My favorite tips at the moment. I find these pretty easy to use and love that they have half sizes. And once you know your size you can buy the bags instead of the entire case!

My all time must have. I will not do my gel-x without using this peel off base. No more soak offs!

This is the system I use to apply my Gel-X tips. I like the extend gel and feel it’s not to thick so it’s easy to use for beginners

This extend gel is HEMA free so it’s better for you/if you have sensitive skin

I recently got this as a gift and it is my new favorite lamp for applying the Gel-X. It’s so easy to use and has a motion sensing option!

You don’t necessarily NEED a drill (I’ve done my nails for a year without it) but it doesn’t make it so much easier especially to buff your nails!

I have gone through two other organizing bags and have quickly outgrown them so I’m moving on to this rolling luggage! It has so much space
