I was just going to ask for this! Yes please! Also, what is impact like on the nails? Comparable to regular gel, acrylics, dip powder? Etc? Please do a quick explanation if you can for the next one :)
@FlufftonTail monomer is generally used with acrylics because it needs to mix with the acrylic powder. Polygel/hybrid gel does not require a monomer to cure, but it uses rubbing alcohol as a "slip" solution
I’m a beginning nail tech and I was trying to figure out why my gel wasn’t touching side to side until you mentioned using a tip that was slightly bigger then your actual nail.. makes sense! And I found that it was way easier when using the clips. The nail come out way better lol clips are lifeee!

Nakita Raulerson I did it and they make it seem easier than it is . Might be my lack of experience but they don’t show everything that can or goes wrong during the process .
You make it look so easy. I use this and it takes me 2hrs to have decent looking nails... and even with all that time, some nails end up being thicker than others... Not to mention that you need to be careful with the liquid, because if the brush is too wet, the gel is not gonna work properly. 🤦🏽♀️
thicker nails is actually better. The nails that she did actually looked TOO thin. You need that strength so that the tip just doesn't break off. A little bit of a thicker nail is better for structure and strength
I started off with clear tips instead of just going for dual forms straight up It's better to have thicker nails as long as you build a good apex and you don't make it too thick around the cuticle
Jennifer Garay-Santiago Agreed . There’s so many things that can or do go wrong during the process and I wish they’d show that too . Specially for a beginner like me .
its crazy because i tried with the poly gel this morning and i could not get it. Word of advise do not take advice on doing nails from tiktok because they will mess you up.
I definitely need to try this!! They turned out pretty good, and it looks relatively simple. And a whole lot cheaper than getting my nails done at the salon.
Also a tip for anyone seeing this, don't touch the gel to your skin :) It can easily develop into an irreversible allergic reaction if you aren't careful.
I did this and spent 4 hours on applying + filing + decorating, and Two of them popped off not even a day later.. I buffed them and put on a primer, not sure how to make them Stick better
Okay I know this comment is from like a year ago but I have some advice. If fake nails aren't sticking as well it usually means your nailbeds are oily. If you dehydrate them with acetone before you start the nails should stay much longer. 👍
@@Haruchan1996 you would need to do both. so file ur nail beds and then apply acetone just with a q-tip to act as a dehydrator. best of luck with ur next set of nails!
I'm guessing this would be good for fixing those high nail breaks we sometimes get. Or maybe not? Can anyone tell me please. Has anyone used this for breaks. Trying to find something to repair my often high breaks without having to use the teabag method. Thanks in advance
I would love to try polygel, however I feel it won’t be strong enough. I don’t do heavy duty stuff nor do I recklessly forget I have fake nails on, but from the past experience of thin hard gel, I believe polygel just wouldn’t do. Have you tried polygel and what are your thoughts on my concerns?
pinkpam it’s actually very durable. I’m rough with my hands and they stay on just as long as acrylics. Also depends on which brand you use. I filmed a vid using MODELONES poly gel if you’re interested th-cam.com/video/5eEuxC3p59I/w-d-xo.html 🙂
Make sure your nails are properly prepped before applying. There are natural oils on your nails. Be sure to properly dehydrate the nail before application of the polygel
Thank you Thank you Thank you I have a complete kit And I can do gels and some acrylic (dont like acrylic lol) Self taught on all And tried these new ones and messed them up pretty bad now I know what i did wrong...
I've always struggled with Dual Forms personally. I can never get the right nail size for my nails, and my own natural nail is too curved for the forms to adhere the gel properly. Any tips on how to avoid bubbles or any bare spots with Dual Forms? I have the Makartt dual forms if that helps
I just did my first set and it came out pretty good. I love how you get enough time to play with the gel to make it perfect before curing. Hopeful they last long. I want to try French next
Yes, you can, although I would not recommend, dipping powder creates an another layer on top of the poly gel nails so it will make it thicker now thicker means there will be more risks of falling if faster so to sum that up yes, if you want it for that moment and not want it to last more than 2~3 weeks, it works
And you can’t do nothing with they don’t stay you can’t do dishes with them you can’t clean your house with them they fall off they’re not strong at all. I didn’t mind they Harding, and broke right off the whole thing junk
Mysummertouch- I like to prep my nails as I normally do when using gel, that is- file off any natural shine, shape, push back cuticles, brush or wash away dust, dehydrate, prime and a gel basecoat. 😀
I did my poly gel nails. I made the nails one day, let it sit for the night and the next day I put them on, cured them and filed! Comes out much nicer!
@Still Love I am guessing they might mean they did the gel portion on the forms and evened them out, so the next day, they could place them and do the rest of the work! Won't dry without curing, so I guess that works!
Quick question, when I put it through the LED light, should it burn or feel as a stinging sensation? I mean is that normal? And how long should I leave it in the light?
i just tried polygel nails for the first time and there were some growing pains... this vid helped explain a bit about why my methods werent working. BUT. They all pinged off like 2 mins later, even though i prepped my nails. Any tips?
Without uv or led it wont dry right. You cant do gel nails without one. So you would need to see if a store near you sells them or buy one off amazon before starting
Do you have to file your natural nails before applying? I have paper thin nails and can't wear acrylic nails because of it :( It makes me so sad because I love having cute nails and this looks like a good option :3
Help! Why does my dual form stick onto the polygel after curing? It always get stuck, and I have to use force or put a bit of acetone before it come off 😭
Gently squeeze the sides of the dual form then gently nudge from the sides instead of jiggling it. It pops off easier and does less damage to the nail matrix! If that's not the case, maybe your gel is not curing fully??
How sturdy is this? Im looking for something that won't break or come off, even when working a job that requires a lot of heavy lifting and a lot of hand movements

