Another helpful tip is to gently file or rough up the nail covering on the side that goes onto the nail just as you do your natural nail. Helps with that staying power and to not lift.
Extremely helpful! You should definitely etch the inside of your nail covers. Thank you 😊
I agree sweeti
I

What can we use to etch the cover? My emery boards too wide.
@@MMDavis-dw2fu you can use the efile on very low
Thank you for making this with short nails. Not all of us can wear 2 inch nails!
Completely understand!! ❤️
Yup this is why I subbed instantly lol I love finding channels that do more than just long nails or “short” nails that are actually still really long lol.
Agreed
Yes! Thanks so much!
Right?! My contacts make it impossible for me to have long nails even though I love them
As a musician I can’t have long nails almost ever so I really appreciate whenever people take the time to make a tutorial for short ones. Subbed!
I concur. I'm a phlebotomist and while I have an appreciation for nail art, I have to keep mine short & basic. My nail beds suck so making polygel nails is perfect for me 💅🏾🤩.
Same lol.. had to switch to these cus of guitar ☹💔
Omg so with you! I'm so happy I saw this! About to do some polynails!
Thank you for making a polygel short nail diy guide. This vid was A+
Thank you for the feedback love!
Agreed and love tge results will try them . i do press on but sometimes they don't fell in all the finger
I also make sure to wash my bare nails with dawn dish soap to make sure there's no sneaky oils left. I make sure to do that before priming and dehydration
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
@@ericmoorev8913bruh wtf😭
These are the classiest, prettiest nails I've seen in a tutorial, and you gave me.so many tips about how to work with this darn poly gel. I'm ordering nail covers now!
I was wondering about nail covers
@@theresamiramontes6875 did you see her removing them????!!! 😐🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
@@giovannagiovanna6928 I did not see her remove them.
Me neither, so now wondering when to remove and how???
Brilliant application method! I love the fact that you used short nails 😍
And using the full nail as a template saves so much on product and control the nail length. BRILLIANT!!!
Thank you so much for making this video. I can only imagine what a labor of love it is to make all these videos. It’s extremely helpful and I adore how simple and elegant this set is. You are giving me the confidence to try polygels for myself. 💕
I really enjoy watching you,, I love to hear someone explains everything! I’m new at this,, i’ve just always done regular polish,, i’m getting ready to jump in to this different kind of things thank you and God bless you
So glad I found your channel. I could never form my own nails. Once I saw a few of your tutorials I purchased you nail covers. You don’t complicate the process! I look forward to trying this out!!
Aww thank you so much! I hope you love them 🥰❤️
@@AlexandraDixon can i use alcohol instead of slip solution?
I really appreciate this. I’m tried of spending 60 bucks on my nails for them to chip in 4 days. I’m not good at shaping and this will make it super easier for me!!!
Wow! This is absolutely the BEST, hands down, video on short length poly gel mixed with tips I've EVER SEEN!!!! Subscribed!
Love these! This nail shape and colour is perfect for that classy manicured ‘every day nail’ 💅🏼
Gorgeous. They suit you so well.
Thanks so much for this easier application of the polygel. The length is beautiful. I always did my nails sine early 1980s because I worked with dogs and inevitably broke them off the 1st day. Beautiful! Thanks so much for a shorter quick version of building the mail.
This is a freaking GAME CHANGER! I do my own nails with polygel, but could never get the dual forms to work so I just use paper forms and it takes FOREVER. Just tried this technique and whoa! Genius to use regular nails 💅 👏
Hi! Do you take the nail forms off after curing? I didn't see her do that. Thanks in advance!
@@glockgirl6572 Asking myself the same question. I know that dual forms come off but not sure about these ones
Thank you I'm new at this poly gel nail thing, I love the short look of nails.
This is a great video. I have one concern. How do you remove them when you're ready for a new set? Can you do a video with the take down process?
