Basecoat

Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle creates a mirror-smooth base (no blobby unevenness; no tint to alter the color of your polish) that makes a streak-free manicure possible even for klutzes.

Topcoat

Some topcoats make your nails shiny for all of one day. A few swipes of Poshé Topcoat leave nails as reflective as glass for a whole week.

Nail Files

After several uses, most boards require a good deal of elbow grease to get the job done. The Essie Crystal File effortlessly creates smooth, clean edges manicure after manicure. After manicure. After manicure. After--well, we're still using ours.

Cuticle Cream

Essie The Cuticle Pen dispenses moisture to dry, cracked cuticles with unmatched precision, and--thanks to a thick creamy blend of apricot, jojoba, and primrose oils--stays where you put it.

Nail Polish Remover

The handy envelopes of Cutex Essential Care Pads Advance Nail Non-Acetone Polish Remover not only eliminate those gross balls of remover-soaked toilet paper, but just one square can also suck the darkest burgundy polish off all ten fingers.
