Questions & AnswersYou don’t have to buy a kit but it comes in a kit with the four colors you’re going to need. A base coat, you’re going to need the white for the tip, you’re going to need the skin color, light pink skin color and then the top coat. You’re also going to need a nail brush a professional nail brush, this would be the thing that’ll cost a little bit more than anything else. A good brush will run you anywhere from 15 to $25. You don’t have to have a professional bowl to do the manicure before you actually paint your nails but these only run like 99 cents. Then I usually have just a separate bowl to soak my implements which is a cuticle pusher, nail file and a cuticle nipper in alcohol so that you can have it sterilized. You’re going to need a nail brush and you’re going to need a nail file or just a disposable one would work just as fine, just as good. You’re also going to need a paper towel and we’ll explain that a little bit later and then a plastic covering, so it’s not to ruin your furniture in case any of it drips on the surface that you’re doing it on. This is the basic things that you’re going to need. Next we’ll talk about how to set it up properly.

can't wait to try this out
all of the lessons helped me so much. Being a plain Jane and all I decided the 2008 is the year I needed to step it up a notch. Even though I am married, with an 9 month old son. I surely don't want to look like it. I have gotten several positive comments. With the knowledge of the know how I can do them as often as I like with out sitting in line, or with an appointment.
