Hi, everyone is different but my favourites are
- cuticle pusher
- files (high grit for natural nail, low grit for on the enhancement)
- white block
- scrub fresh ( or any prep and wipe)
- bonder ( I love Ibd Powerbond)
- tips and nail glue
- acrylic powder ( nsi attractions powder is a really nice one to work with)
- monomer ( nsi attractions)
- acrylic brush ( don’t buy a cheap one, the nsi attraction precise one is amazing)
- then top coat or polish to finish

Hi Eleanor,

I knew that a lot of people were dealing with this problem because I remembered going through it myself when I first started!

I decided to write a whole article about this topic. You can read more about it here - A Complete Nail Salon Equipment Checklist

Hope this could help you with your nail journey!

I’d recommend waiting until you start your course. You’ll get a kit once you’ve started and it’s not advisable to try beforehand.
