I LOVE using polygel nails. I'm so done with glue-ons or press-ons and polygels saved me sooo much money from going to the salons. It's also such a rewarding feeling when you get the hang of using polygel and you form a nice set of nails🤩
I just got this kit yesterday for Christmas and I was so nervous about trying it… I can’t try it now because I’m pregnant but this video just completely eased some of that anxiety… thank you so much for the explanation I get really anxious when trying new things so again you definitely helped!🙏🏾❤️ I hope youre having a good holiday.. Fay❤️
When I do my poly gel I prefer to place it a little tiny bit out from my cutical and push it up a bit, for me this helps keep the area thinner so there's little if any little hump and helps limit the spillage if I do push a little too hard!
A tip if you have spillage after you push down the form on your nail, just clean it with the brush and the solution or you can use 70% rubbing alcohol before you cure it. It’ll be a lot easier than filing it off.
Question, maybe you can help me lol When I went to add polish to my polly gel nails after they cured it came right off and never dried. I even used a lamp. Help what polish do you use on this?
Yes! In fact, I did and I filmed a few nail art tutorials with them using regular polish and was able to safely remove the polish without messing up the gel!
I just got my poly gel nails today. Haven't tried yet.. watching videos before, so I hopefully won't mess it up too much. 😅 Your video was very helpful thank you..
Been doing polygel for close to 2 months. Still learning lots! 1 frequent issue i have is filing closer to the cuticle and the underside, i dont have an efile. Luckily i found that using nail forms work for the underside so as long as you cut and adjust them if your are using the dual form as well (doesn't apply for free hand application) now all i really need to work on is tricks on how to thin down the nails at the cuticle area in the dual form in order to have the seemless cuticle area! But I've had fun with the process of learning!
I just bought a polygel kit off Amazon and it was so easy. But I will say it takes practice. You gotta have the uv lamp and patience. I either make my nails too thick or too thin at the moment but I think it's like anything else, it'll get better with practice. But I became disabled and it just got harder and harder to get to the salon.
Donna Lynn I’m so sorry about that dear! I just started using E Nail Couture’s 123 Go nail press on system and it’s really easy since the shape is already there!
I just ordered my kit a few days ago & can't wait to use it! I haven't seen my real nails in over a year & do not like it. I love having nails & with all the salons closed I had to do something & the polygel seemed to be the easiest. So I'm excited to get mine. I'm thinking about ordering some glitter polygel. Gonna do some research before I do, it's so pretty & I'm a glitter girl lol! Thanks for your video. I now know I've made a great discussion on getting my kit
Sherlyn Ramirez oh really? I think I’m going to try nail forms next. My biggest struggle with the dual forms was getting the underside smooth. Nail forms probably don’t have that problem at all, huh?
@@JauntyJuli you could use a regular form at the same time if you don't want that problem. I was thinking of getting those metal reusable forms just for the underside since they seem less fiddly for DIY.
Lovely! I do my nail extensions myself and I like to use hybrid gel when doing my dominant hand! Also when I want super quick nail extensions I use hybrid gel with the dual forms. :) Ps. "Polygel" is a product name from the brand Gelish, this product is usually known as "hybrid gel" or "acrygel" since it's the mix between acrylic and gel. :)
I ordered a polly gell kit but not this brand. Mine is beetles brand. I love it!! Make sure you don't go close to the side walls and if it comes out the sides onto your skin, just clean it with the brush and don't flood the crucials. Keep watching more videos on how to do this, it's easy to use. I did it once and like it better than doing my acrylic nails. I like the glitter in this kit. I may try that.
Thank you for the video. I tried them , but did not come out correctly on the first try. Your video explained it so well and showed me what my mistakes were. Thanks. 😆
I recently ordered a polygel kit from modelones and it did not come with base coat and top coat. Am I able to use the regular base and top coats from my gel polish kits?
I have a kit form this brand but they say to cure both side 30 seconds to 60 seconds. But the lamp that came with 20 watts. I saw that poly gel needs higher wattage and long to cutmre. Can you please help me with some advice?
I definitely want to try these! If you want to paint them with gel polish, what are the steps? Like do you do a top coat over the polyglot and then paint? Thanks for the great tutorial!