Beautiful work and tutorial! And I love the short nail example! I just got my first poly gel kit and did my own nails and learned so much from watching your video to help me along! ❤️
I’m about to do these for the first time and this video is fantastic. Thanks for the good instruction.
I use to be a nail tech... I seen polygel on TikTok and never seen or heard of it before. Heck yeah makes it easier for me to do my nails 😀. And thanks for making this video I learned something 😁
Question...did you leave the nail covers on your nails? I see you apply the covers, but I don't see you take them off?
She took them off
@@Isabella-cu4weTHANK YOU, I WAS SO confused for a sec
@@ChaoticDatGirlNxtDoor Your welcome my mom has this kit.
Just started watching your videos ❤ I just became cancer free for the third time and can’t go to get my nails done because of all the strong smells I can’t wait to try this ❤️ NINI from Connecticut
This is so coool! I've just started looking into polygel to give it a try, I had no idea nail covers were a thing!!! Thank you :))
This was great to watch. My nails grow squared naturally and I prefer the shorter nails. I'm going to try this. Thank you 😊
I usually love longer lengths but I will definitely try this. They look so natural
I like to switch it up too! ❤️
Woooow I love this Polygel nail gorgeous as I'm not a long nail person this one is definitely a must
Omg these nails are perfect. You did such an amazing job! I can’t wear very long nails so these are absolutely perfect. You make it look so easy. Great job!
Thank you so much for your tutorial Alexandra the way you taught this class was as giving as it gets you left nothing out soooo good for an autistic 50 yr old menopausal woman living in the middle of no where down in Tasmania I'm truly inspired your a gem and when you said just watch me work I was in heaven. ❤
Thank you so much! This is the clearest tutorial I've seen.
Thank you for the feedback! ❤️
You go girl! You'd just hit 1k subscribers before posting this video. You're over 26k now. You... better.... work!!!!!
Your tutorial was perfect for this beginner. I love your extra little tips to be careful with.
I've watched different videos and yours is not too long and very specific. All of my questions were answered and I would recommend your video to anyone, especially beginners like myself :) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Thank you!! ❤️
@@AlexandraDixon so where are you from
Love how these look! I’m wanting try myself! I’m wondering if you take the clear nail covers off after you cure it, like dual forms.
i love how you do your nails they look so natural thank you
Loved the vid!! Question, after you put the polygel on the nail cover and cure it, do you pop the nail cover off or does it stay on?
I was wondering the same thing.
It comes off
Same question!! When we’re they “popped off”?!!
same question
Was wondering this same thing lol
Thank you this really helped me. I didn’t have to cut the forms I just filled them to the length I liked
Yes! A real set of nail and not claws! Lol
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Can't wait to try this. I usually use shellac but I always want slightly longer nails so this might be better
This is my natural length, but one keeps breaking. Love that you showed for shorter nails. Thank you!
I love it. It looks so natural. Classy! 😍
Oh thank you so much for making this video your nails look amazing! I’ve watched other videos I honestly could not understand how to do it until I watched your video I can’t wait to do mine
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Thank you so much for every step.. you were my 11th video and the only one that had complete details. This my first time using this. I'm doing my daughter's nails.. Thanks again!!
Tina and Tayllor
Thank you for doing a clear and concise tutorial. I definitely hit that subscribe button!
Thank you love!! ❤️
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
This is the first video that gave real tips and not just doing it and said there was tips.😂 Thank you.
You’re awesome thank you for your tutorial it was the most helpful especially for us who prefer shorter nails! You did a beautiful job!
Classy nails?! Finally! Thanks so much.
The nails are stunning, do you remove the nail covers after cureing?
Same question but it doesn't look like it. She put clear polish on them.
I learned very important steps that are not explained, appreciated!!!
You made that look so easy. I can’t wait to try my own. Thanks
Wow what a great video you were very explanatory and showed each step and I love it that you did it for a short nails.
Love the length as well as the simplicity!
