The $30 Amazon gel manicure kit that’s saving me $$$

I’ll admit it: I hate the nail salon. I get so anxious getting my nails done. It’s expensive, so I feel like I want to get my money’s worth, but I also feel so awkward speaking up if it looks bad. So in order to avoid the nail salon all together, I do my own manicures at home.

And this DIY kit from Amazon has been a game changer! It’s only $36 (often on sale for around $20) and comes with a nail polish set. There are multiple sets from you to choose your 10 colors from, including neutrals (obviously that’s what I got), pretty pastels, or neon.

This whole kit (with 10 colors) was under $30 on @amazon! Way better than the $50 i usually spend at the salon 💅🏽 #diynails #diynailsathome #athomemanicure #gelmanicure #amazonfinds #amazonmusthaves #diymanicure

I also got myself some thin brushes to do my own designs. I think this brown french tip design for fall has been my favorite so far!

I got a pedicure at a salon the next day & they asked me where I got my manicure done. When I said I did it myself, they asked IF I WENT TO COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL?! 😳Shocked that they turned out this good! 🙌🏽 #diymanicure #athomemanicure #gelmanicure #amazonfinds #amazonmusthaves #diygelnails #naildesigns #naildesignideas
