I swear my fingernail clippers have the ability to grow legs and walk away. Then there was that time I chipped my nail and my emery board vanished into thin air. Or what about that time I used toilet paper because I couldn’t find cotton balls to remove my old nail polish. Has any of this ever happened to you? If so, I have all the materials you need to make a manicure caddy to ensure all your supplies are safely stored in one space – and it looks so cute.

The Container

I love acrylic containers. Being able to see what is inside is the key to finding things quickly. But when you have wet fingernails, you need a container that isn’t going to ruin all your hard work. Enter this gorgeous acrylic caddy. Its handle makes it easy to carry with wet nails and the compartments make it easy to keep all of the necessities in their place.

Nail Caddy Stickers

I’m a sucker for cute script labels. I love them! Plus, it really helps the other members of your household know what they are looking for. Here is a link to my favorite bathroom labels.

Stocking Your Caddy

Having a cute, organized caddy is great but all the organization won’t matter if you don’t have simple, effective products that fit your lifestyle and actually work. I’m a busy mother of two boys, a wife, and a business owner who cooks dinner, does the laundry, the dishes, helps with homework, and gets the kids ready for bed (you know – everything). Here are my favorite at-home manicure products and a couple of tips for fitting it all in.

Cuticle Oil

Cuccio Cuticle Oil // this line has something for every concern. I use it weekly on my cuticles, hands, and toes. Our family has turned it into a bedtime ritual, my kids love it too because it smells great and keeps the hangnails away.

Base Coat

OPI Nail Envy // I discovered this magic-in-a-bottle during quarantine, and I’ve never looked back. I always use it as a base coat when applying my Dashing Diva Gloss Gel nails. When I’m not wearing my gel stickers, I use this to give my nails that freshly manicured look. If you are looking for long strong nails that look amazing while holding up to mom life then this should be in your go-to, at least weekly.

Dashing Divas

Dashing Divas // Prepare for compliments. These ultra-shine gel stickers actually last up to 14-days! The only reason I remove them is because my nails have grown out so much. They are easy to apply, no UV dry time, and are easy to remove all with the look of lots of salon chair time. With 32 gel strips included in each kit, you’ll find the perfect size for each finger. I keep the unused ones and mix and match them down the road.

In one simple little blog, I’ve helped make your self-care easy and organized. No more searching the entire house to find what you are looking for. Everything is one cute and tidy space. Plus, this is a fun self-care activity you can share with your kiddos. So, while yes, a mani/pedi at the spa would be amazing, you can still find ways to look polished while creating fun family moments – with no mess to clean up later.

Enjoy!