This looks so amazing I I was wondering did I miss a step? Did you take off the nail shapers? Lol sorry
I was wondering the same?
I do not! I keep them on ❤️ they are soft gel full nail covers unlike dual forms which are plastic. Hope this helps ! @acswifey2031
@@AlexandraDixon yes thank you so much! Do they last a while
@@AlexandraDixon what slip solution do you use the kitS don't always cone with it
@@brittneydanellemue4625 You can use alcohol solution basically Alcohol
I just bought my first set of polygel and haven't seen the tip to use nail covers instead of the typical forms before, I definitely will try that since I have some on hand.
I’m about to book my poly gel course! It does look amazing. And your nails look beautiful xx
thanks so much for doing this with short nails! As a pianist I can’t have super long nails so this was super helpful!
This a great video tutorial and it looks beautiful! I’d like to understand the purpose of the tip not being popped off? Why not do a dual form this short?
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
Wow, you are AMAZING. I like your video the best you’re a very talented nail designer with precise teaching techniques. Thank you so very much!
Thank you for this! Especially your tips! You’ve inspired me to dive in! Beautiful job!
I really like these nails!!! I didn't know you could use full nails with poly gel. I've seen people use full nails as forms, then they take them off after curing the gel so I didn't know the nail tips would stay on.
Do u leave the nail cover on or take off. I’m assuming take them off. I tried these and like them but had a hard time getting the form off an even ruined a few nails was wondering how to keep the full nail cover from sticking poly gel so they pop off
I have been wanting to try out poloygel for my sister and I and this tutorial has been the best one so far thank you so much for the helpful tips🥰
You have such pretty hands
Ooooh, nice video. I have worker with dip powder, acrylic, and gel polish so this is exciting. Been wanting to try polygel so thanks for this tutorial. Looking forward to trying my kit.
Do you pop off the mail covers after curing ? Love your videos too!!!
Lol I’ve been wanting to know this also and so have others but haven’t gotten and answer yet and also how do u get them off if the nail forms r removed
Wow!! I did not know that you can use soft nail as for poly forms nails. I like this process better.
This was SO HELPFUL! I really want to try doing my own nails - and this was so helpful. Thank you so much 👏🏼💗💗
That looks SO FUN! I WISH I could do that too!!! 😭 I get a LOT of negativity, just for painting my nails! I hate the idea of how people would react, if I was to do this! Sometimes, guys want to feel pretty too, you know.
Love this tutorial I can't have my nails too long because of the work I do can I ask how long they will last?
Thank you so much! ❤️ they should last around 2 weeks as long as you prep your natural nails properly!
She definitely made this look easy ❤😊 Great job
I’m going to try some short nails x
😍 let me know how it goes!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
So helpful. I want to jump in and try them! I tried other types of nails and when poly gel came out, I was very curious. Your video is perfectly paced for beginners like me! Thank you!!
Thank you love! ❤️
So you leave the nail cover on ?
A question: normally you take off the dual form after the polygel is cured and it supposed to come off easily. So with this method, will the nail cover lift up and come off in time? Can you just separate it from the cured polygel? Maybe I misunderstand something here. It looks super pretty and natural though and I really want to try the method. Thank you
I didn't see her take the form off, I'm confused... help!
@@CJSmith-jm5fjsame!
I came to ask the same question
I’m confused as well??? Did she leave the form on? And you have to cure these right? I missed that part
Yes, they all have to be cured...and I'm wondering whether or not this is what's known as the "lazy girl" method, and if it is, I believe they keep the nail cover on. I never did get the advantages of one method over the other.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was super easy to follow,and I loved the results.
Your videos are great! Question: Do you remove the nail covers after curing or do they stay on? I’ve watched most of your videos but I never see you take them off. Thanks!
Great question, I replayed the video and still couldn’t figure out when are they removed or if they stay on.
