Anyone have a suggestion for a nice looking smooth working set of nail grooming tools?
Grooming the nails

Five or six years ago I bought some Muji Japan nail clippers (I believe they were recommended on The Wirecutter), and they have worked out great. Well-constructed, and have held together perfectly. Much better than the cheap drugstore ones I had before.
By the way, I recently went for a (rare) high-quality spa manicure and pedicure. So great. Treat yourself!

You must have read my mind, my friend. I'm getting ready for a pedicure in the coming weeks. I believe the price is $55 for an hour? This is a local place nearby. Since I've never had this done, does that seem like a fair price to you?
They do have these Muji clippers on Amazon - are they similar?
Hard to tell if those are the same, but looks like they could be. The plastic case is definitely similar. Try them out!
Spa manicure/pedicures in my area (San Francisco Bay Area) go for 3-4x the price you quoted. Not sure where you are located, but that sounds like a deal!

I think most nail grooming sets that aren't super-"cheap" work fine. Personally, I've been well enough with some clippers and a file–Tweezermans
To complete my earlier post, I've been using those Tweezermans (I think I picked them up at Target or something) and a glass nail file for some time, and gotten good results.
Not a set, but I purchased the No-Mes fingernail clipper years ago. I love it. After a month or so of owning it I chucked all my expensive Japanese ones out.
