Genius using your cuticle nail pusher to press it in the dual form. I’ve done to sets and struggled with getting the right amount of gel in there. Can’t wait to try your method of application. Thank you
I have been doing my nails with acrylic for years with the dual forms, I love it that way. I am excited to get my polygel product so I can ditch the acrylic :) Great tutorial. I have that cuticle pusher also and can see how it will be more than useful now. Thanks.
peaznat it's just harmony dehydrator and acid free primer - I just use the harmony brand because it came w my school kit. I've seen people use their foundation soak off base as well so removal is easier - the product is really flexible but I like to stick w same brands for stuff. (Superstitious I guess 😜) . I don't see why you couldn't mix it up- if you have a primer that you know works well w your clients - go for it.
Squirrel Grrrl I hope I didn't offend you, I had no ill intent. Next time just try to hold the camera still instead of following every movement and just zoom in and out. I look forward to more videos!
Charmaine Gibson-Callender I use a JD700 JSDAPower file 30k rpm. I actually got it on sale off amazon during their prime promo so it was 50%off and free shipping. I think I paid $75. It's fine for what I do - I'm not very active as a nail tech (yet). My bits are from enailcouture.ca I like their pink carrot and barrel bits for removing product and the moon bit for smooth cuticles. If you'd like to see more of my nails I'm on fb as Righthandmani page. Thanks for watching!
I was successful at mixing a little bit of polish to give poly gel A little tint ,just got my poly gel yesterday and it was amazing playing with it .thanks for the video
I just received my dual forms and I happened to get the same one as you. I used to use nail tips but the last time I sculpt my nails but they would break off. I thought I didn't build the apex well enough so I redid my nails but still had a lot of breaks. Did you experience this when using dual forms?
brenda janzen if your Apex is too thin you’ll get breaks. Sometimes when you press to nail you can squish down too much. When that happens I go back and add more to apex - it’s like doing a fill.
Carrie Macgregor Denisejohn65 has a great tutorial on using forms to make tips and then backfilling so the cuticle doesn’t flood. I used to get lifting from too much slip solution diluting the product. If it touches the cuticle you’ll always get lifting. You’ll need to file it out.
Kari Coleman - it works really well with forms. I also like that I don't have to fiddle with slip solution and worry about using too much and getting lifting. This way you can scrape it off the cuticle area and only use slip on underside where it isn't as fiddley.
321 andme I don’t really get lifting w this product then I use dualform unless it’s oozed up and touching the cuticle. I think it’s the slip solution diluting around cuticle that causes lifting and I don’t have to use slip when I use the forms. Just follow prep steps they teach us in school and it’ll stick! If anything - it’s a pitb to get off!
Tereza Malley they seem to be as good - definitely go back and add another layer for apex. - I didn't show that part just the tip part but I like to use this method for my non dom hand and haven't had any issues so far. I started doing my nails w these forms when I ran out of my size tips. I really like the shape they make. I'll try and make another full set vid one of these days :).
Marisina Rangel hi- you can either add more product to the form - press and cure then file and shape - or treat it like a backfill and add a bit at top and blend down- that's what I usually do.
I have a question for you, when I’m doing the polygel with the form on my own nails after it is cured and after a few minutes it comes right off what do you suggest I should use
Allie Hunt it's possible you're not curing long enough - I'd try removing form and curing again to make sure the light penetrates- also flip hand over and cure the underside. Make sure to follow their prep instructions. Keep it thin to begin. Denisejohn65 has a great tutorial for using forms w gel.
Vanessa Nunez no- unless there's nail damage - you can feel heat where the slip solution thins product around cuticle. Heat can happen if product is too thick w any gel.
Em O'Neill okay because my gel polish burns like hell. I guess I'll do the bulk of the nail with the form off the nail and a final thin layer to attach it.
ALEDMO1362 I usually fill every 10 days - it lasts as long as acrylics or gels for me. I'm not rough on my nails though - I get bored and change color often.

