bag looks:


Mine measures 7 inches in width, 5 inches in height, and an inch thick. It's just big enough for my tiny hands to hold comfortably and small enough to slide into any of my everyday bags or luggage without taking up too much space.

Just to show you how thin this mani bag is, here's an unzipped view:


Perhaps you've already noticed that most of the contents were repacked. I like it better this way since I don't need to bring full containers.

Here's a closer look:


Contents of my mani bag:

• Dazzle Dry Trinity Kit (nail prep, base and top coat)
• At least 2 nail polishes. Often, I bring minis.
• Dazzle Dry Lemongrass Nail Polish Remover
• Dazzle Dry Cuticle Oil
• Burt's Bees Cuticle and Hand Cream
• Cutex Cuticle Softener/Remover
• Metal Pusher
• Orange Sticks
• Nail File
• Nail Cutter
• Alcohol
• Cotton
• Nail Nipper (not in photo as I seldom use it)

I also have a nail buffer but I don't carry it with me all time. Friction is bad for the nails. And since I have very thin nails, I shy away from buffing. I also don't use a nail brush. I use a towel instead when I clean my nails.

You might ask where are the nail art tools? I have a separate bag for that ONLY if I need to bring them for a workshop or when my travel itinerary permits me to do some nail art. As a personal habit, I wear nail art before a trip and just change polish if I get moody. :)


Most girls I know carry a make-up kit. I carry a nail care kit because I can't paint my face without looking like a clown. But I think what is important here is that each one of us have something we cannot be without and it says perhaps a little of who we are.

If you have a kit just like this, this is probably the time to show it off because Dazzle Dry Philippines is having a small promo.
