I’ve only used my kit once and got discouraged after trying it 😔. This gives me motivation to try again!! Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Holidays!!
It definitely takes a few tries but I promise you’ll get the hang of it!! If you run into any problems DM me and Instagram and I can walk you through it one on one ❤️
I used my kit for the first time and followed you step by step and my nails don't look bad at all! Thank you! I can barely paint my nails. If they look this good on my first try, I will only get better!
Very simple and to the point. Really appreciate that. Can't stand when a vlogger has to act all funny, sweet, positive blah blah blah. Telling me to subscribe. I can hear your confident laid back and calm personality. And a LOVE it. Subscribed.
This was a great beginner tutorial. I just got my first kit and am about to give it a whirl. I have watched a bunch of videos but yours was paced perfectly! Thank you. Wish me luck!
Love your videos. I like how you don’t sound really fake in your videos. Very professional. So sick of you tubers that sound like all they want are subs. This is very refreshing. The area right above your cuticles come out so perfect!!
WOW! You have done the Best tutorial on the poly gel technique that I've found! My products haven't even arrived yet. But I wanted to find a channel where I can come to walk me through every step and it's this channel! I subscribed and I'm happy to see that you have plenty content that I can learn from 💜
Thank you for this tutorial. I just got a polygel kit and thought I'd watch some tutorials before trying it for the first time. I really liked how you showed how to keep from wasting it too. Thank you.
ive watched many tutorials then came across this wee gem!!! so glad i did, i took notes and saved the video iam defo going to buy now and follow every step...many thanks Alexandra
I love your videos, especially this one on explaining how to do your nails step by step. I tried doing my nails last night but they keep lifting so there’s a gap between my nail and tip at the front, any tips on how to stop that from happening?
ive been 2 hours trying to remove the dual form from my nail but it wont come off, but i’ve seen everyone removing it so easily. i will try to squeezing it like u did hopefully it’ll help. thank you for the video 💕
You're so wonderful at explaining very Is meticulous thank you for that! Even and how long we cure them!! And you answered my other question in the other video if we can use alcohol for slip solution so you rock!! I will be watching other videos for sure very informative thank you and they look wonderful
thank you so much i started polygel but it was so thick and bas looking i gave up. you explained something in this video that showed why it happened im trying again today for yule nails
I know this video is a couple of years old but I just bought a kit and was scrolling and came upon your tutorial. You really make it look so easy and you did an amazing job! I was wondering about the removal. Do you also have a video explaining how to remove the polygel nails? once again you did a great job!
Alexandra, I love your videos. They are so informative and helpful. I already purchased a lot of the tools and supply’s you have been working with. I want to do a French with the tips you had in another video, with a pink underlay. Could you make a video showing us how please?
I just received my nail tips and I am so excited about trying to do my own polygel nails! When sizing the dual form, if it fits from side wall to side wall is there supposed to be a slight space between the dual form and the cuticle area or should it be flat on the cuticle area like a press on nail would be??
You should use more slip to get a smoother surface so you’re not tapping or smashing your brush to put that kink in the bristles. Pat and glide in a sweeping motion to distribute the poly gel.
I bought my polygel kit at the beginning of the pandemic after trying acrylic and sucking at that I've only tried my apologize kit once or twice and I saw all the tiktok videos how you just squirt someone on your nail and squish the dual form on and that's messy as hell 😂but I'm going to use your method today and try it wish me luck 🤞🧡
That was a awesome tutorial..do u do your nails every 2 to 3 weeks? How many times did it take you to get it?should I buy a kit or things individually?sorry so many questions 🥰
I love this video but I have a few questions. Can I not buff my nails, and still have them long lasting? And I only have a top/bottom coat, do I need something else or more?
Thank you for the video. I just tried my polygel kit for the first time! I’m sad to say I’m discouraged because when I put the polygel in the dual form it won’t stick to my finger. It just keeps lifting..and I followed all the steps to prep my nails before hand. I just don’t understand what I’m missing or doing wrong.
Hmm, it definitely sounds like a prep issue. You may need to invest in a dehydrator. Make sure you are taking alcohol and getting all the dirt off your nails. Your cuticles also must be off the nail bed even if you think you don’t see them make sure you push them back. The alcohol will also help dehydrate your nail. But maybe you should purchase a nail dehydrator then do primer and then base coat. Also make sure your nail bed has scratches in it with a file or e drill or the product won’t stick! Let me know if this helps solve your issue. If it doesn’t leave a new comment and we can dig deeper ! ❤️
Thank you, I have the dehydrator and primer I think the issue might be not filing my nails enough for the proper adhesion. I will try again and let you know how I do. Thank you again.
