Investing in a GOOD lamp is important to ensure your gel is fully curing. Do not skimp on this part. You will regret it in the long run. I have had this one for almost 7 years. I may need to replace it soon 🫣
18G Classic Light Gel Polish Nail Bundle
Just like the lamp is important, so is the drill. A cheap drill is useable, but it will make the process so much harder.
MelodySusie 30000 RPM Nail Drill SC320H
Nail Art Essentials
Do not get the cheap brushes. You will regret it. These make French and other designs easier (it will still take practice).
Winstonia Nail Art Striping Brushes - 3 pcs
These are SUPER tiny but great for filling in sparse areas or just as a cute and dainty design.
2880pcs SS3 1.3mm AB Nail Rhinestones
I’ve never had issues with losing a gem with this glue.
Makartt Rhinestone Nail Glue 30ML
Nails/Tips
All BTArtBox nails are my go to for quick and cute nails at home.
BTArtbox Red French Tip Press On Nails 150Pcs
When classy and put together is the vibe.
BTArtbox Soft Gel French Tip Press On Nails
These are probably my favorite nails for the fall.
BTArtbox Press on French Tip Nails - Almond
Basic Necessities
I cannot lie. The girlies are right about this being the best top coat.
GEL TOPCOAT Gloss (8oz) - Kupa Inc
I love this glue. The consistency is beginner friendly and has an amazing hold!
Makartt Gel Nail Glue for Press on Nails 15ML
This product definitely works. I get about 2 weeks of wear before my nails start to lift and I need to take them off.
Taking the nails off is the WORST part. This makes it a lot easier. I don't think I can go back to not using this.
