1. Base-coat and Topcoat


While building a house we always take into account the foundation, in the same way, a base coat prevents your nail from staining whenever you apply a darker shade over them. You can skip this if you are going with a lighter shade.
You can go for Konad Regular Polish- R61 Konad and O.P.I Natural Nail Base Coat.
 
Topcoat is an additional layer that you apply when you are finished with the nail polish. It gives a smooth finish to your nail and restrains them from chipping.
Seche Vite Dry Fast top Coat and O.P.I Brilliant High shine Top Coat will work perfectly for you.

5. Stamping kit

 

 It is one of the easiest ways to get nail art. It basically consists of Stamper, Stamping plate, Scraper, and stamping polish. The Stamping plate comprises several designs and patterns that are printed over our nails with the help of a stamper. Before going for a stamping kit there are certain things that have to be kept in mind like the stamper needs to be durable and at the same time the stamping plate should be deep enough so as to easily get the pattern on the stamper. With that, it also should be easy to clean.
MCW Nail Art Stamping Kit, Biutee Nail Stamping set, Ejiubas Nail Art Stamping kit are good to go with.