about to buy this kit because of you - do I need an electric file? I'll buy if necessary but its an extra twenty bucks on amazon. If yes, which one do you recommend?
sophia likes pasta an efile definitely isn’t necessary but it will absolutely make your life easier, especially come removal time. I use the Markatt JD700 but there are lots of cheaper great options on amazon.
I’ve been doing polygel since they came out and been doing my own nails for many years there’s a lot of issues with polygel. First you never really know how much to use, secondly air bubbles galore maybe I’m not cleaning my nails properly before hand but I have a few that completely pop off 🤔idk what I’m doing wrong
Can you recommend a place where I can get XL polygel forms? I bought a kit with a ton of forms in it but the largest one doesn't fit my thumb! I don't think my nails are gigantic at all but I've been looking on line all day and can't seem to find anything that says big or XL. My thumb looks wonky as all get out.
So if i understand it correctly. When the tip with polygel lifts, than there are 2 problems? 1. to many slip solution or to small tip? How long you had this set of polygel nails before they broke or that they were no longer beautiful?
Aesthetic Lyrics well it depends Some problems might be: 1- you need to press so it could stick(and file your nails before) 2- are you using the uv light to cure the nails, it is very important 3-you added to much liquid solution whether it’s alcohol or the liquid that comes in the box Hope these tips were helpful;)
Also make sure to dehydrate the nails so the moisture doesn’t loosen up the nails and make them lift, don’t wash your hands before doing this, and don’t forget to cure the base coat for 30 seconds before applying the polygel, clean the dust after failing your nails
I have never been into fake tips or anything like that, but lately it has been kinda tempting 😅. I just would like to try a different nail shape because some designs just go better with like almond shape or stiletto.. I've had my square nails since I ever started doing nailart, but I did had the courage to change to almond on my dominant hand. The only problem of trying polygel or any nail extension is the removal process. I have already removed a complete gel manicure and I swear it messes up with my patience 🤣
NailsAndTowel I literally feel the exact same way. I’ve been square FOREVER and am scared to commit to any other shape 😂 Removal process is pretty timely for sure. I actually tried doing these again with a peel off base coat under and that definitely helped. But it of course compromises the longevity.
I *LOVE* my polygel! I would add to your tips/tricks though that if you don't have an e-file, use glue-on nail tips and form the polygel over that instead of using the dual forms. That way they're not lumpy and thick underneath where you can't reach them with a hand file.
I've done polygel and I can never tell how much to use. I try a small bead and they broke. Tried a pea size and also broke. I want to try again but I'm after of another disaster.
I bought one of Modelones kits about 6 months ago. I have tried using it numerous times and I have failed every single time. I follow the instructions step by step doing my nails exactly as instructed only to have the entire tip break away from the rest of the nail. Every single nail, every single time. It is very frustrating to say the least. Anyone have any idea as to what I am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! 😊
Yes you can! Just prep nail then apply a small bead of polygel enough to smooth out and cover your nail from cuticle to free edge. You don't paint it like nail polish but you pat and smooth (using alcohol for slip) into place like one would use acrylic. Then shape, buff and top coat.
I BARELY have any nails whatsoever because I bite them so I tried doing this and they kept popping right off so easily. Literally when I went into the shower that same day they ALL came off. Watching this video and learning more about the product, do you think it could be because I use 99.9% rubbing alcohol?
I've heard to try skipping the base coat, and using dehydrator and primer instead. However, make sure that you are buffing your nails beforehand, and wiping them with dehydrator or alcohol. I've had the same issue, and doing the alcohol to dehydrate and a very thin basecoat made a small difference. Haven't tried skipping base and using the dehydrator and primer yet. But I just got the modelones pair for that, so i will definitely be trying it out.
I use one I got at Walmart for about $20. The brand name is Sensationail I think. It came with top coat & base coat, a colored gel polish, lint-free wipes, alcohol, abs a few other things I've forgotten by now lol. You can find pretty cheap lamps on Amazon too
I also filmed the removal process! You guys wanna see it?
JauntyJuli yessssss 💅🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
JauntyJuli yes please :)
100%!
Yes!!
Of course!😍

