    I just ordered poly gel for the first time. I don’t even paint my own nails so I’m watching videos to get as many tips as I can. Thanks for this great informative video. I just am having so much trouble at nail salons. Where I live they are just so busy. I’m talking several hours of waiting just to get your nails done. Poor nail techs must be exhausted with all this stimulus money! Thanks again!

      I’m in the same league - I don’t paint my nails, but I’m planning to do Poly gel! 😂. What was I thinking? I’m really curious as to how the gels worked out for someone in a similar situation. Were you able to use the products? Happy with the results?

      @@denagustafson6070 Hi! I’ve been doing my own polygel nails since this comment. I use polygel and I do use nail tips under it to help me with strength because I’m very hard in my nails at work. I really enjoy doing my own nails and that is what surprised me. Also, I’m getting better. My nails last 3 weeks until I need a fill in. Sometimes I just do a fresh set instead of a balance. People struggle with polygel sometimes because if you don’t prep the natural nail they won’t last. Mine last because I prep always. I struggle with shaping my nail but have improved. I use an efile. At first I was using too much polygel and had to file so much . As you gain experience you will find the right amounts to save you time and product. I am very happy with using polygel and doing my own nails and glad I started watching videos like the one above! I have saved so much money because when I would go to the salon a balance would cost me $30 but I always tipped $30. I would go every 2 to 3 weeks. I will say I have purchased a lot of gel polishes of Amazon in search for the perfect pink for my skin tone but it was worth it lol! I think polygel is super affordable and in the end am so happy I made this decision a year ago!

    Thank you for the tips and tricks on this nail method. I purchased a poly-gel beginner kit from Amazon about a week ago, and I have to agree with you on the mini UV light that comes along with the kit; it’s not as great as a full size UV light! Also, taking the time to prep and going over the details such as using a drill to buff and go over the cuticles is crucial if the end-goal is to make them look professional, and of course , long-lasting!
