Tools!

Nail Stamp Kit!    Seriously my favortie tool ever.

I suck at drawing it's a horrible curse for someone whoer loves nails. This is perfect tho. You can use any nail polish you have, so endless colors and it's super simple to use.
My dad got my this at the state fair it came with 3 plates the stamper, scraper and 3 polishes. They suggest using the polish it comes with, but it's thick and i threw it away. I also found the big designs look nicer then the ones that don't cover your whole nail.
If i use a tool in my tutorial it will likely be this one. You can get the kit at k-mart for 9.99 I suggest amazon of ebay that way you can customize you plates. Highly suggest Cheeta and Zebra
Stamp, scrapper, and 30 design plates $12.99

Nail Design Brushes

I use these brushes alot for small detailing. Mine are obviously highly used, if their soaked in nail polish remover they become clean and can be used over and over. I have about 3 different size brushes, they create thicker or thinner lines depending on the brush. Perfect for small touch ups and straight thin lines!
They are a good price and last forever, great thing to have on hand!
Set of 3 $4.95

Dotting Tool                                                                        These are a pack of 5 double headed sticks for a total of 10 different size dots. I got them about a year ago and are a big step up from toothpicks! If you are on a strict budget or lack of time use a tooth pick instead of these, but I do highly suggest them. They clean very easy and are very durable I've had them for a year and although I have lost a few none have broke. I don't use them alot, as I don't have many designs with dots but I have one with all different size and color dots so this is awesome! They are less then $0.20 a piece super cheap and if you  don't loss them will be around forever. Get them!             five for only $2.00

Stripping Tape

To be completely honest I hate this stuff! It's very sticky and needs to be cut with scissors. Being super small I'm always getting it dangled or lose the ends ugh! I try to go without it as much as possible. Tape is a good alternative but lines arn't straight and you have a much bigger piece even when it is cut. Before you start your nails if you cut pieces of the stripping tape about 2in each and stick it to the table that seems to help. Totally optional, many people like it, use our own judgement.
On a postive note it is very cheap so nice to have on hand just in case
10 rolls for $1.64

This is my favorite plate, I use it about every other time I do my nails, which is alot! It makes your nails look great with no effort. Seriouly you could paint your nails 1 color stamp them and they look professionally done. Normally I don't buy nail products in the dollar range, this was my most expensive purchase  *it's actually not that expensive I'm just super cheap* I have gotten my moneys worth over and over again from this, best purchase by far :D
Nail Plate $6.21
