10 Reviews: Best Gel Nail Kit for Beginners (Apr 2024)

Begin with this portable gel polish kit, which you can easily bring with you wherever you go to create a salon-quality finish manicure. It claimed to be lighter than acrylics and hard gels and to leave your nails healthier. Because it lasts up to 3 weeks, it’s ideal for doing your own nails at home rather than wasting money and time at the salon.

Love the poly gel!! Still have not mastered using the dual forms. I do much better with putting the gel over nail tips. The Elite Pro Kit is a great deal, with the 5 different colors of poly gel to try.

Continue to this gel nail kit from Beetles that lasts up to two weeks, according to reviewers, making it one of the longest-lasting home manicures they’ve tested. Many customers appreciate how much space this kit provides for experimenting with different colors and glitter.

I have several sets of Beetle gel polish and LOVE THEM ALL!! Colors are beautiful. Goes on smooth and cures very well.

Yes, it includes a curing LED lamp and six different polish colors (including base and top coats), but it also includes 31 different tools. There’s everything you’ll need for basic manicures (think files and a brush), as well as some unique instruments for nail art. It’s another excellent choice for beginners, as well as anyone who wants to master the at-home gel manicure.

Excellent quality polish, very effective light! TOTALLY worth it! Comes with everything you need to do salon quality nails AT HOME! 6 colors, base/no-wipe top coat, lots of manicure accessories, and strong uv/led light. This light cures it perfectly! The polish is also very good quality. Paints on evenly, no streaks. I highly recommend this set.

This teeny-tiny alternative is so little and sleek that you could even take it on a trip with you; the light comes with a USB cord, so you can charge it from your laptop. It takes only about 30 seconds to cure a coat of polish, which is a big plus considering you’ll only be doing one finger at a time. What’s more, the lamp is available in three hues, each with a matching shade of polish.

I can’t believe how wonderfully this kit works, given its price point! I’ve used it a few times now since purchasing, and my manicures always last at least 10 days. The design of everything, right down to the packaging, is so cute! I would highly recommend this product in place of going to the nail salon. 10/10

If you didn’t get the memo, ripping off a gel manicure, no matter how tempting it may be, is a big no-no. Filing and soaking your nails properly is essential for maintaining their strength, and this kit makes it simple to do so. It’s included buffer, remover, foil wrapping, and orangewood stick that are all required for removing gel polish correctly and safely when the time comes.

My nails are short and thin, this is a good investment! They are actually growing now!

This 32-piece kit has everything you need to shape and polish your nails like a pro, including six neutral, wearable colors, for those who want the entire salon experience. It’s ideal for beginners since it includes basic nail manicure equipment that will assist you in completing your nail art as well as saving money at the salon.

Absolutely worth the money. I bought this to use in between salon visits. No longer going to the salon. The key is to apply the gel thin and do the prep work

For convenience, most at-home kits use smaller LED lights, but if you have the storage space, this larger lamp allows you to treat your full hand at once, exactly like at the manicure salon. This kit has everything you’ll need for a flawless, damage-free, gel-like manicure in one convenient package.

From foundation to top coat, this beginner kit includes everything you’ll need for your first gel manicure, as well as three small polishes and a travel-size LED bulb. It comes with two Soak-Off Gel Polishes as well as an On-the-Go LED Light. You’ll get enough product to create 18+ manicures that you’ll love.

Loved how the kit had everything you needed to start off with. Very easy to use

With this all-in-one starter kit from a reputable brand, you can get up to 10 gel manicures. Shell We Dance is a gentle neutral that you’ll want to wear again and over again. Bring the salon right to your front door. With Sally Hansen Salon Pro Gel Polish, you can get professional results without leaving the house.

This whole package is amazing. It is so easy to use and it looks like to got them professionally done. It gives you everything you need and is a good price for the amount you get.

The macaron-shaped light in this set cures each nail individually, and the all-in-one polish cures without the need for additional foundation, bonding, or topcoat steps. It’s a quick and long-lasting gel paint that dries in 30 seconds and leaves your nail with a gorgeous color you like. It’s also convenient to use anyplace, then you can DIY your nail as you want.

Really handy gel kit, my granddaughter and I had a lot of fun using this kit. Bought it for traveling.
