This one, by OPI, is designed to give you all the benefits of a regular treatment for stronger nails, help your manicure and pedicure last longer and give them a glossy, resistant top coat.

4. Nail Polish Corrector Pen

Price: $6.00 at sephora.com
Do you have a corrector pen? I can’t believe I don’t! But, seriously, why does it always slip my mind? I got so used to using cue tips for fixing boo-boos , I guess. Well, this is so much better than cue tips so I’ll definitely have to add it to my shopping list and underline it twice!

5. Sephora by OPI Nail Brightener

Price: $9.50 at sephora.com
A cure for those yellowish, lifeless-looking nails and a great thing to have in your first aid kit! Now, I don’t know how you deal with the issue of yellow nails after using dark nail polishes but the only thing I could do before I got smart enough to get a brightener is pray I’ve remembered to bring a base coat or that my fiancé didn’t accidentally throw away a perfectly good nail polish I’ve left there . Yup, living in two countries can be a b#tch.

8. Glass Nail File

Price: $8.00 at sephora.com
Well, let’s not forget this most important tool of them all! And is there anything better than a glass nail file? Once you get your nails to look exactly the way you want them, you just put this baby in water and wash off all those bits, pieces and germs. Voila! Your nail file is crispy clean and ready for the next use!

But don’t let me do all the talking girls! Tell me which nail products you like to use. Which are your favorite brands and why?
