Not licensed or a professional. Just a budget friendly mom that learned over the course of a few years how to do my nails at home. YouTube and Amazon are my girls for tutorials and products.

Nail tools
Acrylic powder, liquid and prep!
Gel polishes
Love her. She works great. Does the job. Great price too.
Top & Base Coat - Gel Nail Polish(15ml)
*Not a professional* these are so affordable and they have literally hundreds of colors. I have roughly 50+ colors and they’ve lasted me awhile as I only do my own nails!
Beetles Gel Polish® - Cruelty-Free Mani That You Can Do at Home
A little more expensive but they have a great selection too! Be careful where buying because some dupe companies are out there and the product is noticeably different!
DND Gel
Another great brand. On the spendier side but so many beautiful options!
Gelish Gel Nail Polish
Nail tools
I’ve tried several of their models, all really good quality. Not a professional grade I’m sure but honestly if you’re being safe and doing it correctly they work awesome.
Nail Drills
Melody Susie girl through and through. I’ve only tried this one but she’s a champ! Learn the difference between UV and LED. It does matter.
Nail Lamps
Know your bits! Do the research! Be safe and careful! These will damage your nails if used incorrectly. Great product, great price. Again. Not a professional.
Nail Drill Bits
Know your product and what tools you’ll need. Another from this brand that I’ll stand by. Their liner brushes are amazing for those fine details!
Nail Art Brushes For Beginners and Professionals
Acrylic powder, liquid and prep!
Honestly the best monomer I’ve found. Highly scented. I believe they have a slow cure version too that isn’t as scented but I found this one to work best for my pace.
Nail Liquid Monomer for Acrylics, 32 oz
Works along with the monomer. They have so many colored powders and they’re honestly easy to work with if you know what you’re doing and the correct powder to liquid ratio.
Professional Acrylic Nail Powders
Instead of a primer and dehydrator, this does both. Helps retention and prevents lifting if used correctly.
Protein Bond, 1/4 oz | Nail Bonder for Acrylics and Gels
They have beautiful colors and so many other things too! Found them on tik tok!
Elegance Nail Supply
Her YouTube channel is where I learned the most! She has her own line of products that I’ve tried and loved! Well worth the investment and time I spent learning.
Suzie's Nail Career Education Inc
She has a slow cure collection for beginners and a normal cure collection for more experienced. A great product line and a great Canadian based beauty educator.
