Hi dear u explain nice and well understood. I'm a beginner i have bought a nail kit i was afraid to give it a try but now i have a confident that i would do it. Tnx for the videos from 🇿🇦
Thank you so much for your kind words! Remember, it's okay if it's not perfect the first time - that's completely normal. Poly Nail Gel does require some practice to master. Make sure to watch all our tutorial videos for the best tips and tricks. Keep practicing and enjoy your nail kit!
I just got some today and did a lot of research beforehand. The application itself went incredibly well. It was pretty easy! However the curing is another story. The very top layer won’t cure at all even when placed back in the lamp. I tried putting a top coat, but brushing it on put on a lot of texture to the nail and made it gritty and not pretty and smooth like when I first removed from the lamp. I tried 90% alcohol, same issue. What did I do and how can I fix it?
I have very flat nails, so I've discovered that I have to put a lot of pressure on the dual form otherwise it lifts. For some nails I even had to keep pressure while curing, but this makes the nail very thick. Any advise?
I have flat nail beds too. What helps for me is I put a thin layer of builder gel on my natural nail then cure before you ad any polygel. Wipe off the tacky layer before applying your form with the polygel. Hope this helps 😊
Soooo too much slip solution can cause them to pop off 30 mins after too?! 😭 bc i think that’s what happened to me yesterday…also I was able to easily break the nails on half they felt more like plastic than gel 😮
Hello, thank you for tuning in. If you've used an excessive amount of slip solution, allow it to air dry a bit longer to ensure it's completely dry before curing. It's important to avoid trapping the slip solution within the polygel, as curing only the outer layer can lead to a less durable gel. You only need enough slip solution to easily maneuver the product around. Remember, practice makes perfect. Focus on one nail at a time and then cure.
@@glowtipsofficial okay. I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this: I just bought a new slip solution and it's like syrup. My Planet Nails slip solution was like water and the Meet Across and Mitsuu solutions are both syrupy. Yet the syrupy ones were incredible. They didn't water down the gel like I'm used to with the PN one. It only moved the gel around but the gel didn't soak it up at all. By far the best slip solutions were the syrupy ones. Just fill a small dish with pure alcohol or you're going to be wasting a lot of time and losing a lot of brushes.
When I put the gel with the dual forms on my nail it slides and slips around and doesn’t sit as tight as yours. So when I flip it over to try to smoothen the back side, the dual form always moves out of place. So I usually end up with crooked nails or thick back sides 😓 Help!
Hello, I'm really sorry to hear that the polygel isn't meeting your expectations :( One tip you could try is placing it in a cool spot or the fridge for a few minutes to see if it firms up. Some polygel can be a bit runnier in warmer climates, so that might be affecting it. If this doesn't solve the issue, it might be best to reach out to the brand you purchased it from. Alternatively, you're welcome to check out the options on our website. I hope this advice is helpful! glowtips.co.uk/
Heyyy so I noticed the same issue . I found it was because of the slip solution. So I would wait a bit for the slip to dry before purting it on the nail
Thank you, I am glad that you find this video helpful. The burning sensation you feel when curing polygel under a nail lamp is likely due to the rapid polymerization process. When the UV or LED light hits the polygel, it triggers a chemical reaction that generates heat, known as an exothermic reaction. If you use our brand polygel and our nail lamp, you won't experience this burning sensation because we thoroughly tested our products together before production. If you are using a different brand, try using the low-power mode on your nail lamp. It will take longer to dry, but at least for the first 30 seconds cure until the polygel it's cured, then switch to the normal mode to continue curing. This process is called gradual curing. I hope this answers your question :)
I forgot to answer your question. Yes, it's normal for this to happen with gel products, including builder gel. It depends on the ingredients used by the manufacturer. The heat spike you feel is according to that.
Do you know how to remove the buffing marks before putting on the top coat? I find mine don’t look as smooth as others and it looks like you can see the scratches underneath the top coat
@@kerrageouslynn9882 I'd recommend avoiding an 80grit file for your polygel nails as it's quite coarse and can be too abrasive. Polygel is a bit more delicate than other nail enhancements, so it's important to use a file that suit. A 180grit nail file would be much more suitable. If you need something a bit coarser, you could go down to a 100 grit file, but that should really be the lowest you go. Just remember, the lower the grit number, the rougher the file. We want to keep your nails looking beautiful and healthy, so choosing the right file is key!
That's a great question! If you have flat nails, consider using a flatter dual form. We offer both curved and flat dual forms - you can check out the flatter ones here:glowtips.co.uk/search?q=dual+form . Besides dual forms, there are various methods for applying polygel nails. For instance, you can use paper forms, and here's our tutorial on that: th-cam.com/video/LcTzTwpIL_M/w-d-xo.html . Applying polygel over natural nails is another option, and we have a video guide for it here: th-cam.com/video/g4FvxL7Zd9Y/w-d-xo.html . You can also go for nail tips. Each of these methods offers unique benefits and can be chosen based on what you're looking to achieve, your comfort level with the technique, and the specific design you have in mind. Hope this helps you out!
