Acetone, brush, cuticle pushes and cutters (very important), brush cleaner, nail clippers, and extenson clippers if you intend to put tips on, tips, cuticle oil

I've just bought a kit from red carpet manicure which includes everything you need. here

Used it for the first time tonight, really easy and looks as good as the Gelish I had applied at a salon.

You can get a SensatioNail kit from Boots it's 69.99 and they have a 10 off voucher in the back of current Boots H&B mag.

I use this and it's fab - can't tell the difference from salon and can do it watching tv with wine at my own convenience Wink

It includes LED lamp, primer, top/base coat, 1 colour & the cleanser/wipes - that's what you use to take off the residue

Other than that just need to stock up on 100% acetone & some foil to remove it!
