If you are a nail enthusiast looking to level up your at-home manicure, look no further. The UNITY mini travel kit has everything you need to get started doing your gel manicures at home on a budget. 

Products Used: 

UNITY Mini Travel Kit
$50.70 (Value $84.50)
(includes all items below)

Instructions:

Step 1 - Prep is so important for the longevity & overall finish of your manicure. The UNITY mini travel kit includes a nail file to shape your nail & a buffer to lightly prep the surface of the nail. [What is not included in the kit is 70% alcohol or rubbing alcohol, so be sure to use that before painting to remove any oils and debris.] 

Step 2 - I will be showcasing a manicure featuring the color 275 Bon Bon (the most gorgeous millennial pink polish). Shake the bottle well and apply your first coat. I recommend applying light coats to build to the perfect color. 

Step 3 - Cure each coat for 1 minute in the glow mini lamp. The lamp will automatically turn on (motion activated) and start a 60-second timer. Place your hand into the glow mini light and cure. Then place your thumb into the light & cure separately. 

Step 4 - Repeat steps 2 & 3 until you have reached your desired opacity. I did 4 thin coats total to achieve my finished look!

Step 5 - The UNITY gel polish dries to the touch with no tacky inhibition layer and no need to wipe with alcohol. Finish the look with cuticle oil (the strawberry one smells heavenly) and then you are good to go!

Step 6 - Enjoy your beautiful new manicure and when you are ready for removal, utilize unpolished to remove your gel polish for your next look.