Why can't you use it when your pregnant?

They came out amazing for ur first time. I’m seriously thinking about getting this as we r in lockdown and have to find away to do our own nails
Family Guy same!!!
I ordered my 2 weeks ago and it still isn’t here. It came from China and it took a week for them to send
I like the fact that you videoed doing your non-dominant hand. You’re the only person that I’ve seen so this. Great video by the way. Many thanks.
A tip if you have spillage after you push down the form on your nail, just clean it with the brush and the solution or you can use 70% rubbing alcohol before you cure it. It’ll be a lot easier than filing it off.
Question, maybe you can help me lol
When I went to add polish to my polly gel nails after they cured it came right off and never dried. I even used a lamp. Help what polish do you use on this?
@@angie-kbmmake sure you file the shine from the poly gel before polish just like a natural nail 😊
I just received my kit on Saturday. Looking forward to using them. Rookie here.
I just bought some and it will be here next week. Thank you for this video. You are a lifesaver
Shannon Harris that’s awesome! Let me know how it goes for you!
I have the same kit and love it!! It really does take some practice to get it right. Your nails looked great 💅🏻
Angela Drozd I just ordered it this am, do you feel everything needed is included in the kit?
Dulce Serrato no it doesn’t include primer I think and that’s very important if you want long lasting nails
I have just started using poly gel and I love it
Could you treat these like your natural nails? Like could you apply/remove regular nail polish multiple times without it wearing down the gel?
Yes! In fact, I did and I filmed a few nail art tutorials with them using regular polish and was able to safely remove the polish without messing up the gel!
JauntyJuli okay, thank you so much! I think I will definitely buy this kit now knowing that 😊
So do you apply the top coat before or after regular polish?
Helen Castillo you’ll probably wanna topcoat the cured gel and then polish with your color so you don’t stain the polygel nail
I just got my poly gel nails today. Haven't tried yet.. watching videos before, so I hopefully won't mess it up too much. 😅

@@donnalynn2 what polygel kit did you use please .
Me too it's my first time I've ever had my nails done. It takes practice!

I Must say your natural nails are fabulous
This helps me out alot! Thanks for the video. 😊
I have bought the gershion polygel and love it 😍 ❤️💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻 I will say nail forms are easier than dual forms

I used poly gel got into right mess lol but I want to keep trying as I want to get into nails for a hobby so these videos sure help me thank you 🙏 xxx
Really nice but your natural nails are much more beautiful ! I am trying to repair my nails and your channel is helping me lot !
Thank u so much 🙏🏻✨
One of the best movies ever!!!
Your hands and nails are so pretty
Pika Chu I know right there so niceee
There so pretty whenever I paint my nails there so hard to paint without any nail polish on my skin and Jaunty Juli's nails look so easy to paint
Your profile pic fits that comment so well lol
Im sold! Im getting that rt now!!!
Can you paint nail polish over the polygel or should you to it over the top coat to change colors add effects?
I ordered a polly gell kit but not this brand. Mine is beetles brand. I love it!!

Question Do I ABSOLUTELY NEED the slip solution and base coat?
You can see your fingernails right through it do you have to polish them after
They looked gorgeous 😍
My friend got me some colors but not the slip solution. Can I still make it work?
Thank you for the video. I tried them , but did not come out correctly on the first try. Your video explained it so well and showed me what my mistakes were. Thanks. 😆
What recommendation do you all have as far as a UV lamp.
I recently ordered a polygel kit from modelones and it did not come with base coat and top coat. Am I able to use the regular base and top coats from my gel polish kits?
I have the poly gel and really like it but I always seem to have thickness under the tip so I must be doing something wrong.
I wish I had nails like you. Your nails are beautiful.Also I have one ordered and it’s April now and it is supposed to come in June
Hello jaunty.you got yaself a nother subbie💕💕☺☺☺💕💕☺☺