Alexandra, you are so sweet. Thank you so much for the advice. I’m a retired Flight attendant and I just turned 50.I’m home all the time now and I find myself really bored. So here’s to pretty nails and makeup! I’ll be sure to send you a picture of my first set. ( don’t laugh to much when you see it) Thank you again.
I LOVE that the content creator took the time to personally answer this question! 👏👏👏👏 If I hadn’t already subscribed, I would immediately hit that button. It’s a pet peeve of mine when content creators ignore their subscribers. This really shows a person’s desire to help vs. just going in for the number of subscribers.
Thank you so much for this fresh video about dual forms! I'm waiting for my kits and going insane during, so this video really helps 😍 Happy holidays 🎄🤗
Hey girl I wanted to ask you a question I was wondering how can I remove the poly gel nails from my fingers if you could give me any tippers I will appreciate it I thank you God bless you always and very happy with your blog I love it and keep doing the good work
i have a question being new i have tried poly gel with dual forms, why do my poly gel nails feel very tight and make my fingers hurt? i hope i explained my problem and that you can answer my question. ty for great video much love to you xx
You make it look soo easy!! I’m doing all of the steps, but on my pinkies I’m getting horrible air bubbles. Ive gone up a dual form size to try and rectify this, but I’m still having this problem any tips??
Thank You 11/04/3023 i bought a cheap polygel i don't know the consistency but i did not like it, it was cery sticky then the forms were thin. I will order Modelones when i can.
Awesome video thanks so much it's the forms for me 🤦♀️😂 they won't stay on long enough to cure 🤦♀️🤣 and that clear gel from modelones is super sticky it's so hard for me to work with but I just ordered some clips because the forms keep falling off 🤦♀️😂
how come when I put my dual form it doesn’t stick to my nails like how yours did. Like it always slips and move up when I let go. Does it mean it’s the wrong size???
I just tried out a polygel kit from Amazon and when I was filing them they kept breaking off 😕 I re-did them because I thought I did them too thin but it kept happening again. Any advice?
I’ve tried doing this a few times but it just looks wrong like my nails are super wide, I don’t know if my forms are too wide but if I size down It would miss some nail either side
hi very nice i just wona ask can i use any nail if i have the gel or it nessecry i should only buy artificial nail acrylic for uv is there any difference?
Hi! I’m brand new to poly gels and dual forms. I hope you can help me. I cannot figure out, how to flip my nail to do the underside correctly. If I just flip my nails upside down and start trying to spread out the poly gel, my nail comes off. If I put my nail on the table so it doesn’t fall off while I spread it, it gushes out my sidewalls and cuticle area. I can clean that up but then if the nails are a sheer color like you just did, it’s more sheer where I did the clean up. I’m mostly practicing on my right hand, because if I can do my dominant hand, I can do the other. I even bought those gimmick little clips and it gushes out when I put those on my nails. Help me not have a blob under my nails, please! It’s something that drives me a little looney, to feel a blob of something under your nails all the time. Can you do a second dual form on top of another one? Do you have to use gel polish if you want to polish them. I just bought black & white gel polish from Markartt. I can use that on top, right? I still have a lot to learn, appreciate any guidance you can offer.
Question.. My smaller tubes of polygel are all extremely sticky & stringy, I purchased them from Amazon back in 2021, & God knows how old the kit was before I purchased it. My question is are those tubes useless? Does polygel get old? & the glitter colors are 10 times more stickier & more stringy than solid color tubes. Should I just toss my tubes of polygel?
When I press firmly on the nail i try to take it off a little to see if it’s secure enough and stuck but instead it comes off , so when I put it under my nail lamp will that make it stay?
I need help everytime I try to put the nail form on with the polygel in it , it doesn't stick to my nail it just keeps bubbling and lifting off what am I doing wrong x
Why did my top coat remain sticky or tacky at the end? I used 50% and 70% alcohol to rub it off. It stayed sticky. Then I washed my hands a lot. Stayed the same, sticky. Eventually it stopped being sticky, but no glossy finish. I had basically rubbed off all my top coat.
How can you flatten out the bottom of the nail without moving the form? Also what if it goes on the skin under the nail because the nail is extremely short? I recently had a bad thumb nail break that is deep in the nail bed so I got polygel to cover the skin.
I suck at dual forms. I just did a set and I still have to go in and fix stuff. The dual forms don’t fit my nail beds and then I try and file them and I guess I’m not doing it right to get them to fit. It’s a struggle.
I've watched a few videos n they all say they are taking the polygel right off after the video. Just curious if acrylic is preferred or if your removing because doing a video for beginners your doing something more simple than you'd typically wear?
I use a peel off base coat so I can pop my nails right off after recording! I take them off because I record about 3 videos a week so if I were to really prep every time my natural nails would be destroyed haha!

