Before kids, I loved my nail salon trips. It was my little slice of self-care—a chance to relax and walk out feeling put together. But once I became a mom, those trips became few and far between. I tried painting my nails at home, but regular polish never stood a chance against endless dishwashing, cleaning, and playing with my kids. The last time I went to the salon, it was over $50 for plain gel nails (with tip!), and I couldn’t justify spending that much every two weeks. So when I got this gel nail kit as a gift, it made it easier than ever to have pretty nails again! Now, I have salon-worthy nails at home for less than the cost of one salon visit. It’s easy to use, lasts about 2 weeks, and hasn’t damaged my nails at all—even after 6+ months of regular use. I’ve even added a few more colors to my collection! Setting up my little nail station, turning on a show, and spending 30 minutes on my nails has become my new self-care routine. The best part? They’re so easy to remove—they practically peel off after about 10 days. LTKFindsUnder50 LTKGiftGuide LTKBeauty