I was actually distracted by how healthy and nicely shaped her natural nails are lol.
Excellent video 👍
I bought the pink makartt polygel kit and my nails came out beautifully! Polygel is so worth it and it’s definitely beginner friendly 😍
How long does it last
I wanna know to pleas
What shade did u used?
Can I use them as tips?
Is it cheaper on amazon or on the actual website
Cool kit u have where u buy it at
Did their pricing on Amazon go up?
Gray Job!!💕👏🏽💅🏽
What u use for slip solution..
The name of the brand: ModelOnes
my brain: Mod El' Ones
o.o
My brain went "moe-del-owe-nays" 🙄😅
“Mode-lowes”
Mode-el-owns
Do you cure the base layer too?
Do you get bubles under the nail?
If you press it on your nail well, then you probably won’t
about to buy this kit because of you - do I need an electric file? I'll buy if necessary but its an extra twenty bucks on amazon. If yes, which one do you recommend?
sophia likes pasta an efile definitely isn’t necessary but it will absolutely make your life easier, especially come removal time. I use the Markatt JD700 but there are lots of cheaper great options on amazon.
I had the hardest time with this. I ran into every problem imaginable. I will try again later
Thank you so much

Same, i made the apex thicker and that helped me at least
Thats my problem with polygel it always has so many bubles
Is there a way to dry it without a UV Lamp?
Pretty hands, fingers and nails

How can I get this??
How long did you cure everything for?
60-90 secs
Mine was not spreading well and kept ending up super thing under the nail

Do you need an LED light for this?
How long did they last you?
I *LOVE* my polygel! I would add to your tips/tricks though that if you don't have an e-file, use glue-on nail tips and form the polygel over that instead of using the dual forms. That way they're not lumpy and thick underneath where you can't reach them with a hand file.
KimShea22 That’s a great tip! I’m going to try that next time!
@@JauntyJuli hopefully we might even get a video out if it!
Did you remove the glue on tips afterwards?
And how to remove it 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Want to try this!
I think that it's good that the kit has slip solution
I did my toe nails and love it
😟😞 I bought this kit and I didn't get the flat dual forms.
Can you do a uv gel manicure on top of this?
I've done polygel and I can never tell how much to use. I try a small bead and they broke. Tried a pea size and also broke. I want to try again but I'm after of another disaster.
I have the same issue I see the girls do long nail looks but mine just break off
I’m Jealous! Definitely going to try this kit!
Can you put gel polish over poly gel?
Yes, your suppose to put a gel top coat on.
Angelica C. Pickles thank you :))

Where do you purchase that beautiful hands ?
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I apply them and then a day later they just pop right off my nail
Yessss
Question can I use it over my natural nails to coat it their pretty long
Yes you can! Just prep nail then apply a small bead of polygel enough to smooth out and cover your nail from cuticle to free edge. You don't paint it like nail polish but you pat and smooth (using alcohol for slip) into place like one would use acrylic. Then shape, buff and top coat.
I just put mine on. And not even 10 mons later I have 2 that has come off lol.
I have tried and tried with these and with in an hour of doing them they pop or peel off....grrrrr

maybe would have put another coat of the gel
I’ve been experimenting with poly gel I still haven’t perfected it yet
Has it gotten easier?
RheRheSmily i prefer to do it without the forms, I just use nail tips. The forms don’t fit well on some of my nails
Do they feel secure on your nails, meaning can you do chores and not be scared they'll come off or sutn?
Where is the polygel removal video? Thx
Hmm...PolyGel is magical.
There are no end cards
What's a good light curer??
I was thinking of an LED one but don't know which ones are good that won't break my bank
I use one I got at Walmart for about $20. The brand name is Sensationail I think. It came with top coat & base coat, a colored gel polish, lint-free wipes, alcohol, abs a few other things I've forgotten by now lol. You can find pretty cheap lamps on Amazon too
Didn’t you do polygel nails before? So this means that the video isn’t the first time you did polygel nails
