Whether you’re prepping for a wedding or red carpet event, or you simply want to update your grooming routine, there’s something about well-manicured nails that help you feel put together while keeping your hands and feet healthy. Some of the best nail care products can encourage you to prioritize self-care on a budget, or help you pamper your digits in between manicure or pedicure appointments.

Here, we’ve rounded up some of the top nail care products from brands trusted by Hollywood beauty pros and stars, such as OPI (which has previously collaborated with Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood and others), Nails Inc., Beauty Pie, Butter London and more to consider as you build the best DIY mani-pedi kit. Once you have a healthy foundation in place, have some fun with pro-approved nail art or even press-ons for a foolproof coat of creativity.
