The problem is that getting to the nail salon can be tiresome — and costly! Spa manicures are anything but inexpensive and keeping weekly or bi-weekly appointments can be tricky to manage with busy schedules. That’s where a gel nail kit can be a lifeline to awesome nails without making a dent in your calendar.
The best nail kits help you achieve salon-perfect nails in the comfort of your home, on your own schedule, whether you want gel nails or traditional ones. To begin, you need gel nail polish and the corresponding light source: ultraviolet or LED. Traditional nail kits contain the kind of polish we’re all used to, which doesn’t require a light for finishing but simply dries the old-fashioned way. No matter which kind you choose, at-home nail kits are cost-effective, saving you oodles over the long run on salon manicures and tips.
Here are six kits available on Amazon that can help you get started with doing your own impressive manicures.
We like that this Eternal polish is vegan, cruelty-free and also free of 21 harmful chemicals, including, parabens, formaldehyde and phthalates. It is vegan and cruelty-free. With roughly 6,000 global ratings and an average score of 4.4 stars out of 5, it’s clearly a favorite. Several users commented on how long the polish in this gel nail kit lasts and how easy it is to remove.
To use, trim, file and buff nails to create a clean surface. Next, apply a thin layer of base coat and cure it under the lamp, then add your color and cure again. You can add up to three thin coats if needed, curing after each layer. Finish off with a top coat and one last cure. Then, your polish will be set, literally.
Create acrylic nails at home with this at-home kit that comes with everything you need to get started: eight different powders, four dip-powder liquids, a nail brush, a nail file and three brush replacements for the liquid bottles. There’s also a brush-saver liquid that helps clean your tool after you’re finished.
The colors in this anti-cracking nude-pink set are billed to last more than 21 days. To use, file, shape and buff nails before applying a base coat. Quickly dip nails into the color powder at a 45-degree angle and remove excess powder. Then, repeat powder dipping a couple more times and air dry for 30-60 seconds before applying the activator liquid, air drying and applying two costs of top coat, air drying in between.
Get in the holiday spirit with this sparkly green, red, gold and silver gel kit. This set would be good for someone who already has a lamp, as the polishes need LED light to cure. It’s rated as an Amazon’s Choice pick and the company claims manicures will last more than 21 days when the polish is applied properly.
