gel must haves
Some of my favorite gel products for beginners!
This is one of my favorite top coats and was the first one I ever bought when I started to do my nails at home. The glossy finish makes my nails look so professional and elegant.
Beetles Gel Top Coat
This base coat ensures that my nails stay on for around two weeks. Some other base coats have caused burning and irritation, but this one has been amazing and worthwhile. It's tacky and lets the colored polish fully stick to your nails.
Beetles Gel Base Coat
A UV lamp is a staple of doing gel nails at home. I love having different time options because it makes things efficient, but also ensures nails are fully cured and there's no bacteria underneath.
Beetles Pink UV /LED Nail Lamp
blooming gel is one of the best beginner tools that make your nails look professional. it's so easy to learn and fun to experiment with!
Beetles Blooming Gel Polish
this is one of the base coats i use for french tips especially!
Beetles Nude Builder Gel
this is perfect for people who like vegan and cruelty free companies! because it's vegan, there are way less allergic reactions (which i have gotten from beetles).

the perfect red for festive times or if you just love sparkle! it is effortless and beautiful on it's own or incorporated into nail art.

These are staple nail-care items that keep your nails and cuticles feeling healthy, nourished, and strong.
This growth tonic makes my nails feel so strong and durable. I have nails that naturally break easily, and this eliminates that. It can be used underneath polish but also looks glossy and elegant on bare nails.
Lights Lacquer Growth Tonic
This cuticle oil has been a staple for me for years. It makes my cuticles look and feel so nourished and healthy. It's easy to apply and adds shine to your hands!
Vitamin E Nail & Cuticle Oil
Having a clean-up brush is a necessity if you have shaky hands or make a tiny mistake. This brush shape is nice for getting into the cuticles.

this is perfect for people who have dents and crevices in their nails because it creates a smooth finish to apply color on top.
Fill Me In Ridge Filler Base Coat
this is one of the best products because of how gentle it is on the nails. i prefer to use a glass nail file with it for the perfect amount of exfoliation. it literally softens your cuticles in 10 seconds!
Instant Cuticle Remover Oil
cuticle nippers were a game changer for my nails, especially during prep. it makes it feel like a real salon and makes the finished look so much more professional looking. especially for the cuticle pickers like me:)
