Having a paper form and using the dual form over it also helps.

@@presentpalace5722 - here is a little more detail. You know those paper foil things they wrap around your finger and under your fingernail to provide support to build length on your nail with an acrylic or gel product? They are called Nail Forms. The idea is this: When your nails are clean and prepped, file your natural nail length down to a short length, just enough to be able to fit and grab a paper Nail Form under the curve of your natural fingernail. Then select a clear plastic curved Dual Form that matches correctly your own fingernail size and cuticle shape. If it is a little off, file or trim it to be exact. Put a dab of Polygel on the underside of the plastic clear Dual Form and spread it evenly with your brush. Add more as needed. When smoothed to the length and thickness you desire, gently press the clear Dual Form on to the top of your fingernail that already has the paper foil Nail Form on it. Clean away any excess that squeezes out. Cure under the lamp. After cured, remove the paper form from underneath the nail and turn your finger over and cure the underside separately. Remove top form. This should result in a perfectly smooth and properly shaped bottom nail and also a smooth top nail after curing. No under nail drilling required. This uses the best combination of tools to save time and give a superior result with minimal filing.

I wasn't able to use both together because my dual forms curve too much to make contact with the paper form. Instead, I discovered last night that I can use a paper form to create a layer of polygel. Then I cure it, remove the paper form, and use the dual form to add another thin layer on top. It worked great!

Been doing my nails like this for awhile as I have tremors in one hand and this was the only way to have a clean beautiful finish lol. Its exciting when you discover something new, especially when it works!! Love this channel!!

You remove the tip after applying the Polygel and curing? How do you get the tip to stay put if you don't glue it to the nail before applying polygel?

This video literally changed my life. Until I followed this video, my acrylics were always hot garbage, despite having been doing them for a decade. Now I can bust out a salon worthy set in the time it takes to watch an episode of Claws. You’re my hero!!! 🖤🖤🖤

Great minds think alike, I love was really struggling with the underside of the poly gel and was never happy with the results. I completed a full set last week and was over the moon with the result and saved a lot of time. Looking forward to lots more new ideas. You are my inspiration, thank you 🙏 x

Thats a brilliant idea because i hate the fact that the normal way always looks too high and bulky which natural nails don't have and this looks like a natural nail

That is awesome! I'm so gonna try this on my nails 4 sure! Thanks Kristy!

Put your tip on, prep the nail and add polygel (without duel form) just like you would acrylic. 👍🏻 I do mine with that application. Edit: If you wipe the polygel after curing with alcohol it will get rid of the sticky surface left after and it won't gunk up your file.

@primrosemartin1

Well, I tried but now I'm not sure. I noticed that within a day of wear, the polygel lifted off the nail tip because the plastic, just like the dual form, didn't stick to it after curing. This caused moisture to be caught between the polygel and the plastic tip where it separated once hardened. Your manicure may lift from the nailbed prematurely from that moisture between the polygel and the nail, even if you properly applied your form to the base. Perhaps by applying an added gel coating to the top, sides, and underneath you can encapsulate the tip and prevent this separation?
