I've done 2 sets with this kit and I haven't quite gotten them right. I was excited to see you did a review and demo! Now I realize I've been using too much gel and making them too thick. Yours look gorgeous and natural!
@@gabriellepinard3123 she used a light. She just didn't show it...she said she cured and removed the forms. Not sure why she didn't show it...thats a big step.
I watched a lot (like A LOT) of polygel videos on youtube and you're the first I see mentioning the brush cleaning process. That's really important, thank you for that! Awesome video btw
I have been watching all sorts of videos on polygel application and I have to say yours is definitely the best! Not entirely sure what some people are doing in their videos, and whenever someone overclips their cuticle and actually cuts the eponychium as well it makes me cringe. Loved your video and you explained what you were doing and why so well. Can't wait to get my polygel kit now!
Oh my gosh I’ve been doing the wrong thing and I was wondering why they were popping off it was because I didn’t apply the basecoat I’m so mad at myself, thank you so much for posting this
Just bought the same kit! I’m excited! 😆💕 Edit: I got it...and I love it!! I have no experience with anything that has to do with polygel or acrylic! The first day I only did my left hand, it’s took 4+ hours no lie! The next day I did my right and it came out wayyyy betterrr then my left hand! It will get sticky everywhere but you’ll get use to it and get cleaner and better with time, but do not rush!!! My favorite colors: dark pink and natural pink ;D
I did my first set today and they look decent! Not nearly as hard as I thought but I think a handheld UV or LED light would be better than the ones you stick your hand in to. I found it hard to get the forms to fit in my lamp without them shifting or popping up. The color is just a bit uneven and there’s some bubbles here and there but nothing you’d notice unless you were right up on them. If you’re scared to try this like I was, don’t be! They’re really easy once you get the technique down (:
I just bought this set and I came looking for a video just to make sure I don't mess them up. You did such a good job on your nails and the video! Very helpful!
I have this kit and I had a terrible time trying to apply the dual forms without making a mess. I am practising and getting there. It's a good product though. You did a lovely job!
I had a terrible time too. I made such a mess and gel sticking all over the place. I'm going to keep practicing to so I don't have to spend so much money at the salon. Great product once you learn how to do it
I love how natural you made your nails look like with the polygel. Thanks for reviewing this product. I have purchased the Makartt set and will be rewinding this video several times as I try it out this weekend. ❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
yay! I'm so glad you posted a review on this! your videos are super helpful & full of great info especially now that I'm trying to decide between a polygel and dip powder nail kit!
Use a 180 grit file and buff off top coat gloss. Use 100% polish remover to soak 10 min Use a wooden cuticle stick to push off polygel that is gooey. Repeat if needed until all off. Wash hands & put cuticle oil on.
Andi’s Nails, buff top of nails to allow penetration of product, then use *100% acetone* on cotton balls or cotton pads places on top of the nail, then with the saturated cotton sitting on your nail you wrap the tip of your finger with either aluminum foil or nail polish clips to soak the nails in the 100% acetone soaked on the cotton. Regular nail polish remover (even 100% nail polish remover whatever that means) will NOT work. It has to say 100% acetone. That will work. It will not take 5 min. It will take a little longer. Be patient. It will come off eventually. You may have to rehydrate your cotton ball with acetone if it dries out.
I have this kit, The dual forms do not work for me. Instead I bought the sticky forms to go under my nails while I put the polygel on top and that made doing my nails 100% easier
@@missestomlinson99 basically dual forms are what you see in the video. You put the product in, press it on your nails, cure it, and then pop them off. Sticky forms or paper forms are what is normally used for acrylic and builder gel. You have to peel the forms off the paper like a sticker, and there’s a hole where you put the paper forms under the nail, the stick the ends together kinda forming a cone like shape, then you use the produce to build the nail extension on top of your natural nail and pale form to extend it, cure it, and then peel the paper forms off. I hope that makes sense!☺️
I have the same kit. I've tried the dual forms following the directions but I love the polygel colors and the brush is my favorite. Perfect length! Thanks for sharing your video. Maybe I'll give them another try again.
@@jadeklein5170 it was stickier than I expected 😅. But do NOT put too much slip solution or alcohol otherwise it wouldn’t stay on your nails, just get the brush damp and not sopping wet. Also I had to file the sides of the dual forms for some of my fingers because they were too big. But over all I have a good experience so far. Maybe I’ll try other brands but I’m happy!
The c curve is actually the curve of the nail when you look at the tip of depending on the c curve, the nail can look wide or narrow. The curve your refer to in this video is more of the curve of the whole nail being at a downward shape. 😁
So I’m Super late lol. But I love these! Definitely wanna try. How long do these last? Are they as “durable” as acrylic? What condition do they leave your natural nails in after removal? So many questions😩🤣.
Love this video! You did such an incredible job at making them look natural! Quick question for anyone willing to answer. If I wanted to apply a color on top of the poly gel should I do that before or after the top coat?
I love how natural they look!! Want to buy this kit as well, but I’m from the Netherlands and I can only find them on Aliexpress. Does anyone know if this is the same kit or if this one is fake?
hi! it is basically the same process as removing with a drill, just using a hand file instead. it will also most likely take longer. but, i can do a video like that in the future!
How long do they last? I’ve used modelones polygel before and they broke easily, I use hard gel now and they almost never break or anything like that. I want to try poly gel again but I want it to hold💞
sorry to hear you thought it was sticky! personally i thought it worked pretty well. maybe you used too much slip. either way, you’re right, it does take practice!
i don’t have a video on how to fill polygel, however it can be done. normally i don’t keep them on long enough to need a fill, but if you were to do one it isn’t too hard. i would recommend looking up another video on youtube to see how :)
hi! i find dual forms do tend to move around. you might have added too much gel or too much slip solution to the dual form causing it to be more slippery. but, i find they also just move around in general so i have to fix it quite a bit. but with practice, you’ll get used to it :)
Wait so when in the process do you add slip solution to the duel forms? I thought they were ready for the polygel the second you picked the right size?
hello Wendy nope! you do not need to add slip solution to the dual form itself, but you want to use it with the polygel to avoid it sticking to the brush.
I love them! The natural, clean cut look. Plus it’s fun doing them!! I have the set but never use it, because when I did, and added length to my natural nails (short lol) the tip would always break off. Not as sturdy as acrylic? Any suggestions?
rle no worries! you could always glue on a nail tip and then apply the polygel over that. it would definitely add extra strength. otherwise make sure the product near the tip is thicker so it doesn’t break as easily if you don’t apply a nail tip before :)
Is there a specific rubbing alcohol you use? When I’m on like nail 4 the gel/alcohol mixes wrong and it doesn’t let me manipulate it or shape it after that
i either use my asp antibacterial spray or my yayoge slip solution. to stop that from happening, i would try to cut back on the amount of alcohol you are using.
When you do your nails which ever kind you do. Do you wear a mask like at the nail salon?. I recently started doing dip but i havent used a mask. and the last 2 times ive gotten sick im sure it must be all the dust from filing and not wearing mask?.
hi! i actually don’t wear a mask, i just do them in a well ventilated area. if you are getting sick, i would highly recommend wearing a mask because that might be causing it.
I've been wanting to try these the problem is my nails are so tiny and small I am worried the forms won't fit my nails properly. Is there nail forms that are extra small? Love how you're turned out. I think it would be great to have these to grow my nails out? Thanks for sharing!
