💅 Nail Prep Essentials
Everything I’d use before actually starting my nails 💅 files, buffers, cuticle tools and all the little prep essentials that make such a difference to the final result
One of those basic things I’d always want in my nail drawer. I use buffer blocks to smooth everything out before starting a set, and I love that these come in a bigger pack so I’m not constantly running out
Pink Nail Buffer Blocks
I always need a good stack of files when I’m doing my nails because they get used sooo quickly. I’d use these for shaping the length, cleaning up the edges and smoothing everything out before I start the actual set.
100/180 Grit Nail File Set
I’d keep this next to my nail setup because my cuticles always look so much better after using oil. I love putting a little on at the end of a set so everything looks cleaner, shinier and more finished.

Acrylic & Gel Essentials🫙
Everything I’d want for doing acrylic or gel nails at home from acrylic powders and brushes to gel polish, builder gel and all the little essentials for creating a full set
I’d use this whenever I want those raised 3D details instead of a completely flat design. It’s such a fun way to make flowers, swirls or little textured accents and make a set look way more detailed
🌸 3D Sculpture Nail Gel
I’d pick this mostly because the bottle already makes it feel sooo much more expensive than it is. I love having a few pretty gel shades like this for simple sets when I don’t feel like doing loads of nail art.
Luxury Gel Polish
This is the kind of gel I’d keep in my kit for building or strengthening longer nails. I like that there are different nude and pink shades, so you can get a really clean base without needing loads of extra color on top.

🎨Nail Art Tools
My favorite tools for actually creating nail designs 🎨 brushes, dotting tools and all the little things that make nail art so much easier to do at home
Such a pretty little addition to a nail desk 🌸 I’d use this for mixing gel colors, chrome, glitter or nail art paint without making a mess. It also makes the whole setup look way more put togethe
Pink Agate Nail Art Mixing Palette
I’d use these for all the tiny details that are impossible with a normal brush. They look perfect for thin French tips, little swirls, stars and those super clean line designs
🖌️ Ultra-Fine Nail Art Liner Brushes
I’d use these whenever I want to do tiny flowers, dots or little heart details without struggling with a brush. Having different tip sizes makes it so much easier to switch between super small details and bigger designs

✨ Nail Charms, Gems & Decorations
For when plain nails just aren’t enough 😭✨ rhinestones, charms, glitter and cute decorations I’d use to make a basic set look way more special.
This charm mix has sooo many cute designs in one set ✨ I love the little bows, hearts, butterflies and pink gems for adding something extra to a simple manicure or accent nail
Pink & Gold Nail Charm Mix
I’d pick this set when I want a really girly nail look without having to buy every color separately. The little bows come in sooo many shades, so it’s easy to match them with whatever gel color I’m using.
Colorful Bow Nail Charms Set
I’d use these when I want my nails to have a darker, more detailed look instead of something super girly. The different gold cross designs make it really easy to create a full matching set without every nail looking exactly the same.

💗 Press-On & Extension Essentials
Everything I’d want for doing press-ons or nail extensions at home 💗 from nail tips and glue to stands and tools that make the whole process easier
I’d use these every time I’m designing press-ons because holding loose nail tips while painting them is such a struggle. The magnetic stands keep everything in place and make detailed nail art sooo much easier.
💗 Pink Magnetic Nail Tip Stands
I’d use this every time I’m working with longer nail tips because it makes getting the length even sooo much quicker. Way easier than trying to cut every tip by hand and hoping they all match.
✂️ Magnetic Nail Tip Cutter
I’d keep a big pack like this around because nail glue is one of those things I somehow always run out of at the worst time. Super handy for press-ons, fixing a loose tip or keeping extras in your nail kit
50-Pack Nail Glue for Press-Ons
🖥️ Nail Desk & Practice Essentials
Basically everything I’d want on my dream nail desk 🖥️💅 practice hands, nail polish holders, palettes, hand rests, organizers and little tools that make your setup feel like a mini nail studio.
I’d use these to test every new gel color before putting it on my nails. It makes choosing shades sooo much easier, and I love having all the colors together on one ring instead of opening every bottle
Clear Nail Swatch Sticks
I’d use this whenever I want to practice a new shape or design before doing it on myself. I love that you can position the hand however you need, so it feels way more realistic than just practicing on loose tips.
Adjustable Nail Practice Hand
I’d definitely want this over my nail desk because good lighting makes such a difference when you’re doing tiny details. I love that the curved shape lights up the whole workspace without having a normal lamp constantly in the way
💡 Curved LED Nail Desk Lamp
🧴 Nail Removal & Organization
The less exciting but sooo necessary part 😭🧴 removal tools, storage and organizers I’d use to keep my nail stuff clean, easy to find and not all over my room.
I always need these when I’m doing my nails because regular cotton pads leave little fibers everywhere. I’d use these for cleaning the nail plate, wiping off dust and removing the sticky layer without leaving fluff behind
Pink Lint-Free Nail Wipes
I’d use these whenever I’m removing gel because wrapping every finger in foil gets annoying so fast. You can just clip them over the soaked pads and leave them on while the gel softens — way less messy and much easier
Pink Gel Polish Soak-Off Clips
I’d use this at the very start of every set because clean cuticles make such a difference. The little loop end is handy for cleaning around the nail while the other side helps push everything back neatly before prep.
