If you can’t make it to your bi-weekly salon appointment for some killer nail art, or you simply love doing your own nail art, here are the cool tools (aside from the basics, like base/topcoat, cuticle pusher, nail file, polish remover, etc.) that you’ll need to take your nail game to the next level.
1. Matte Topcoat: A matte topcoat instantly gives your nails a cool-girl, non-glossy mod finish.

4. Nail Repair Formula: If you’re constantly putting on false nails or getting gel polish applied to your nails, your nails can tend to be dry and brittle. It’s a good idea to give your natural nails a break for a week and apply a formula nightly that restores and conditions your nails back to a healthy, strong state while you’re polish-free.

6. Transfer Foils: Foil paper creates a cool design when you paint your nails with a desired base colour, apply a clear glue on top, and then press and pull the tape away quickly, leaving behind imperfect traces of foil on your nails for a cool finish.
