modelones Poly Gel Set 6 Colors Jelly Gel Milky White Sheer Pink Nude Translucent Nail Extension Kit DIY Art for Women

Love the longevity, thickness easy to apply and shape. love all the natural color and it last 21 days and longer if you take care of them.

I used polygel before a few years ago when I first decided to start the DIY nail journey and I didn’t like them too much since I couldn’t figure out a smooth application. They always popped off within days. This time around after some trial and error, it came out pretty nice!The gel is sticky and thick but super easy to maneuver with slip solution or acetone. I didn’t use any tip extensions but created length with the gel then painted over them. Trying to get the ends to be thick and sturdy on the first application is a bit confusing but hopefully I’ll figure it out eventually. I had to keep going back to add more gel and curing all over again. The gel containers are super small and completely fit in the palm of my hand but a little goes a long way. For the price, this is a good bunch. Can’t speak for longevity yet but hopefully my nail prep was good enough to last for at least 2 weeks minimum.Update: I actually got a solid 2 weeks out of these before only one nail broke while I was doing dishes! The others still holding strong so I’m very much satisfied since it did what it needed to do. Perfecting my craft now!

I am getting into doing my own nails to save them from breaking and chipping and a friend told me to try poly gel and this is easy once you figure out how to do it. These colors are so nice a vibrant. I really like the colors.

the green is not the color i was expecting but will do. good brand

Easy to use, durable, and long lasting. Pretty colors.

I've been using this product approximately 2 years now and I've noticed the consistency is not as thick as before. When I bathe, the nails get soft and they break very easily then I have to repair the nails that broke. So, I'm using more product and that's costing me more money. I think I will look into using another brand or a nail builder.

I never write reviews but I had to with this product. I was super excited to try out these Christmas colors and had so many ideas on how I was going mix and match the colors. I am, however, pretty disappointed with how the colors turned out. The green in particular is VERYsee through and definitely not the same green tone that is shown in the picture. That was the color I was most looking forward to. The red is pretty accurate but still more see through than I think it should be.

I have been doing nails for a long time . Just started with poly gel about 3 years ago. I have used about every brand.( Be careful with builder gel. Just fyi. It’s much different than poly gel . Self leveling ( it will not stay put) . I use it for encapsulating) I ended up there when searching for poly gel as a beginner. Just thought I would put it out there.Ok. This poly gel is my favorite. Along with the beetles brand. But my main is modelones for sure. I always use a half tip then build the poly gel over just like acrylic. I use 75% or higher rubbing alcohol instead of the slip solution. I find it works better and doesn’t mix with the poly gel like the oil based slip solution does. Get yourself a good brush. I honestly have been using a concealer brush. I like the way it moves the poly gel. If you have naturally oily nail beds like I do and had a problem with them just falling off after a few hours or days follow these steps… mine stay on for 3 fill ins about 2 months or; until I take them off1: push back your cuticles ( so important) make them non existent2: buff out your nail beds ( 2 fingers at a time follow rest of steps and repeat for remaining fingers) the oil can build back up from the time it takes you to buff and dehydrate which will cause the gel to not adhere properly3 : DEHYDRATE your nail beds. Wipe all dust off with an alcohol soaked paper towel. DONT WASH YOUR HANDS then use a dehydrator for your nails. I use morovan nail dehydrator4: add an acid free nail primer I use morovan (not sponsored) I just found it works the best for my nail beds. Be very careful not to get ANY on your skin or cuticle area.5: top coat. This is so very important. I love modelones top coat but use whichever you like. CURE for 60 seconds. DONT WIPE off sticky top.6: apply uv glue to your tips ( score the tip before adding glue) cure under light for 60 seconds7: buff out tip to blend with your nail bed8: wipe off dust with rubbing alcohol on paper towel9: re -due steps 3,4 ( do not put dehydrator or primer on your plastic nail tip only on your nail bed) step 5 top coat over the entire nail and tip. Make sure you do not get ANY top coat on your skin or cuticle area. I leave a little gap to ensure this and avoid lifting. Do not wipe off sticky residue. Work on one nail at a time if your new10: squeeze the proper amount at the bottom of your nail and work your way up. When you get to your nail bed press the poly gel a little firmer to ensure no air pockets . You want it a little thicker right above the middle of your nail plate ( apex) to add strength to your nail bed and avoid them snapping off. (60 SEC CURE)The apex ( highest point of your nail plate ) should be thicker the loner your nails are. If you want “natural “ looking nails dont get them 5 in long. lol. Or they will just snap off the first time you put on your favorite pair of jeans. Whenever I do xxl nails they are thick. .You will figure out how much poly gel to use after practicing for a while. I added pics of my first sets and some newer ones. I do them every day so I have lots of practice. And I’m still learning.11: file . File down them bumps, smooth out your cuticle area, level your poly gel so the craters and bump mountains are gone. lol. ** poly gel is super soft right after curing. The longer it sits after curing the harder it gets. * wash hands with no soap after filing . Make sure your hands are dry then paint.I hope this helps someone lol I wish there was a review like this when I was starting out. And I get everything from Amazon . FYI. Oh and use cuticle oil after and lotion them hands because the alcohol can cause your skin to dry out if your not careful.
