Manicure Supplies
For a successful at-home manicure that lasts 7 days without chipping (you read that right) these are my must-have supplies.
100% pure acetone is the fastest way to remove any existing nail polish. It also acts as a dehydrator.
Acetone
I remove my nail polish with standard cotton balls.
Cotton Balls
For natural nails, ONLY use a glass/crystal nail file. It will not create micro-tears in your nails to prevent breaks, chips, and splits. You can file in any direction.
Glass Nail File - Tweezerman
Hands down this is the best cuticle remover! It is fast, safe, and effective.
Blue Cross Cuticle Remover Liquid
I prefer a metal cuticle pusher. I feel it really gets in there and finishes the job, but never hurts me.

To dehydrate the nails, you can use 100% acetone, rubbing alchohol, or an actual dehydrator. I've been loving rubbing alcohol lately.

Finish your manicure with cuticle oil - all the way around the nail, and under the nail. Hydration will keep your polish from chipping.
