Best DIY gel nail sets?

I really want to purchase a gel nail set so that I can do my nails at home. I'm sick of them looking awful! Any recommendations on a good set?

Mylee are by far the best at home gel nail kit. They're also used by some professionals. They have a full works kit, containing everything you need for £130 or you could look on eBay.

I'll have a look at this! There is a kit by them on Amazon for £90 which is probably a mini version

Check Groupon too! I got mine in there for about £70

I got the Mylee LED lamp as an Amazon special for £30.
Groupon have loads too.
Go for an LED not UV.
Doing my nails in lockdown, although pointless, is keeping me feeling happier!
I get the BlueSky polishes off EBay, loads of colours.

I got a Sensationail kit and like it a lot. I prefer their nail polish to Mylee as they are thinner and I find them easier to use.

Does the LED lamp give a better result?

Yes the LED lamp is quicker to cure and I find the gel lasts longer too.

Definitely Mylee LED lamp. I love mine. They base/top coats and colours are lovely too. The no wipe top coat is my favourite. This colour is Cappuccino 😍
