Acetone/Alcohol Pumps
Desk Saving Silicone Nail Mats
I also really like this mat from Lantern & Wren but it’s not currently available on their Amazon page. It’s MASSIVE so I only recommend that one if you have a really large area to work in. For smaller spaces/desks, the Bliss Kiss or Twinkled T mats work great.
Cleanup Brushes
- Lantern & Wren Angled Cleanup Brush
- Twinkled T: #2 (smallest), #6 medium
- Vegan Options: Vegan #1 & Vegan #2
Side note, The Twinkled T brushes are also available on their website. If you use my code NicoleLovesNails10 you can save 10% of them there!
Cuticle Oil
- Bliss Kiss Cuticle Oil: 4 Pack, Single & BIG 4oz refill bottle
- Note: the refill size has the best value and will list you ages. I keep mine in my fridge.
Pro tip: it turns out to be cheaper to buy cuticle oil in bulk and then fill up pens yourself. I like these pens for filling my own 3ml pens & 5ml pens
Storage
While I do store all of my nail polish in helmers from Ikea. I do use have 3 of the clear acrylic racks on my swatch table and another on my desk for videos. Ideally, you want to store nail polish in a cool, dark place out of sunlight.
Swatch Sticks
If you are using swatch sticks to swatch your collection, I would reccomend using a label maker. If you just use permanent markers, the ink will run off with time. I like this one by Dymo. I use 3/8″ tape for swatch sticks.
I talk about these glass cabochons in my How To Add Glass Cabochons To Your Nail Polish Bottles blog post. But these are great for your nail polish bottles
Misc
This is also the floor lamp that I use to show shimmer/holo when I am doing my swatch videos.
This is the lamp I use at my desk when I am doing my own manicures.
This flashlight works great for charging up solar polishes, showing black light reactive polishes/glitters.
Highly reccomend this foot warmer!