Tracy McPherson yeah- it’s good stuff. Total game changer in my book. I love working with it. Have fun! Thanks for watching 💅🤓
Great tip for filling the form with product 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Such a great idea to use the pusher to press it in the forms!!! Regards from Gemany🌸
Thank youuuuu! I had made it too big and had a blobby underside! SO I was putting too much product. Live saver !
Em, tottaly agree it is pretty.😍
Nice! I don't know why but I am allergic to all gel except Poly Gel. Wonder why? Any thoughts on that ladies?
Natalie Boldt look for acid free products!
Thanks Mizz Eiff i will give it a shot!
No because its just gel mixed with acrylic power in the right ratio
great video !! thank you
Do you have to use those 2 liquids you used first? What is the prep for the nail?
peaznat it's just harmony dehydrator and acid free primer - I just use the harmony brand because it came w my school kit. I've seen people use their foundation soak off base as well so removal is easier - the product is really flexible but I like to stick w same brands for stuff. (Superstitious I guess 😜) .

Great video maybe next time use a camera tripod. Too much movement
Squirrel Grrrl I hope I didn't offend you, I had no ill intent. Next time just try to hold the camera still instead of following every movement and just zoom in and out. I look forward to more videos!
What type of electronic nail file do you use? I am looking to purchase one

I would’ve like to see you add the second layer
Michelle Gallas lol me too! My daughter was soooooo done holding camera for me! Next time I will- promise!
I just received my dual forms and I happened to get the same one as you. I used to use nail tips but the last time I sculpt my nails but they would break off.

Em O'Neill thank you!
Helpful explanation. Thanks.
When you say you do another layer, do you brush it on or use the form again?
Carly Nicholas for these I brush it on. It’s such a tiny amount.
How long did you cure it? And do you have a uv or a led lamp??? Love the vid by the way❤️
Jet Korving I use a uv/led hybrid from amazon - cure 1 min each side
Do you ever have problems w lifting cause you cant control the product near cuticle
Carrie Macgregor Denisejohn65 has a great tutorial on using forms to make tips and then backfilling so the cuticle doesn’t flood. I used to get lifting from too much slip solution diluting the product. If it touches the cuticle you’ll always get lifting. You’ll need to file it out.
Carrie Macgregor also- flash curing top helps then scrape off excess and pull down product if it’s squishing out under the nail.
Em O'Neill thats a great idea thanks
Looks like polygel was custom made for dual forms, as in a bit easier to control the product. ❤️
Kari Coleman - it works really well with forms. I also like that I don't have to fiddle with slip solution and worry about using too much and getting lifting. This way you can scrape it off the cuticle area and only use slip on underside where it isn't as fiddley.
About how long does a set last before any lifting occurs?
321 andme I don’t really get lifting w this product then I use dualform unless it’s oozed up and touching the cuticle. I think it’s the slip solution diluting around cuticle that causes lifting and I don’t have to use slip when I use the forms. Just follow prep steps they teach us in school and it’ll stick!

Do they come of faster than gel or acrylic using the duel forms? I’ve found that when using the duel forms with acrylic they pop of

How do you add another layer after been cured?
Marisina Rangel hi- you can either add more product to the form - press and cure then file and shape - or treat it like a backfill and add a bit at top and blend down- that's what I usually do.
Can you please link where you got your led lamp?

Are you taking the shine off the natural nail? I forgot to do this once on one of my hands and it came clean off lol
i did not, thank you
I've been asking this question forever with no answer.. does this product get hot under the lamp?
Vanessa Nunez no- unless there's nail damage - you can feel heat where the slip solution thins product around cuticle. Heat can happen if product is too thick w any gel.
Em O'Neill okay because my gel polish burns like hell. I guess I'll do the bulk of the nail with the form off the nail and a final thin layer to attach it.
What type of efile are you using?
Codi Potts I use a JADA power drill jd700 I found on Amazon 30k rpm a.co/aFsR7X6
Where did you buy your nail drill,?
a.co/aFsR7X6
How long do these last ?
ALEDMO1362 I usually fill every 10 days - it lasts as long as acrylics or gels for me. I'm not rough on my nails though - I get bored and change color often.
Can I use this method with arylic powder and liquid instead of gel?
Mahogany Coy yes - they were invented for acrylics
Em O'Neill Awesome!!! Thank you
New sub here! Great tutorial!
Great video
