At home nail kits

At home nail kits - which ones are worth looking at and which ones are a waste of money?

I love getting my nails done (BIAB) and rarely take a break from them however the cost is just something I need to cut down on. Looking for a replacement solution that's easy to do at home and will last a few weeks without damaging my nail.

Edit - Doesn't need to be gel/biab

I’ve had a few. Currently using a Mylee set bought off Amazon. The lamp is good as you can get a full hand inside, the reason I changed from the Red Carpet one that had to do the thumbs separately. Their polishes seem to be lasting longer too.
I’ve never had a professional manicure. I live very rurally with nowhere to get one done so can’t compare but find it really easy to diy.

Agree with pp, mylee or bluesky are another home use one.

Used both, no complaints about either.

Mylee are good and also Blue Sky, as you have your nails done professionally pay close attention to what they do and how they do it because there is an element of skill involved especially in nail prep so you don't get any lifting. Doing your dominant hand might be more tricky depending on how dexterous you are. You can always try to rope in a partner/husband or competent child or friend? Good luck, I had my nails done professionally for about 5 years then did my own. BIAB has been a game changer for a lot of people doing their nails at home.
