Does anyone do gel nails at home?

[gregssausageroll]

I am thinking of investing. The salon I use jessica and I like their stuff.

Can you tell me what I need to buy please

Lamp
Base
Colour
Top

What do they use to take the residue off?

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

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!
