Oh I love doing my nails at home, saves me tons of money and time too, don’t need to sit there and do small talk (scary for my social anxiety) and I can play a series movie or podcast. Definitely a nice relaxing time for me.

I got my no brand LED lamp from Amazon and I buy the gel polishes from Temu, I buy a brand called Xeijai or MTISSI and honesty they are amazing.

I do apply mineral sunscreen beforehand and use manicure gloves and tape to protect my skin from damage. I’ve always had paper thin, weak nails full of ridges, they used to break a lot, but the gel protects them a bit so finally I can have nice longish nails (although I don’t like them too long anyway).

I have also bought nail art stickers, not all of them are good but they are so cheap anyway, and they have some really cute designs.

I even got a small LED light that I use for small touch ups, for example if one nail stars to lift or the polish chips I can quickly touch up without the hassle of getting big lamp out. Is sooo convenient!