Hii! How long do they last? Mine always just fall off they don't stay on even for 5 minutes 😢, but i didn't use base coat is that a problem? What does base coat do why is it important??
Hi, you will need base coat gel polish before applying Poly Nail Gel. You can read more on our blog here, we explain the reason why :) glowtips.co.uk/pages/base-coat-polynailgel
I would suggest watching nail Career Education. she is a nail tech who works with acrylic and gel the techniques to smooth out both of these are the same. it's very possible your problem is technique when putting down the product.
I bought Morvan poly gel. I buff my nails. I use a dehydrator, the nail gets hard and cures under the lamp but for some reason it is not sticking to my nail bed. The poly gel comes off completely. Does anybody know what I’m doing wrong?
Hi, thanks for reaching out and watching our video! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your poly gel. Even though you've used a different brand, I'm here to help. It sounds like you're doing everything right with buffing and dehydrating. Have you tried applying a base coat right after the dehydrator? The base coat can enhance adhesion, helping the poly gel stick to your nail bed more effectively. Give this a try and see if it makes a difference!
If you discover that the dual form is too small for your thumb, you have a couple of alternatives. First, you could opt for a larger dual form. Alternatively, use the largest dual form available and apply the first layer of polygel to your dual form and onto your thumb, followed by curing it under the nail lamp. After this, proceed with a second layer of polygel, this time applying it freehand, to fill in any uncovered areas. It's important to be meticulous during this process, ensuring that the polygel doesn't come into contact with your skin or get too close to the sidewalls of your nails. Hope this helps!
The amount of gel you use will vary based on whether you opt for long or short nails. For longer nails, a larger bead of gel is required, while shorter or overlay nails only need a smaller bead. The best way to determine the precise amount is through practice. As you continue, you'll naturally gauge how much product each nail requires. Remember, practice makes perfect. If you find you've applied too much gel on a nail, simply use the brush to transfer the excess to the next nail. Hope this helps 💗
Hi, this situation is quite uncommon and something we haven't come across previously. It appears that condensation is occurring inside the bottle, likely a result of air getting trapped inside, leading to moisture formation. If the product is less than three years old and its texture remains consistent, it should still be okay to use. However, to ensure the best application, it's advisable to use a cotton bud to absorb any excess moisture from the polygel before applying it to your nails.
Hello, thank you for watching our video. After curing the gel, it should be completely cured/dried. When you try to remove the dual form, your gel shouldn't remain intact with the dual form. If it is still sticky, it means it is not properly cured, and you will have to cure it under the lamp for a bit longer. Once you find out it has been completely cured, gently wiggle your dual form from left to right, and repeat this step until you can remove it. You can watch our tutorial here at the time stamp 4.13. I hope this helps :) th-cam.com/video/sKoO5gRhtQU/w-d-xo.html
Hello, there are several factors that might affect the curing of your polygel. Firstly, ensure your lamp is compatible, ideally 36w or more. For our polygel with our lamp, a 60-second cure is recommended. However, different brands might suggest different times, so it's best to follow the specific guidelines. If the polygel isn't fully cured, try extending the cure time by an additional 30-60 seconds to determine the ideal curing period for your product. Remember, complete curing is essential before applying any gel polish. Also, check out our other polygel video for more tips which you might find it helpful - th-cam.com/video/x82Vd58vHnI/w-d-xo.html . Hope this helps :)
When I say AIR BUBBLES I mean AFTER I have placed the form on my finger and I try to move it under the lamp. I looks fine and I swear I am not moving it but when I pull it out I see a bubble 😭
Hi, unfortunately both UV and LED lamps emit small amounts of UV rays. We suggest you to wear the fingerless tips black gloves and apply sun screen on your hand before using any of these nail lamps.
That’s a great suggestion! I’ll pass it along to our team so we can include it in our next video. For a rough idea of how much gel to apply to your nail, you can check out this video - th-cam.com/video/sKoO5gRhtQU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UJxCo0uWSztixvTq&t=272.

Hey, glad to hear the application went smoothly! As for the top layer of polygel not curing, do you mean it’s still soft in texture? Or has the polygel hardened but there’s a sticky layer that feels uncured?
@@glowtipsofficial it’s hardened, but there’s a sticky layer that won’t cure. I’ve had my nail under the lamp for a solid 10 minutes and still sticky. It looks good until a hair or dust from filing gets on it, then it gets this horrid texture.
@@alize0623 If the Polygel has hardened, it's fully cured. It's normal to have a sticky layer on top after curing-no need to over-cure.
