Lipstick League Question of the Week
What are your three must-have products for a home manicure?
G's answer: A good nail file (my fave is this one), a good brush to clean up mistakes (I prefer the e.l.f. $1 concealer brush - you can see me clean up my nails with this brush here), and a powerful remover (I can't stand wimpy polish removers so I use a 100% pure acetone remover but I also really love Zoya Remove+).
