Gelish Complete Starter Kit, $99.99
Looking for a more professional-looking at-home gel manicure kit? This one is for you. Equipped with an LED curing light, nail surface cleanser, bonder, base coat, top coat, remover and two signature gel nail colors, this DIY kit has everything you need to bring the salon to the comfort of your own bathroom.

There's no doubt that gel polish is the best option for long-wearing, chip-proof manicures, but it can also damage your nails if you aren't careful removing the durable, extra-thick gel. That's why we love this soak-off kit so much. Not only does it provide you with everything you need to create a professional-looking mani all by yourself, but the conditioning soak makes it easier to remove the polish without damage.

This LED light kit will help you create a beautiful gel manicure in minutes. The spacious light allows you to cure all of your fingers at once without fear of smudging any of your freshly painted nails. What's more, it includes nourishing cuticle oil and specially formulated gel polish remover, in addition to base and top coat, to maintain the integrity of your nails. Just one use of the shiny gel polish will leave you craving more colors — and thankfully, there are 148 to choose from.
