Nail Polish and Tools Recommendations 💅🏻
21
items I’m a girl who likes to save money by doing my own nails 💅🏻 As someone who has spent years growing her collection and testing out different polish and gels, here’s a list of what I think is worth the money.
Love this brand. Affordable gel polish in tons of shades
Born Pretty Nude Jelly Light Sheer Gel Polish
Great blooming gel to do floral patterns! I recommend thin coats and to use a dotting tool to apply the color you would like to “bloom”.
Double Rhythm 0.5 Oz Blooming Gel Nail Polish ...
I love the formula and the color options of these!
Magnetics
This is an affordable set that has jelly polish in tons of great colors for Summer! Use thin coats and gently “float” the brush on the surface of the nail to help provide even application and reduce the look of streaks.
COSCELIA Jelly Gel Polish Set 25pc Summer
Great polish to get an opaque black base in one stroke!
One-Coat Black | Nail Polish | Black | Creme
Amazing top coat that feels lightweight but also helps give a smooth finish for your gel polish. Great shine too!
GAOY Top Coat for Gel Nail Polish 16ml
Great for those who like to switch out their nail color often without damaging their nails!
Peely Base | Base Coat
Love using this when I want to go back to regular polish after taking off acrylic or gel polish! Helps smooth out any ridges to get a smooth base!
Smoothing Base | Base Coat
Amazing polish for getting an opaque white base without having to do multiple coats!
Not Milky White | Nail Polish | White | Creme
Very affordable and compact nail light for those who like to bring it on the go or are limited on space! It’s small and the legs fold up so it can be compact. No heat spikes and light automatically shuts off after 60 seconds.
Mini LED Lamp for GLAZE – USB & Timer
Amazing nail oil to help keep your nails strong and help them grow. Brush tip is great for easy application and great to bring in the go. I keep one in my purse and at my desk at work.
Nail Oil Pen | Nail Care
I use this all the time when doing my nails to protect any surface I’m working on. Easy to clean and provides spaces for you to swatch colors on the left of the mat.
No-Mess Mat | Accessories
Portable nail light great for on the go if you need a quick fix or great for flash curing nail designs. Small, affordable, and rechargeable.
GAOY Handheld UV Light Curing Test
Good starter set for trying nail designs! Remember to clean brushes afterward by removing any left over polish and gently cleaning with some dish soap to keep the bristles soft.
GAOY 8 Pcs Nail Art Brushes & Design Pens
Another great and affordable cuticle oil with a roll on tip instead of a brush! Easy to use and no mess!
On A Roll Apricot Cuticle Oil - Essie - Ulta Beauty
Great drill bit set for filing off builder gel and acrylic! Comes with several options depending on the use and helps with quick removal when you are ready to switch up your nail color!
21pcs 3/32 Inch Ceramic Nail Drill Bits Set
Nail drill options for removal of acrylic and builder gel. I prefer the ones with a screen to show the speed/RPM before using it on my nails!
MelodySusie: Drills
Smooth and adds great moisture for dry hands! Love using this every day and tons of amazing scents!
Moisturizing French Hand Creams | L'Occitane en Provence
Opaque coverage and smooth formula that helps make it look like your nails were done by a professional!
Nail Gel Polish - Soak-off Gels
Love having tons of options to customize my nails! Easy to use and I would recommend sealing the design or sticker with a thicker gel top coat!
Best Nail Art Stickers & Decals
I like to use their 100% jojoba oil as a nail oil to help strengthen my nails. It’s nice and affordable and also good for the ends of your hair if they are dry and/or brittle.
