Every two weeks like clockwork I carve out an hour for my favourite ritual: a gel manicure. There's something incredibly satisfying about walking out of the salon with perfectly polished nails—it's a small luxury that brings a surprising amount of calm to my otherwise hectic schedule.
My go-to shades often mirror the season: soft nudes for spring, bold reds in winter and the occasional pastel blue when I'm feeling playful. But let's be honest: life doesn't always align with our nail appointments. Between work deadlines, social events and just trying to stay on top of everything, making time for a salon visit often feels like a logistical challenge.
So, you can imagine my thrill (and I'll admit—a little scepticism at first) when I discovered Sassy Saints—a game-changer for anyone who loves a fresh manicure but struggles to fit regular appointments into their routine.
Sassy Saints has completely redefined how I approach nailcare. The brand's nail kits are the ultimate solution for busy schedules, offering an at-home experience that doesn't skimp on results. The application process is refreshingly simple—It takes me an hour to achieve salon-worthy nails that last up to three weeks, all without leaving my house. The chrome kits are particularly impressive and include everything you need from prep to finish. And the colours? Stunning.
Ahead of a recent week packed with back-to-back events and no time for a salon session, Sassy Saints came to the rescue. Not only did my nails look flawless but they also held up beautifully, and I got so many compliments.
There are two things I particularly love about Sassy Saints: the range of shades and the fact that there's no need for UV or LED light. This is because the powder combined with the activator (find out exactly how the system works below) hardens naturally in the air. Yes, really.
Each kit comes with a basecoat, activator, topcoat, brush cleaner, powder brush, cuticle pusher, nail file, cuticle oil and three powder colours of your choice; all designed to make the process seamless (there’s even a specially formulated Remover Set (£12) for when you're ready to switch shades).
Right now, I'm eyeing a few more colours to add to my collection, including Bordeaux Babe (£12), a rich burgundy perfect for the festive season, and Sparkle Suede (£12), a super-chic shimmery nude. If you're after something classic, you can't go wrong with French Flair (£12)—the ultimate nude that works year-round. Honestly, these kits make me wonder why I didn't try at-home manicures sooner.
How to Use Sassy Saints Nail Kit:
1. Prep Your Nails: Start by shaping and buffing your nails using the included nail file, then gently push back your cuticles.
2. Apply Primer: Use the primer to ensure your nails stay on for 3+ weeks.
3. Apply Base Coat & Dip in Colour: Apply a thin layer of base coat, dip your finger into the powder, and repeat this process four times on each nail.
4. Seal with Activator: Apply the activator twice and buff with the nail file.
5. Finish with Top Coat: Apply two layers of top coat for ultimate shine.
6. Hydrate Your Cuticles: Use the cuticle oil provided to nourish your nails and skin.
