The At-Home Gel Manicure Everyone's Obsessed With: 15 Cult Nail Kits, Press-Ons & Strengtheners That Outlast a Salon Set
15
items Salon gel manicures cost $60 and chip anyway. This is the at-home version that actually lasts: the Manucurist Green Flash LED kit, OPI GELement and its starter kit, Essie Gel Couture, the xPRESS/ON and Glamnetic press-ons you can put on in five minut...
The full at-home gel setup in one box: LED lamp, base, colour and top coat. The polish peels off instead of needing an acetone soak.
Green Flash Routine Set, Gel Nail Polish Kit with LED Lamp - Manucurist | Ulta Beauty
OPI's gel-effect system without a lamp. The starter kit is the cheapest way to test whether you like it before buying shades.
GELement Starter Kit - OPI | Ulta Beauty
Refill shades for the GELement system. Gel-level shine and wear, but you take it off like normal polish.
GELement - OPI | Ulta Beauty
No lamp, no kit, just colour plus its top coat. The most forgiving pick here if you have never done gel at home.
Gel Couture Longwear Nail Polish - Essie | Ulta Beauty
Fall shades as a press-on. Five minutes, zero drying time, and they hold up through a weekend of typing.
xPRESS/ON Fall Press-On Nail Collection - OPI | Ulta Beauty
A classic French set with no salon appointment. The tip line is printed on, so there is nothing to freehand.
xPRESS/ON French Tip Press On Nails - OPI | Ulta Beauty
The reusable ones. Stronger adhesive than most press-ons, so expect closer to two weeks than a few days.
The Original Press-On Nails - Glamnetic | Ulta Beauty
The cheapest set here and genuinely fine. Good for testing a length and shape before you commit to pricier ones.
CORE French Press On Nails - Kiss | Ulta Beauty
Not a colour, a treatment. Wear it alone on bare nails for a few weeks if yours peel or split after gel.
Nail Envy Original Nail Strengthener - OPI | Ulta Beauty
The overnight repair step for nails wrecked by gel or acrylic. Goes on bare, sinks in, leaves no shine.
Repair Mode Bond Building Nail Serum - OPI | Ulta Beauty
Long-wearing with a huge shade range, and a favourite with people avoiding the harsher polish ingredients.
Nail Lacquer - Zoya | Ulta Beauty
Dries in about a minute, with an angled brush built for your non-dominant hand. The weeknight polish.
Expressie Quick-Dry Nail Polish - Essie | Ulta Beauty
The top coat that makes the Green Flash system last. Skipping it is why people say at-home gel chips.
Xtrem Flash Long-Lasting Gel Nail Polish Top Coat - Manucurist | Ulta Beauty
A sheer wash that evens out nails stained or yellowed by dark polish. The between-manicures fix.
KUR Illuminating Nail Concealer - Londontown | Ulta Beauty
The cult indie brand people actually collect. Holographic and flake finishes you will not find at a drugstore.
Specialty Nail Polish - Holo Taco | Ulta Beauty
