I could definitely not live without my nail file and buffer

I like the sound of the Sea Siren Hard Case Glass Travel Nail File. It might help me manage my extremely fragile nails.

Crystal files are AWESOME, I'll never go back to the regular files after using the crystal ones.

I have all these, but the thing missing on your list, which I don't have is time hahaha

Love my nail buffer. Makes my nails so shiny and smooth.

Jlgaddes 21 Dec 2014 8:48 PM

I think I need to buy this nail polish remover with tea tree oil....what a great idea

Lucrecia629 21 Dec 2014 4:40 AM

I like short, shaped nails so I do my nails every weekend. Clippers, cuticle pusher/trimmer, a clean under my nails, smooth with emery board, buff, cuticle cream, hand cream... It's a lot of work and by the time I'm finished I'm too tired to polish my nails, but maybe one day!

Nail clippers and a nail strengthening polish are must haves for me.

Petal 20 Dec 2014 2:42 PM

I've only just started to look after my nails again. They are so weak and fragile that I gave up on them.

My kit includes Nail polish remove, nail file, nail scissors, cuticle cream, base and top coat and drying drops - don't use any tools to push back or remove my cuticles - they are there to prevent infection to the nail.

skitzkitty 20 Dec 2014 3:40 AM

A good pair of scissors & file is all I need - my nails are pretty low maintenance.

need to get a new nail kit

Anita1502 20 Dec 2014 1:42 AM

Looks like I have got everything I need! :)

Beautybabe140194 19 Dec 2014 9:43 AM

I have most of these in my kit

Hayley644 19 Dec 2014 6:23 AM

I use nearly all of these products, but I mostly use a crystal nail file, a nail buffer and cuticle oil.

Jenniqua 19 Dec 2014 5:35 AM

Every girl should have a decent nail kit for sure.

Little Heart 19 Dec 2014 5:30 AM

Happy to read I have all these items in my nail kit with a LOAD of polishes :)
