A gift of self-care like a manicure is always a win. Whether you're treating yourself, your mom, or your best friend, it's safe to say that a little meaningful me-time goes a long way in uncertain times, like the ones we've presently found ourselves in. And if you're looking for a feel-good activity to do while spending time at home, consider the DIY nail kit.

Sure, back in the day a Dopp kit with stainless-steel nail clippers might have been a boring gift. But today, with the way nail art has blown up, manicure sets are chic and useful — with sharp trimmers, cuticle oil, topcoat, and an emery board, all held inside a carrying case that you won't want to hide inside a bathroom cabinet.

Ahead, the best manicure kits money can buy to bring the nail salon experience to your home.
