Prep And Care 💕
If your doing nail treatments at home I recommend these, cheap at the price, and well worth the value. Saves your hands getting any products on and protects from any infections.
Disposable, Medical & Surgical Gloves | First Aid
Perfect for sanitizing hands before treatments, removes grease, dirt and bacteria to help make your treatments run smoother.
Hand Sanitizer Gels | Antibacterial Cleansing Gel | Hand Care
I choose this one over a cheaper brand because it actually works much quicker than the unbranded, I also find it lasts just as long because it is quite strong.
Cutex Ultra-Powerful Nail Polish Remover 200ml
After nail prep I like to paint this on the nail plate to prime the nail ready for treatments, this has been a game changer for clients, makes results last much longer.
Mylee Acid Free Primer 15Ml
I always advise to give nails a good scrub with this before applying any nail treatments, helps remove any unwanted grease and dirt from nails to ensure smooth application.
Superdrug Nail Brush | Make Up
I suffer from very severe dry hands, I swear by these gloves, I wear them to bed at night with a good layer of the body shop hemp cream, my hands are noticeably better by the morning.
20 Pcs White Cotton Gloves for Hand Care
Tools And Equipment 💕
I recommend this set, because it does both nails and toenails, I advise you soak hands or feet for a good 10 mins in warm water to soften the nail plate to ensure smooth trimming.
brushworks Toe and Nail Clipper Set
Always start your nail care with a cuticle pusher, I use this to push cuticles back before trimming, helps to remove dead cuticle and make the nail plate longer when completed.
Studio London Cuticle Pusher Cleaner
I use this to trim cuticle after pushing back the dead cuticle to achieve better results when applying nail vanish or gelish.
Studio London Cuticle Nipper
I love this glass nail file, this is great for filing nails to desired shape, and also good that you can wash this to keep it bacteria free, soak in some barbicide to kill any bacteria.
Studio London Glass Nail File
This 7 way nail buffer is perfect for achieving the results you want, you can use this before painting to give the nail a nice clean finish ready for your nail products, also helps to remove ridges and if you don’t want polish you can go through the ...
Studio London 7 Way Nail Buffer
Finishing products
I like to use this after applying my nail polish, but make sure you have given a good hour before applying, my best advice would be to pop it on at night and let it work overnight.
Superdrug Nail & Cuticle Oil
Need a hand pick me up? Sick of dry, chapped hands? This is perfect, I love to use these once a week when I have spare time, makes my hands look so much healthier and younger after treating them with these gloves, I can also still do things when on b...
BEAUTYPRO Hand Therapy Gloves with Removable Fingertips
This is my holy grail hand cream, I suffer with very bad dry hands and this instantly helps Soothe, protect and make my hands look more human, you will not be disappointed!
Hemp Hand Protector
Base And Colour 💕
This is amazing, it literally does 2 jobs in one, I always apply this to the nail before adding colour to prevent future staining, I also add this after I’ve applied my desired colour to make my nails last longer.
Barry M All in One Base & Topcoat
This is such a beautiful but basic colour, almost gives the French polish look, great that it is also hardening and lasts longer than some polishes I have had.
Barry M Sheer Strength Nail Paint - Sheer Bliss
Another of my favourite summer colours, I love the bright pink and coral tones, perfect for holidays or days out in the sunshine, if your a hot pink type of girl, get this 💕
Barry M Sheer Strength Hardening Nail Paint - Sheer Thrill
I use this to create a French manicure, I apply this over a layer of the peachy pink colour and then lock in with another coat of that before top coating.
Barry M In A Flash Quick Dry Nail Paint - Whirl White
One of my favourite summer colours,I love this because it gives the gelish effect without having to go have your nails done at the salon.
Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint - Orange
I absolutely love a black, as I say just like my soul 🤣 I love this around Halloween time or even at Christmas time for parties with a sparkle layer over the top, perfect results every time!
