Polish & Necessities
When I first started out my at home nail journey a few years ago my first gel polish ever was Beetles. I’ve tried many other gel polish brands and still find myself going back to them. I find them on Amazon - some you can buy in bundles of 24 or even...
Beetles Gel Polish® - Cruelty-Free Mani That You Can Do at Home
Luminary is my girl! I’ve repeatedly bought the shade “balance” which is a perfect light pink that also works perfectly as a base manicure for french tips. This product provides amazing structure and strength, allowing my natural nails to grow up. It...
Luminary Nail Systems
I love me a good 180 grit nail file. Sharp enough to smooth and shape acrylic or builder gel but also soft enough to not cut my skin and damage my natural nails.
Teenitor 6 pcs Nail File & Buffer Set
Absolutely great for on-the-go and easy packaging. The extra pockets on the sides can hold all of my supplies safely and the separate compartment for my gel polishes is amazing. The description says it can hold 70 bottles but I have definitely squeez...
BAFASO Double Layer Nail Polish Organizer 70 Bottles
Comes in a pack! Essential step after buffing nails to ensure your polish is going to be applied on dust free nails. The key to a manicure lasting (especially at home) is good prep!
modelones 15ml Nail Dehydrator & Primer
Works wonders! The four different timer options is amazing, the digital countdown is very helpful, and it’s touch screen! It also comes with the cord to plug it in.
Gugusure 168W UV LED Nail Lamp for Home & Salon
When I first started doing my nails at home this was the first builder gel I’ve ever used. It being a brush on made it super user friendly and it comes in multiple different shades. I no longer use this exact brand BUT, I would gladly return to it an...

So so many good color options!!!!

Drills & Bits
Cordless nail drill!!! I have the pink/blue drill and I have zero complaints about it. The drill shows you what rpm you’re using and comes with multiple bits. It is also compatible with other bits you may purchase later down the road.
Nail Drill
Love this bit! I have the fine version and it works great! The round edge applies extra safety around the cuticle and skin area of your nail. It works great to remove gel polish, acrylic and builder gel.
PANA 3/32" Smooth Round Top Safety Carbide Bit
Love! Doing cuticle work can very quickly turn into a painful experience leaving your nails looking red and bloody. This bit allows me to lift my cuticles which makes for an easier clipping process later.
NashlyNails E-File Nail Drill Bit for Manicure
Not Essential but Def Recommend
Not extremely necessary but definitely beneficial. Having to clean up the flying dust after drilling or filing can definitely be annoying. The dust collector is user friendly and holds a lot of dust, the only “downside” I would say is they can be noi...
Nail Dust Collector
Perfect for when I get stuck staying up late doing my nails. It allows me to see absolutely everything when painting my nails and completing designs. I love that I can fold the lamp down to get a closer light on my nails, and it folds for easy storag...
White Crown LED Dimmable Desk Lamp USB
Yes yes yes!! These work so well when removing a mistake or dehydrating the nail bed. It doesn’t leave any dust or left over material like a paper towel does and soaks up acetone extremely well.
Lint Free Nail Wipes
Super great for storing acetone on-the-go without spills. This small container also fits perfectly in the nail organizer I also recommended. It makes doing nails much much easier Now that I have this I have less of a chance of messing up my nails and...
Push Down Dispenser
Comes with many size options, lengths, and shapes! They also come pre-etched but I still recommend drilling them a bit. I like that they aren’t full nail length and they apply/hold well. To apply mine I typically just use a base gel and I’ve had no t...
