Between work, kids, life commitments, and general summery priorities (aka getting to the pool or beach as much as possible), spending precious time at the nail salon isn’t always possible. So we’ve come up with a bunch of solutions to keep your nails picture-ready — on your time. Read on for at-home gel kits, nail stickers, quick repair tools, and more.

One of the hardest things about at-home gel manis is the removal. Thanks to this new plant-based formula, you won’t have to worry about that hour-long acetone soak. This gel can be removed in one minute, stays shiny for up to 10 days, and dries instantly under the LED flash lamp. ($160, Manicurist)

This huge kit includes everything you need for your next mani and pedi. It has a nail buffer, file, brush, serum, best-selling color and top coat, and more — all for your hands. The pedi collection includes all that, plus a hydrating foot serum to soothe and smooth. Psst... take 20% off your first Nail System Kit with code SKIMM20. ($110+, Olive & June)

You’ll never want to overpay for acrylics again. If length is your love language, the endless selection of styles and designs at Olive & June will have you head over heels. This kit comes with everything you need to prep your nails (including the brand’s award-winning cuticle serum), up to four sets of press-ons, and an easy removal kit, too. ($54+, Olive & June)

Adding a bit of flair to your mani or pedi has never been easier. This pack of 3D decals comes with six sheets of graffiti-themed stickers. Just peel, stick, and add a bit of top coat, and you’re good to go. ($8.99, Amazon)

If durability’s something you’re after, dip powder’s your gal. It lasts longer than gel manis (if cared for) and is a little easier to achieve. This set is good for both beginners and pros. It comes with eight natural powder colors, a top coat, base, activator, and brush saver, and all the tools to prep your nails. ($20.99, Amazon)

Say goodbye to broken nails and loose tips. This nail glue is compatible with all nail tips, and customers say it works better than regular acrylic polymer — the average stay time is around two weeks. It’s quick-drying and comes with a fine precision brush applicator for less mess. ($12.99, Amazon)

From subtle designs to drool-worthy details in every length and shape, these press-ons will save you a ton of time and money. Psst…Snag this nail remover to keep your nail beds safe between sets. ($19.99+, Glamnetic)

The sun is shining, and a beach trip’s on the calendar — which means it’s time to break out the neons and pastels. This powder set comes with 24 bright colors to give your nails a summer vibe. (And if you’re more of a gel girl, this set comes with six shades from a trusted brand.) ($19.99, Amazon)

If you’re looking to crank your at-home salon up a notch, you might need one of these display books. Create your own shade catalog and showcase all your colors with over 100 swatch spaces. ($15.29+, Amazon)

Because your nails could use a little TLC no matter where you are. This kit comes with a crystal nail file for on-the-go touch-ups and a botanical serum to add some shine. Snag one for your house and one for your purse. Thank us later. ($25, Urban Outfitters)