Happy holidays 🎄🤗
No problem! Let me know how it goes 😊 happy holidays to you as well ❤️

Can you just do the base all at once and cure your whole hand and then do each nail with poly gel?
Hey girl I wanted to ask you a question I was wondering how can I remove the poly gel nails from my fingers if you could give me any tippers I will appreciate it I thank you God bless you always and very happy with your blog I love it and keep doing the good work

You make it look soo easy!! I’m doing all of the steps, but on my pinkies I’m getting horrible air bubbles. Ive gone up a dual form size to try and rectify this, but I’m still having this problem any tips??
Tbh I just smush the air bubbles out and then re flatten! ❤️
Thank You 11/04/3023 i bought a cheap polygel i don't know the consistency but i did not like it, it was cery sticky then the forms were thin. I will order Modelones when i can.
Awesome video thanks so much it's the forms for me 🤦♀️😂 they won't stay on long enough to cure 🤦♀️🤣 and that clear gel from modelones is super sticky it's so hard for me to work with but I just ordered some clips because the forms keep falling off 🤦♀️😂
Thank you this video is great. I’m just not sure how thick it should be at the tips?? Sorry for silly question x
Not silly! Tip should be thicker than cuticle but not too thick! Hope that makes sense
I really loveeee ur video!! Thanks ❤️❤️
Thank you! ❤️
I love your rings 😍
Thank you! 💕
Does the polygel dry quick? Like you did the one nail then put the rest in another nail. Does it dry fast?
how come when I put my dual form it doesn’t stick to my nails like how yours did. Like it always slips and move up when I let go. Does it mean it’s the wrong size???
I've tried dual forms, and the polygel gets on and around my cuticle, and then they end up lifting. What nail clippers did you use for that process?
I just tried out a polygel kit from Amazon and when I was filing them they kept breaking off 😕
I re-did them because I thought I did them too thin but it kept happening again. Any advice?
I’ve tried doing this a few times but it just looks wrong like my nails are super wide, I don’t know if my forms are too wide but if I size down It would miss some nail either side

This is a great video
THANK YOU!
9:36-9:45? Can you explain that? Are you saying you put more poly gel on or are you saying you’re curing your nail in sections?
What polygel kit should I get? I'm completely confused because there are so many
Okay I’m gonna try again! Lol I got a lot of flooding in the cuticles.
trying this tonight
took me 4 damn hours but i’d give mine like a 6 out of 10
Question.. My smaller tubes of polygel are all extremely sticky & stringy, I purchased them from Amazon back in 2021, & God knows how old the kit was before I purchased it. My question is are those tubes useless? Does polygel get old? & the glitter colors are 10 times more stickier & more stringy than solid color tubes. Should I just toss my tubes of polygel?

I need help everytime I try to put the nail form on with the polygel in it , it doesn't stick to my nail it just keeps bubbling and lifting off what am I doing wrong x
You have to clean the base after curring, in this way the polygel don't slip on the nails and it doesn't form bubbles air
Why did my top coat remain sticky or tacky at the end? I used 50% and 70% alcohol to rub it off. It stayed sticky. Then I washed my hands a lot. Stayed the same, sticky. Eventually it stopped being sticky, but no glossy finish. I had basically rubbed off all my top coat.
How can you flatten out the bottom of the nail without moving the form? Also what if it goes on the skin under the nail because the nail is extremely short? I recently had a bad thumb nail break that is deep in the nail bed so I got polygel to cover the skin.
Amazon sells nail clips you can use to hold the form in place while you clean the underside
Is curing and heat lamp necessary? I am brand new to this and I see that you can do it with or without light?
Do you have a video that shows how to remove the full covers
My wife would like to know if the base coat has to be dry before you put the duel forms and poly gel on.
yes, dry under uv/led then move on to polygel with the dualforms
HI PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW CAN I TAKE OFF THE FORM EASILY FROM MY NAIL AFTER I CURED IT.THANKS
Can you do a video on how to remove polygel?
I suck at dual forms. I just did a set and I still have to go in and fix stuff. The dual forms don’t fit my nail beds and then I try and file them and I guess I’m not doing it right to get them to fit. It’s a struggle.
Try checking out my other videos and different methods! Dual forms are definitely not my favorite either
How long do these nails 💅🏼 last ? How much for new set ?
I've watched a few videos n they all say they are taking the polygel right off after the video. Just curious if acrylic is preferred or if your removing because doing a video for beginners your doing something more simple than you'd typically wear?
I use a peel off base coat so I can pop my nails right off after recording! I take them off because I record about 3 videos a week so if I were to really prep every time my natural nails would be destroyed haha!
if we do get a dehydrator do we use a primer and base coat on top of it?
I don’t have a primer or dehydrator just a base coat, is the primer and dehydrator necessary?
Do it matter what kinda of clear nail you use for the polygel?
Hi, how long it's stay on your nails ? 😊🇨🇵
How many days or weeks its lasting
Thank you 😊🌸
