Starter Kit
Frequently Asked Questions
What's typically included in a nail-tech starter kit?
A basic starter kit usually includes a UV/LED lamp, a set of files and buffing blocks, prep products such as dehydrator and primer, a base and top coat, and often coloured gel polishes plus small tools like a cuticle pusher or brush. The exact scope varies by kit and price range.
Is a starter kit suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes, starter kits are designed primarily for beginners because they bundle all the necessary products in a tested, compatible combination, letting you focus on practising technique instead of figuring out which products work together.
What should you check before buying a starter kit?
Check the UV/LED lamp's wattage first — it should be at least 24–48 W to reliably cure all gel types — plus whether the included products are compatible with each other and whether the kit contains prep products, without which the material won't last.
Will you still need extra tools after buying the kit?
Eventually yes, practically no starter kit covers absolutely everything. The most common additions are replacement files and blocks, colour brushes, polish remover, extra gel polish shades, and specialist tools such as an electric nail drill for more advanced work.
