Half price at-home nail kit gives 120 gel manicures for the price of two salon visits

With the cost of beauty treatments rising, many are having to find cheaper alternatives.

Whether you view a manicure as an essential or a luxury, it can be an expensive habit, especially as prices are much higher than they were a few years ago.

Nails also require regular maintenance, and heading to a salon regularly can take time and organisation.

Investing in an at-home manicure set can save money, plus it means you can switch up your shade as often as you like, from the comfort of your own home.

The Signature Gel Polish Starter Kit from 14 Day Manicure has been slashed from £161 to £79, which is equivalent to the cost of just two to three salon manicures.

The set includes everything nail lovers need to create a gel manicure which can last up to three weeks.

The process has three simple steps and takes just 15 minutes to do, thanks to a fast-curing UV lamp, shaping tools and a choice of four shades, plus top coat and base coat to lock in the colour.

The kit can provide up to 120 manicures, plus there are over 400 shades to choose from on the website, and they can be purchased separately too.

Although the kit is designed to be easy to use and achieve a salon-worthy finish, it may take some practice to get perfect, so it may not be comparable to a professional manicure on the first try.

Shoppers have been leaving reviews on the manicure set, with some calling it ‘great value’.

Natalija M said: ”This is a great kit for every lady who likes nice nails and wants to save money. Salon prices are crazy! Kit contains everything you need and it is so simple if you follow the rules. Colours are super and will order more for sure!”

Suzin S commented: ”A really great starter kit! Great quality and reasonable price! I was afraid I wouldn’t have the professional look and feel as the shellac i used to get done in salons, but their gels look and feel great! Would recommend this kit!”

Dawn E also added: ”I purchased the gel polish starter kit as with a busy life you often don’t get to go to the salon. I was very happy with the results. The process was fast and easy with a little practice. Fantastic range of colours to choose from too. Great value, will save me a fortune on salon visits.”

For those who are on a tighter budget, the Modelones Gel Nail Kit on Amazon is only £32.99 and has good reviews overall.
