Find the right gel nail starter kit for you
Selecting your first kit depends on what kind of manicure you want to create. From classic Gel Polish to nail extensions, there are several options to explore.
What is included in a gel nail starter kit?
A standard gel nail starter kit or gel polish starter kit usually contains everything you need to prepare, apply, and cure your manicure. This typically includes an LED lamp, a Base Coat, a Top Coat, and prep tools like a nail file, a buffer, and a cuticle pusher. Many kits also let you choose your favourite Gel Polish colours to get started straight away.
What is the difference between a polygel kit and a builder gel kit?
A polygel kit is designed for building strong nail extensions. Polygel has a thick, paste-like consistency that does not run, which gives you plenty of time to shape the nail before curing. A builder gel kit uses a more fluid, self-levelling gel. It is ideal for reinforcing natural nails or creating shorter extensions, as it smooths itself out on the nail plate.
What is a rubber base gel kit?
A rubber base gel kit features a highly flexible base coat designed for weak, thin, or bendy nails. The Rubber Base bends with your natural nail, which helps prevent lifting and chipping. It provides a strong, durable foundation for your Gel Polish.
What is the best starter kit for complete nail beginners?
If you are completely new to doing your nails at home, a classic Gel Polish starter kit is an ideal place to start. This kit teaches you the basic steps of prep, application, and curing without the need to shape or build extensions. Once you feel comfortable with the basics, you can easily expand your collection with other products.
Nail Art and safe removal kits
What does a nail art kit contain?
An at-home manicure kit can be upgraded with a specialized nail art kit. These kits typically include fine liner brushes, dotting tools, and decorative elements like chrome powder or glitter. These tools make it simple to paint thin lines, create detailed patterns, and add unique details to your gel manicure.
How do you safely remove gel polish at home with a removal kit?
To protect your natural nails, you must never scrape or peel off gel products. A dedicated nail removal kit includes the tools you need to break the seal of the Top Coat and safely soak off the product. By using a gentle remover liquid, foil wraps, and a cuticle pusher, you can lift the gel away without damaging the natural nail plate.
