So here are four super inexpensive nail art staples, all found on Amazon.
1. A set of five dual-ended dotting tools.
You can get these for $5.99 from MASH (reasonable price, isn’t it?). Or you can get them from Amazon for $1.68 shipped. Yes, you heard me right, $1.68 shipped! Here’s the exact same set I bought.
2. Assorted nail tape decorations/stickers.
Here’s another classic nail art necessity: nail tape. You can use these as a decoration, or to make perfect stripes on your nails. Either way, very few of us can freehand draw perfect lines and most of us need the help of tape stripes. You can get these for $6.50 at Claire’s… or for $1.02 from Amazon shipped. Here’s the one I bought.
3. Nail glitter, nail caviar, stars, rhinestones etc…
And another nail art staple – nail jewelry. It can be tiny rhinestones or big ones, plastic stars, nail caviar, tiny hearts and pearly flecks. You can get an assortment of 12 different types from BornPrettyStore for $6.45… or you can get an assortment of 20 from Amazon for $3.16 shipped. Here’s what I bought.
4. Nail art pens.
And last, but not least, nail art pens. Some pens are best used for cleaning up the cuticles, others for freehand drawing intricate designs or dusting powders and glitters over wet nails. The point is, if you are at least semi-serious about nail art you should definitely get some brushes. Brushes are pricey, right? You can get a set of 15 assorted brushes from MASH for $15.99… or from Amazon for $2.31 shipped. Here’s the set I bought.
Enjoy your savings, ladies!
Thank you so much for sharing! I can’t wait to buy some of these.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Amazon is great for finding a lot of things. The Canadian version of Amazon doesn’t have as much variety though so I am always looking for companies that will ship to Canada.

Everything’s made in China nowadays! there’s really no way around it…. these all seem like great deals 😀
Yes, these are really good prices. They sell essentially the same products in the US for a lot more, so why overpay. We’re smart cookies over here, aren’t we? 🙂
I get my from amazon as well 🙂