Just use alcohol... you don't need a "special liquid"
have you tried it before? if so did it work?

For anyone wondering.. the “special liquid” is rubbing alchohol

It’s a slip solution and it’s way greasier than alcohol

Also don't flood the sidewalls with the polygel, in fact stay away from skin. Build on the apex and you will have a stronger nail.
You need to work on your technique and use a consistent amount.
You can also use isopropyl alcohol to smooth out the polygel
I trying that but it still leaves bubbles n after break out
"egoísta" the brand of the gel, in Spanish means selfish haha
Also in Italian :D

Also in Hungarian😁
ENISA krasniqi yes because in Switzerland we talk Italian too lmao
in polish too

This was the easiest tutorial I've ever come across. Thank you! 🖤
I just bought a set and can’t wait to try them!
Also a tip for anyone seeing this, don't touch the gel to your skin :) It can easily develop into an irreversible allergic reaction if you aren't careful.
oh my god.
I always accidentally touch the gel, nothing happened. maybe it depends on the skin
This has never happened to me in 6 years but good to know just in case
@@sandrarilee6741 that allergy can get developed over time, if it happened there is no cure but to stop applying gel polish.
Do you know the allergen in the poly gel?
I absolutely love using this product. I just hope to get faster as it took so long to do a set but I am a bit of a perfectionist too 💁🏻♀️😬
Love Polygel, I've only used Gelish. I tried the dual forms but it wasn't successful. Maybe I should try again.
Try the forms they use for acrylics.
Question : how do you remove the polygel nails ? 🤔🤔I just wondering .
If there’s no primer and you don’t prep the natural nail what keeps it from not popping off?
Yes, the natural nails are already prepped in this video. Just do a light buffing + a non-acid primer.
cutepolish - How long do they last? Same as acrylic?

I think it’s kind of like acrylics, so even up to 3 weeks (not talking about fills!)

I am becoming more and more curious about using polygel for sculpting nail art. Could you do some tutorials on that please? Thank you.
Thank you so much! I got a kit and used forms that fit the nail completely and they all popped off. Will try this with slightly bigger forms
Make sure your nails are properly prepped before applying. There are natural oils on your nails. Be sure to properly dehydrate the nail before application of the polygel

Gently squeeze the sides of the dual form then gently nudge from the sides instead of jiggling it. It pops off easier and does less damage to the nail matrix! If that's not the case, maybe your gel is not curing fully??
I always see this on Pinterest 😫😂

You should try Gel X by Apres !!!
So what do you do with the base coat? Do you put it on before you put the poly gel on your name or-?
