This is my go-to when I need to do my nails quick!! It has a built in base coat and top coat! But tbh it looks so good, I use it even when I have the time because the light shade is the perfectttt. You only need 2 coats of this, no separate base coat...

Trust me - the base coat makes all the difference. I use this one from OPI, and my nails don't peel up on the sides! I repeat, no peeling up!! I stand by this base coat forever and one bottle has lasted me like 2 years at this point

This! The only one I've found where you don't have to wipe it afterwards like at the salon. You just cure and done. A no-wipe top coast is THE way to go please trust. Again I love OPI and this bottle has lasted me forever.

Okay this is a MUST if you're doing your nails at home!! I mainly use the scraper after I soak and drill my nails to get any extra polish/gel off, and it makes removing everything sooo much easier. The set also comes with tools to push back and clean...

I just use straight acetone to soak off my old nails after I drill and it's great! I always by this one from Amazon because the other ones make my nails thin, and this has oils so my nails don't get dry and thin!
