6 Must-Have Supplies for Nail Makeover at Home

1. White Nail Pencil

Surprised? Don’t be, since it is one of the most innovative and essential products to give your nails an instant brightness. When you don’t have time to paint your nails or want them to look subtle, go grab this pencil. Use it to color the underside of your nails to instantly brighten tips and create a natural looking French manicure.

2. Good Quality High-Shine Top Coat

Are you a fan of the glossy sheen and durability of a gel manicure, but afraid to take the plunge fearing the toll it takes on your nails? A good top coat is your savior. Use it after you’ve applied your polish for a gel-like finish—long-lasting shine and color—without the side effects of typical gel polish. Choose the one that dries super fast (no lamp needed). Recommendation: Revlon ColorStay Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat.

3. Liquid Tape

Yes, something like this does exist. Mess no more! ‘Liquid Tape’ for nails is a new product that keeps polish in its place, so your at-home manicure will look like it was done by a pro. Before starting, just use the wand to apply the formula to the skin surrounding your nail bed. Once it’s dry, apply the polish. Peel off the formula after your polish has dried to reveal perfectly polished tips.

4. Nail Polish Holder

You may need to touch up your nail polish at the most inconvenient times, like in a car or before a meeting. This little gadget allows you to touch-up, even when you don’t have a hard surface to rest the polish bottle on. The silicone ring slips onto your fingers (it has sizes ranging from 3 through 17) while the “bowl” on the top holds the polish and catches any spills. Cool indeed!

5. Finger Nail Polish Remover

If sponge nail polish removers weren’t enough, Formula X Delete All – 5 Finger Nail Polish Remover solves the hassle of individually removing nail paint from each finger. The sponge is soaked with polish remover and has five finger pockets so you can dip your whole hand in at once, removing polish in seconds.

6. Smart Nail File

Meet the new favorite power tool of beauty buffs, Amope Pedi Perfect Nail File. This little battery-powered gadget comes with three inserts that allow you to file, buff, and shine nails. It also works wonders at removing a gel manicure. Use the electric nail file to buff away shine, then soak the nails in a polish remover for 10 minutes before gently scrubbing away with an orange stick. A great solution to our nail problems!