@@caramelo1120 you remove it once cured
@@Nerdyunicorn1 thanks fr
You make this look easy, thank you
I just stumbled onto your tutorial and I have 2 questions. Can you remove the nails if your using them as a substitute to dual forms? Can you do a tutorial of your removal with the covers? I found on Amazon both short and medium length nails. You are right they are the perfect no fuss size but I do not want to keep the covers on. Also if I keep the covers on, how can I remover them? What solutions do you use to remove them with? Sorry if I added questions but I really want to know before purchasing. Thank you
You're nails look so natural !!!!
Thank you! ❤️
I'm confused. Did you leave the covers on or pop them off? Look very nice, whatever you did.
I think she removed the covers because she mentions the top of the poly gel having a sticky or tacky layer.
She usually leaves them on
Hey girl! Thank you 😊 I keep the full nail covers on! Since they are soft gel covers they mesh with the polygel and do not come off unlike dual forms which are plastic!
I had the same question because it was hard for me to pop the covers off and I jacked up the nail.. this makes sense now why 500 come to a kit 😆
@@samanthaotero8430 That's why I was confused. :)
Thank so much this is my first time watching I appreciate it
Im going to do mine again today, patience patience patience. I did horrible lol
It is a nice color...very natural. I like the length, too. Thank you.
This probably a ridiculous question, but do you leave the nail forms on or do you take them off after curing? You did not address this. Thank you 😊
Not ridiculous! I leave them on love 💕
Omg, you have the most gorgeous hands!
Wait, so did you use the poly gel almost like your “glue” underneath the nail to hold it to your natural nail, or did you use the fake nail to form the gel and then remove it after curing? I’ve never got poly gel before, costs too much in the salon but regular gel nails are making my natural nails weak, so I’m looking to try something new
Yeah I don’t understand this method either. The whole point of polygel is to have natural enhanced nails. The nail covers should just be the form..🤔
Came here to ask this same question. Do you use the cover as a form or did it stay on after curing the polygel?
I think she uses the poly gel as the adhesive and color and the nail cover stays on for strength. The nail cover is also clear, so the color comes through.
it's used as a form to shape the gel and hold it while it's curing under the light. after 30 seconds, you pop off the nail form and you're left with the gel, which she said leaves a sticky residue you clean off, then you file the nails to the shape you want.
after that, you can choose to treat it like a natural nail and put colored polish on, she chose to leave them bare because she likes the color of the gel she has.
the nail form comes off.
@@jaeesmichelle Thanks for explaining If this is a tutorial for beginners, it would've been helpful to explain that AND show it.
Thank you again. I did my nails last night and they came out beautiful. I’m very happy with them. Thank you for letting us know a different option. ❤️❤️
You need to put a little more detail into the video was a little confusing
Will do ! Thank you for the feedback love ❤️
@@AlexandraDixon it wasn't confusing to me and this is the first video I've ever seen on these... in fact, I thought it was kind of long lol
Maybe you should make a long one and a short one lol, jks
It was a great video 🍻
Thanks. I love an active length because I type a lot for work.
I love the short Square nails 👍
Best tutorial! I need flat short nails!
Question, you left the nail tips on?
I like that tip to put extra gel into the next form so you don’t waste it 👍
Thank you. The easiest and most througho video I have seen.
I googled, and your channel came up. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for this I have been wanting to do my nails for the longest but I wear contacts and don't be messing in my eyes. I finally found a way to remove the contacts safety. So thanks to you I can do that and have beautiful nails. Thanks.
Your hands are gorgeous! That might sound weird but you should seriously be a hand model! I’m so jealous lol
Hi , loved the video however I need to know how to cure the gel
Thank you finally a proper beginners video to follow appreciate your time🙏🏽
Love the shorter more realistic nails🥳
Great video. Thank you! I'm still not confident to try this myself but I'll hit up the nail salon. lol
Love your pandora rings🥰
Glad I found your video! This method is perfect. I have tons of dule forms but this is so much easier.
does she leave the nail covers on ?
