I started painting my nails with gel back in 2020 and eventually moved on to making my own press-ons! I almost always have a set on and like to try different designs and colors to go with events or seasons. Here are some of the items I use/recommend.

The basics
Gotta get those cuticles out of the way before any press on action. This is a simple set to get started and comes in several colors!
Professional Stainless Steel Cuticle Trimmer & Pusher
I've had a few different lamps since I started doing my own nails but a must for me is one that has time settings! I used to have one that just turned on and had to have a timer going, would not recommend lol.
GAOY UV Nail Lamp, 36 LED Fast Curing
I personally prefer a brush on glue. I bought this pack almost 3 years ago and I'm still working on finishing it!
10PCS Brush on Glue for Acrylic Nail Tips
A lot of the polish sets I've purchased come with a top coat included but I bought this bigger set and love the way it makes the nails shine.
Beetles 2Pcs 15ml No Wipe High Gloss Gel Top Coat
These are the press ons I use most often!
UNA GELLA Medium Almond Gel Nail Tips 504PCS
These are a shorter version of the nails I use all the time!
UNA GELLA 504PCS Short Almond Nail Tips
For the girlies who like coffin shape
UNA GELLA 504pcs Clear Long Coffin Nail Tips
A shorter square shape (I envy those who can pull off a square nail!)
UNA GELLA 504pcs Clear Square Nail Tips
Great set of a few brushes with dotting tools on the other end. I use my dottings tools all the time for designs!
Artdone 6PCS Double-ended Nail Art Brushes
I love these wooden cuticle pushers. They are softer on your cuticle than metal ones and they are also great for clean up when painting your nails.
200pcs Orange Sticks 4.5in Double Sided Nail Cuticle Pusher
I have a couple of these to storge my gel polishes. It makes it easy to see what you have and keeps them organized.
7-Tier Nail Polish & Sunglasses Organizer Shelf
If you can't be bothered to get each individual item, these are great “all in one” sets that included pretty much everything you need to get started doing gel/press ons.
