A good set of fine liner and detail brushes is the base of all nail art. I use them for lines, French tips, flowers and lettering. Wipe them clean between colors and keep gel brushes out of the light.

Stamping gets you detailed designs in seconds when there isn't time to hand paint. Use a thick stamping polish, scrape it fast at an angle and pick it up with the stamper right away. Clean the plates with acetone after.

Five sizes of dotting tools for dots, hearts, flowers and swirls. It's the easiest nail art to learn, and I use them on almost every design set.

Chrome is one of the most requested add-ons. Rub the powder over a cured no-wipe top coat with the applicator, dust off the extra, then seal with another layer of top coat. A little jar goes a long way.

Cat-eye gel has magnetic shimmer in it that you pull into a line with a magnet. Hold the magnet over the wet gel for a few seconds, then cure right away so the line stays sharp.

The magnet that makes cat-eye work. Hold it close to the nail without touching it, move it around to change where the shine lands, then cure.

Transfer foil gives a lace, metallic or marble look in seconds. Brush the foil gel where you want the design, cure or let it go tacky per the directions, press the foil on and peel it off fast. Seal with top coat.

Rhinestones and charms are the easiest way to upgrade a set. Set them in a thick gel or builder base, cure, then seal around the edges with top coat so they don't snag hair or pop off.
