Everything You Need In Your At-Home Manicure Kit

As much as we love hitting the local salon for an end-of-day mani date, sometimes, nothing is better than doing the DIY thing from the comfort of your couch, while catching up on episodes of The Great British Baking Show.

We tapped two of the industry's coolest nail artists to share their must-have tools and products, and let's just say that if it's good enough for backstage at New York Fashion Week, you can believe it's the real deal. Whether you're a novice or basically a Paintbox artist, here are all the essentials you need to build an A+ at-home mani starter kit.
