Not bad for your first time..seriously. I’ve been licensed for 36 years & in my opinion you did good.The only thing you may need practice is in shaping & blending. That comes with experience in using a file and or drill. Pretty nails for your first time & your choice in doing the poly gel method. BTW the stuff you peeled from your skin was the dried film left from the poly gel.

Im amazed at how good this turned out to be. Im in a journey of growing my own nails stronger and have watched a ton of videos about things that can protect and possibly strengthen my own nail plate. Polygel is one of the products I want to try, and your vid greatly helped with what to expect and what to do for better results. Thanks a lot 🙏🏾

Thank you for the realistic review and thank you for the tip to use sun screen i never even thought of that! I use gel polish all the time!

In regards to you asking "what is this...?" So when you use the 'slip solution' to manipulate the polygel it kind of melts the gel into being almost watery. So when smoothing out with a wet brush you get your cuticle area wet with what you think is slip sol or alcohol but is actually thinned out polygel

I have really small nail beds too. Great job!! Thanks for sharing. You have beautiful skin tone!!

You did such an amazing 👏 job that I am absolutely going to purchase this today for myself as it is my birthday 🎂 and I've totally wanted gel nails! You are obviously very intelligent and thank you for watching so many other videos before attempting this! You obviously did a lot of homework! Your 💅 nails look gorgeous! Oh I also have short fingers. Congratulations and thanks for a perfect 👌 video 📹! 🌱 💗 💅 🌼 💅 💗 🌿

And I'll look forward to seeing more and seeing you then branch out into the arty(gems flowers shapes etc..)side as I reckon you have a penchant for false nail application. Well done 💅👌

I believe people soak them in acetone for about 5-10 min and they should easily peel off. I actually saw a video on youtube where this girl used floss to remove them lol. I tried doing that when my polygels were naturally peeling off on their own (by the 3-4 week mark). And it actually worked!

I've never worn makeup, styled hair, or done nails in my life. However, I am enjoying the idea of my small bitten nails actually looking feminine. Im a welder, so I'm usually working with my hands, but I can dream.

🤗 No Lamp- IF u fill dual forms with ACRYLIC! USE "Low Odor Monomer " to create acrylic bead to fill form. ❇Low Odor Monomor - is SLOW to harden- so gives more play time to fill the dual form & place on nail. Then wait to harden & pop off.🥂 Trick 2= Use regular monomor & fill all 10 dual forms ahead of time. Place small acrylic bead into dual form, spread to shape. Keeping it on thin side. Set aside, while u fill all 10. Prep Nails w *primer etc. Then add new Small bead to underside of filled dual form - only on area that will adhere to nail- place on nail- Remove dual form when dry & u got a perfect shiny acrylic nail 🥂

In my opinion, the best way to remove without hurting your natural nails, is to file them down. But it’s a lot to file down and a lot of work 😫

Can the gel be used without the forms? My nails are long already and i just want to keep them from splitting and breaking.

@AprilLaBelle

9 күн бұрын

Yes! It just takes a lot of practice in terms of placing it on, smoothing it out and figuring out the thickness of it. The forms are there to guide you through all of that. But it’s definitely doable without them. If you want to keep your nails from splitting and breaking, you have to carefully remove the polygel when it’s time by filing them down.
