    At the drug store you can buy the better quality implements singly in the nail polish section. Revlon or La Crosse brands are good. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for a sale. You can also go to beauty supply stores which have a better selection of things like files, polish removers. I have never found sets to be as good as buying just what you need singly and paying more for good quality. What I use are finger nail and toe nail clippers (Trim brand is good), cuticle scissors, nail scissors, cuticle pushers. Hindu sticks are good but hard to find (it is a stone for rubbing off cuticles...heavens knows why they are called hindu sticks). At stores like dollar stores or drugstores you can also get foot callous equipment. The one like a little grater works well.

    I haven't used that one. The ones I like are Miracle Foot Repair (which is also good as hand cream before bed) (you can get at Walmart) or Himalaya foot cream.

    I actually had most of the tools in the kit (bought it back from India) but for small things I stopped by at CVS, you can always chop the coupons from the weekly paper!!! If you want some expensive once drop by at ulta they have some nice kits!!! But I have noticed that the salons use some ordinary once from the chinese market you can check at chinese market too!!! I only have taken some face creams, body lotions and moisturizers from bath and body works but havent tried any foot cremes though!!!

    Hi..

    I bought a good pedicure set from J.C.Penny... But if you want you can buy everything separate in Sally's beauty supply if you have one near your place...

    One thing: I have yet to see any scissors made in China that were of any quality above horrible. I have nail and cuticle scissors that were made in Pakistan that actually are pretty good. I would stay away from any "precision" instruments from China in the nail dept.
