Ditch the Salon With Le Mini Macaron’s Viral Gel Manicure Kits

Gel manis any time, anywhere? Yes, please.

With summer events coming up like weddings, graduation parties, pool parties, barbecues, birthdays, vacations, and more, we need to know that our nails will be looking snatched, even when we’re short on time. And by “short on time,” we mean that going to a salon every other week is basically out of the question. Luckily, TikTok knows just what we need (as per usual, honestly).

Le Mini Macaron has been all over our socials, and its gel manicure kits are not only super cute, they’re an efficient way for us to get shiny, gorgeous nails as we hop from event to event. Bonus: With most of the kits just under $40, they make for a lovely gift for the friend whose nails are always giving.

Even better, the AAPI co-founded brand offers plenty of gel manicure kits you can choose from, including the new Pearlescence Kit, which would be so cute for any weddings you or your giftee might have coming up; the Milkshake Kit, which has serious beach vibes with its white polish; the Licorice Kit, which is giving timeless chic; and the new Maxi J’adore Paris Kit, which packs four red and pink shades. But if none of those fit your vibe, there are plenty of other colors to choose from.

The kits have everything you need to do your nails in a pinch. You’ll get the nail polish that corresponds with each kit, of course, but there’s also get a little nail file, a cuticle pusher, a nail polish remover wipe for each finger, and — the pièce de résistance — the tiny macaron-shaped LED lamp that matches the color of the nail polish in the kit. We love a coordinated moment.

Once you have the lamp, though, you can come back to Le Mini Macaron to stock up on more polishes in a bunch of tones, from neutrals to pastels to bright and bold colors.
