Ok, so I have watched a TON of these videos, and u are the very first that have mentioned the dangers of the light. So, props, girl! I'll definitely be watching more of yours now.
This is cute and you’re right about the LED lamp aging your skin. I always protect my hands with sunscreen and I also flash cure my nails so that the polygel stays in place until I’m done with all the nails and then I give the nails a full cure when I’m done.
@@thijdukjohnson yea most times 10 sec is good to flash cure, jus keep in mind the thickness of the polygel as well, if it’s too thick 10 seconds wouldn’t keep the polygel secure enough.
@@ertfgghhhh it’s actually UV LED Nail Lamps on a whole that ages skin, to my understanding all nail lamps are UV LED lamps if I’m not mistaken (I cud be wrong tho) But I just call them LED lamps 🤷🏽♀️😅
@@polygelcherael you are mistaken. There are uv, led, and uv/led lamps. Lamps that use uv light may affect your skin over time with prolonged exposure-not led. That is why people who use lamps with uv light wear tipless gloves as protection. There is no need if your light is just led. Led lights are used alot. For bug detection, dna detection, light sources ( in place of neon lights), etc. There are some gels that use uv light only. There are some that use led only. There are gels that use either/or light source.
That is so cool! You can use polygel on false full size nails 😱 I'm new to polygel, I've never used them before, have ordered some an hour ago expected to arrive tomorrow. I have some clear false nails in my room upstairs. That is such a brilliant idea, thank you so much for sharing and uploading your video, that's so useful. Bless you. Your nails looks fabulous.
I love them!!! I believe this style of nails and colour are the perfect ones for any kind of dress or outfit. You can be on the beach, in a wedding, at work, night go out....... perfect 💍
I asked for these as a Mother’s Day gift. They are hands down the best soft gel tips and tips in general I’ve ever used. I love the short coffin most. I type allllll day and often hold a dog as I work in a vets office and I can’t have long nails and not working I’m a single mom of two and constantly doing something or playing games etc and I can’t have long nails and these are absolutely amazing quality and the length is PERFECT!!!! i don’t even have to file the tips before putting on which is rare for me I use to have to file a nail or two around cuticle to fit perfect.
I just purchased some fingerless gloves for that same reason as I do my nails so often! Also these came out so cute I love the length i love short nails 😍😍
I tried it for the first time yesterday…. It took me literally 6 hours!!! And they’re not perfection. Did you take the covers off after they cured? I watched it twice but couldn’t tell.
Niiiice! I never figured I could use nail tips to form my nail. Love this. I love polygel nails. But the nail forms dual forms that come the the kit dont stay on my nail once i put the ploygel in it. I love how they stayed on in this video before you cured them. Im wondering is it the amount of polygel you used or the nail tip? 🤔 this is a great video. Your nails are beautiful!
Now that I’ve watched several of your Poly gel videos, I’m semi-terrified to try the process without the type of nails you keep in place vs. the dual nails that came in my kit!
You're nails look fantastic!! My kit is coming today and I've been looking up tutorials after seeing an advertisement showing a pea sized amount of polygel on a form then pressing on the nail. Now I keep seeing the brush technique. Apparently this way is better? I'm a bit nervous but watching your video makes me bit better. I have my alcohol ready (91 percent), extra brushes, wipes, etc. Lots to learn but wanted to try poly gel type nails after using gel kits and dip kits. Gel kits are still my favorite but I'm not the neatest at polishing my nails and the dip powder was not a great experience. This looks like a better option for nice looking nails, whoo hoo!!
Hi there! I just literally did my first poly gel left thumb nail😅❤and I am so excited to continue doing my own sets...Just wanted to ask what do you clean up any access gel w before curing? Any tips? Thanks so much for sharing this video and God Bless you ❤
What kinda brush did you use??? I want to start doing poly gel nails but I no nothing about it! I really don’t know what I have to buy for doing this type of nails! Please help me out someone😬❤️
So can you reuse the nail tip? Also when your nails starts to grow out, do you have to take the nails off and start new or can you just fill in the gap with ePolygel?
That’s weird to attempt to keep them on, though… if you’ve ever used polygel, the nail form doesn’t stay attached… I feel like the same would happen with any plastic form used🤷🏾♀️ …interesting
Hello I'm new here..I'm so happy to find someone that does short elegant nails on tutorials.Q: Do you if the full cover nails your using are wide bed nails? I have so much trouble in finding wide bed full covered nails.Thank you
I think you could go more into depth when explaining… am I filing the plastic nail on top completely off? or just shaping? can we use any top coat? how long will the set last?
I believe she doesn't take them off because when she's filling she mentions that she files the round edges of the nail covers because she likes the crisp square look.
What do u do to your nails to prep for the poly? I watch videos of people using dehydrator and then using some kind of base and curing THEN doing the poly? Just curious if that’s necessary and do you notice after your poly gel comes off are ur nails damaged? Bendy? Thanks :) xoxo.
Did you pre-cut your forms into a short square shape to save time? So you always know how to shape them each time? And also, did you apply any primer or anything to help the poly gel stick longer? Did you dehydrate your nail bed at all? Just asking because Stuff pops off of my nails so easily!
Okay genuine question, because I don’t know, do you take the clear plastic nail off after you cure the gel ? Or do you keep it on there and then file with it on?
Your nails are beautiful! I am having a hard time finding beetles 94 poly gel though. And as far as the lamps, LED does not affect the skin, thank god because I’ve been using them for over 15 years on myself and in my salon. My hands actually haven’t aged at all. 😊
LEDs do not but UVs do and many lights sold are UV/LED combinations. Regardless, if a person feels better using gloves or sunscreen go for it. But yes LEDs have not been found to damage skin. Just make sure ur lamp is not LED/UV combo.
I spent the whole weekend trying to do this with Modelones, it was a complete failure. It's not as easy as it looks. I gave up after having to remove them twice. I'll try again with another brand. Good luck all!
hey babes!! these are actual “nails” not forms you can use actual nails and not pop them off! or you can use the dual forms and they pop off after you cure ❤️
I always thought you were supposed to take off the nail cover after curing because it was supposed to just keep the shape but you keep yours on as a press on nail....interesting.... I am going to try that today!!
Did you leave the nail tips on? Im so cinfused i just started doing polygel and i remove the form nails because well these u have to and mine break every time even if i make them short and acrylic takes to long thats why i bought all the stuff id need for polygel nails. Can you pls let me know or someone let me know what im doing wrong as to why they won't stay on and break off after a day or two. I do my press on from temu i do with the gel glue its like builder glue and do my own gel polish and designs they stay on for several weeks but id love to be able to do polygel and make it look this easy becayse its for me its not.
Hi Alexandra, love your video. I just received my first polygel nail kit, what solution do you use with your nail brush? Alcohol? what type of solutions is it that I need. Thanks Lisa
She says it's 70% alcohol. And u can use anything 70% or higher. I don't see a difference using different percentages, so just use what u have access to a long as it's at least 70%.
@@AngelicMom17 70% is the best to use.. I used 90% once, and it makes the consistency too watery.. so 70% is the perfect one to use, it manipulates the poly gel but doesn't have that "melted" feel to the consistency.
i usually do gel x nails but I been wanting to try poly gel how long do these last? How do you prep your natural nails before apply poly gel and do you soak off poly gel or have to remove with it a nail drill?? 😍😍.
