okay so these are gel x, which is basically a full coverage nail that you glue on and then you polish/decorate it. Iโve also done acrylic and polygel, acrylic is a bit more tedious to do on myself (imo) and polygel is an โeasierโ acrylic. I got most of my stuff from amazon like my drill, polishes, design tools, lamp, and a flash cure lamp
i literally just looked up on tiktok โDIY nails for beginnersโ and then started curating a list of things I needed and got them bit by bit. and i find watching tutorials of what iโm doing helps me a lot. oh and for longevity iโd definitely recommend a dehydrator and primer ! a lot of ppl donโt talk abt that. and a peel off base if you like switching your nails up alot so youโre not damaging your nails
