items I spent a whole year trying to avoid going to the salon so I could save some money. I’ve tried so many products through trial and error and here’s everything that ACTUALLY worked and turned out to be salon quality on a budget
So many different colors and variations for these! A good quality gel polish
VANREESA 53Pcs Gel Nail Polish Kit UV Light
I have such bad cuticles and this helps so much! I put this on, leave for 5 mins and then cut them off and scrap off the excess
Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover, Aloe
My favorite top and base, the old reliable. I know if I am using these two, I can count on the color of my gel to be vibrant and LAST
Vishine 15ml No Wipe Top & Base Coat Set
This color is just too good… I think this bright baby pink has become my signature. This gel is a little thicker too which helps not have too many layers and the color is just *chefs kiss*
NXJ INFILILA Thick Pink Gel Nail Polish 0.5fl
My cuticles are so bad and grow so quickly. I didn’t realize that a high quality and heavy duty tool makes such a difference in getting them cleaned up!
Utopia Care Stainless Steel Cuticle Pusher & Nail Cleaner
Took me a little bit to get the hang of this but once I did, it rocks! A little goes a long way and make sure there are no bubbles or gaps

A good drill is so important when doing your own nails. Make sure to start slow and work your way up!
MelodySusie USB Nail Drill PC120I 20000RPM
The best duo I have found so far for nail prep. Definitely needed, especially if you’re doing press ons, tips, etc
Morovan Natural Nail Prep Dehydrate & Primer
I actually love these! They are thin and bendable so they feel great on toes. I actually don’t use the color and buff them out, then apply my own color
LoveOurHome 120pc Pink Press On Toenails
Really good and flexible. They are pre grinded so you can ensure they have the grit to stay on. I have glued these and used gel to get them to stick and both work great. They are easy to trim, sand and make them your own
UNA GELLA 504pcs XS Short Square Nail Tips
Best nail glue in the game and you can’t change my mind. You really only need a little. The packaging is great so you don’t have pry it open every time you want to use it.
Beauty Secrets Drip & Clog Proof Nail Glue
These files are so good! Better than anything I’ve found in the store. They file the game cleanly and help so much with press ons.
Professional Nail Files Emery Board 12pcs
I’m not super picky when it comes to cuticle oils but I like this one a lot because you can pick your scent and that makes a huge difference on how often you put it on
C CARE Sweet Almond Cuticle Oil 2.5oz
Great cuticle oil and really good scent variety. Plus they are so cute!
Blossom Rose Cuticle Oil, Hydrating, 0.5oz
Classic option and a reliable! Not much scent. I usually have this one in my car on the go. I love the vitamin E too
Sally Hansen Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil
Listen I know these always seem like a silly extra step that’s not needed but I promise they make such a difference
