I’m a mom and the salon is not an option. With its outrageous prices and all the other chaos, I prefer to do mine at home. So, here are some nail items I have used and love.

Press on Nail Supplies
Supplies I would recommend for a seamless application and longer wear time.
I highly recommend using a nail dehydrator before applying press ons. You don’t want oil on your nail because that will break down the glue.
Nail Dehydrator
Makes application wayyyy less messy
Brush On Nail Dash Glue
Highly recommend using this to sanitize your natural nail before applying nails
Nail Prep Pads
This is helpful for removing glue from your press on nail. I accidentally get glue on the tops of my nails and that takes it off
Cuticle Oil
This cream is nice and it will strengthen nails
ONYX Professional Hard as Hoof Strengthening Coconut Nail Cream - 1oz
If you don’t use a nail dehydrator, this will work too! The goal is to deprive your natural nail of oil so that they press on it will stick better
ONYX Brands Pure Acetone Nail Polish Remover - 16 fl oz
You wanna do this before you apply or press on nails as well. This will help sanitize the nail because the package is so large. It will last you a long time!
Alcohol Swabs - 200ct - up&up™
Viral nail glue for press on nails
Drip & Clog Proof Nail Glue
Press on nail STORAGE
I highly recommend keeping the extra nails from your press on nail sets! I use them to do mixed manis. Here are some products I use to store the extras!
So awesome for storing extra press on nails
Opret 15 Grids Bead Organizer Box (4 Pack)
Another great storage idea for extra press on nails

I tried these gel strips recently for my nails and really liked it. They cure with a LED light and get hard which is really cool.
I love these nail wraps that cure with a light. This set comes with the light, which is really nice because normally that light is $20.

This will help you to remove your gel nail strips whenever you are ready to take them off. This will not damage your nail.

I personally feel like the gel strips are pretty glossy already, but this is if you want some extra gloss for the top of your nails

They also make gel strips for your toenail specifically, which is awesome. They also cure by the light as well.
