A collection of supplies designed for at-home gel manicures, often sold by a specific large retailer, typically includes gel polishes, a UV or LED curing lamp, base and top coats, manicure tools, and sometimes decorative elements. An example might comprise a small UV lamp, six colored gel polishes, a base coat, a top coat, nail files, and an orangewood stick, all packaged together for convenient purchase.
Such collections offer a cost-effective and convenient way to achieve salon-quality manicures at home. The availability of these kits through mass-market retailers has democratized access to gel nail application, previously primarily a salon service. This increased accessibility allows individuals to experiment with nail art and express personal style more readily. Furthermore, the at-home option provides flexibility and control over scheduling and cost, potentially leading to long-term savings compared to regular salon visits.
