So far these gel tips have been my favorite that i’ve tried.
AILLSA GEL POLISH : False Nail Tips
Any type of overhead or tripod light will work !! These won’t be in your way as much and make it easier to see what you’re working with !
Overhead Desk Lights for Home Workspaces
If you’re doing press ons, which I recommend as a beginner, you’ll need atleast two of these.
Nail Stand Holder
Any type of glue or sticky dots will work, you just need them for your nails to stay on the stands while designing.
Glue Dots
Doesn’t matter what brand, these will also be a must if you’re doing nails.
Tip Cutter Nails
Doesn’t need to be this specific brand, just the most popular. My advice is get a decent amount of colors in the beginning, but don’t waste your money on a billion colors you won’t be using right away.

A flash cure light for application, and a big uv lamp for 100% curing and designs.

Brushes and dotting tools will also help TREMENDOUSLY with your designing journey. You do NOT need to spend $$$ on “professional” brushes.
Nail Art Brushes & Pens
Acrylic powder is obviously mandatory to buy when you’re doing acrylic nails. You do not need this if you’re only doing press on’s, especially if you never do them on the person.
Acrylic & Dipping Powder
Doesn’t matter a brand or price, you’ll need monomer for your acrylic powder.

For that water affect… not needed but always a cute extra !
Bloom Gel Beauty Products for Nails
Any type of 3d gel for nail art. Again not needed but very suggested for higher-end designs.
3D Gel Nail Art and Sculpting Gels
The pens aren’t necessary but I love them, makes it so much easier to apply !
Cuticle Oil Pens for Nail Care
Any pallet works, but I do recommend one if you’re doing any art work at all with your polishes.

The Orders🛍️
Choose a color, print your brand. There is box templates on Etsy you can purchase and print outlines on these papers. You can also use these for thank you cards!
Cardstock in Craft Paper
Trust me, you’ll need one of these for your orders. It makes your cards, boxes, and anything else for your brand a lot easier to access.
Cutting Machines | Cricut Shop
Also doesn’t matter where you get them from, but a baggie / box for shipping your orders will be needed.
Shop Durable Poly Mailers for Secure Shipping
You won’t necessarily need this website/app but I do recommend it. You can design your brands logo, thank you cards, sizing kits, and more.

Doesn’t matter what specific plastic you get, if you use the type of boxes I use, you’ll need this for the little window section.
