To push back the cuticles from the nail plate, just be very gentle. I prefer wooden sticks and use them only once, then throw them away. ❤️
BTYMS 300 Count 4.5" Orange Wood Cuticle Sticks
Personally I don't use it often, only for cuticles. You need to be really skilled for this, for home use is not something you need that badly. Plus if you want a good one you need to pay pretty spicy. Overall, it's good because it's quick, downside i...

Primer GALAXY - ALEXANDAR Cosmetics
Base Gels, Color & Top Coat
Next step is base coat,you can use clear ones or coloured if you're in hurry. These one are really thick and you need a bit of practice to achieve clean applying.💛 For example in second picture i have Soft Peach Rubber base 🍑
Rubber Base GALAXY UV/LED - ALEXANDAR Cosmetics
Galaxy is really good professional brand and easy to use, they are pigmented and often you need just one coat. I like to dry it in lamp for 120 seconds each layer. ✨
Gel Polish UV/LED GALAXY Hybrid 7ml - Let It Snow S796

Nail Polish Holder
When you want to add a little bit more sparkle. Apply it on bare top coat and then dry it in lamp. I personally like to add another layer and dry it second time to make sure it doesn't fall off. 💎
