Let’s face it—there are quite a few supplies involved with the perfect gel manicure. But fear not—this kit contains everything you’ll need to pull it off. Manicure essentials like cuticle scissors and nail files get your nails ready, while a gel base, top coat,eight fabulous colors and a selection of rhinestones make them look totally glam. The set even includes a curing light to harden the gel, and removal polish for when it’s time for a polish change.

While it may not be an all-in-one kit, this four-step gel manicure set by Gelish is still amazing. Use it with any color you want, including those you already have at home, then use a curing light (not included) along with this set to transform it into a perfectly shiny gel manicure that lasts for weeks. Set includes a base coat, bonding solution, top coat and even a nourishing cuticle oil.

If you choose not to go with a gel nail kit, you’ll need to select a great curing lamp. This one delivers, with auto-on, auto-off functionality and four different time settings. This energy-efficient lamp directs light onto your nails for a fast drying time, while the design prevents the rays from going elsewhere.
