Pretty Smart: Nail Your At-Home Manicure

• Stick It

  
  For in-a-hurry nail art at a fraction of the price, apply a quick coat of polish and stick on Rad Nails nail wraps ($16). Everyone will ask for your digits.

• Clean Cut

  
  Tool around with Deborah Lippman’s nail grooming set ($48) for cuticles and you’ll never worry about the sanitization factor in sketchy salons again.

• Soon Enough

  
  Cult manicurist Jin Soon Choi’s debut line ($18) nails it. Her two collections, Quintessential (staple shades) and A La Mode (seasonal hues), are must-haves.

• Coat Check

  
  Skip chips with Sephora by OPI’s at-home gel kit ($159). Application is a cinch, and we remained shiny and polish-perfect for nearly two weeks.

  Warm to the textured-tips trend with Ciaté’s Velvet Manicurepolish and crushed powder set ($19) in burgundy, dark blue, or steely gray.
