Nail & Hand Care

• Seaweed Bath Company Hand & Body Lotion* i’ve been using this lotion since 2022 and the most important thing I need to mention about this cream is that its first ingredient is Bladderwrack Seaweed which is wonderfully beneficial for the skin

• Blue Cross Cuticle Remover* it’s lanolin enriched and I find it works quickly and efficiently

• Bliss Kiss Cuticle oil Pen* jojoba oil, the holy grail ingredient when it comes to cuticle oil and a high quality one will do wonders on your skin. i’ve even used it on my finger tattoos but none of this is medical advice and probably not backed by science 🙂. if you prefer the dropper version, you can find it here*

• Bona Fide Beauty Glass Nail File* these Czech glass nail files honestly make it too easy to shape your nails! be careful to not overwork it or you may end up with a funny nail shape, they’re just that good at filing/shaping

Equipment

• Desk Lamp* you can pretty much adjust everything on this lamp from the color modes, to the brightness and the position. it doesn’t take up much space either but it’s potent

• Nail Polish Tower* my tower in its original form. the green acrylic panels* you see on my actual tower are a DIY upgrade. if you want to check out my DIY process, here’s the video. reach out if you have any questions! i’d be happy to help if you also want to transform your tower

• Vornado Flippi V6* i use this to speed up my mani’s drying process. it has 3 modes, is adjustable and really small and portable. i also take it with me when i travel because I need fan noise to sleep

Polish Basics

• PUEEN Liquid Latex* an essential item (imo) if you use the sponge on method to apply glitter polishes but if you don’t mind the mess and/or clean up process, then you won’t need this

• Amazon Cotton Balls* i always purchase these because they are just so plump and good quality

• Clear Skin Club Clean Pads* if you don’t like cotton balls, these cotton pads are real nice. i mainly use these in my morning skincare routine

• Highrock Nail Clips* when using the soak off method to remove polish, these clips will keep the acetone dipped cotton ball/pad in place with subtle pressure to aid in the removal process making removal of any polish so super easy

• Orly Bonder Base Coat* this is my go to rubber base coat. in my experience, I’ve noticed it does a slightly better job than the blue toned base coats, at keeping stains at bay
