The Best At-Home Gel Manicure Kits

Bring the nail salon home

April 6, 2020

Whether you miss your nail salon visits, you’re trying to save a little money on manicures, or you’re simply going stir crazy, now’s the time to learn how to do your own gel mani. Unlike regular at-home manicures, gel require zero drying time, so you can get back to business ASAP (that epic 5,000-piece puzzle won’t put itself together, after all). Bring the spa to you, safely remove your old gel mani, then it’s time to get going. We found the best options for getting your gel mani on at home, from starter kits to lights—plus one super-easy cheat.
