Hands down THE best top coat I have used! It’s a non wipe top coat so you don’t get that inhibition layer (sticky layer) as some polishes have. My nail shine looks as good 3 weeks later+ as it did the first day!
Ultra Gloss Top Coat
These brushes are so beautiful in person. I’m a pink girl so I absolutely love this pinky - rose gold - vibe! These were my first purchase - REAL Kolinsky brushes & they are absolutely my favorite! They are affordable and great quality!
Premium Acrylic Brush - Lé Moné
Her polishes are SO PIGMENTED - SO OPAQUE - one coat is all you need! EVEN the white polish!!!

Divine Bond
I have been using this nail efile for about 2.5 months now and I haven’t had any issues with it. It’s pretty powerful even at low RPMs which I feel is important because then I’m not putting pressure on the e file nor the client. It’s light weight - c...

Swipe, 8 oz Nail Dehydrator & Cleanser
I’m typically not a glue brush kind of girl - but this glue has definitely changed my mind. The quality of the glue is so good, I don’t have issues with retention or having issues with the glue drying. I feel it’s quick drying (although room temp can...
Brush-On Nail Glue
Pre measured/lined nail tips can help with making each nail the same length.
Nail Tips – NailsandBlinks
These kits come with a variety of bits or you can purchase individual ones. I love the ball bits, safety bits and diamond bits as they get the nail prepped nicely for application.
Nail Drill Bits
Cordless & corded - meaning it can be used with or without the cord, about 8 hours of battery life with one charge. The bottom plate is removable - perfect for doing pedicures. Affordable and good quality. I don’t have issues with it not fully cu...
Lavinda 54W Cordless UV LED Nail Lamp
The 5 in 1 magnet is a great way to change up your nail looks using Cat Eye Polishes. The 5 in 1 is convenient for having different style magnets in one device.
Magnet 5 in 1
These polishes are so opaque but can be applied lightly for an almost jelly appearance (depending on the shade) or buildable. The glitter/sheen is so beautiful
