Modelones Poly Nail Gel Kit 30ml 2PCS Clear Brown Colors with Slip Solution Extension Builder Enhancement Professional Starter Kit Nail Technician Manicure DIY

First thing I want to say is: this kit is 100% for beginners. However, it’s for beginners you are DIY inclined, and can problem solve easily. There is a learning curve for sure just look at my photos I did my first I did my thumb because it actually had a tear and that’s what I bought it for was to repair a pretty bad tear but then I thought I’m gonna have a little fun and I do extensions. So what I know about doing press, sans or gel strips is that you typically do your thumbs last, and you start your application on your dominant hand. That will just make sure that it’s easier to do your other hand with nails on. As far as any advice, I have is, I would get a drill even though I really improved my other hand there’s not like just tons of product in it. I still would like it a lot cleaner, and to get closer to my cuticle without scraping my skin off, but it’s not 100% necessary. I did get a drill just came today, so I’m gonna go ahead and fix these horrendous ones on the right side and just clean up. You know the little mistakes on the other side, the other hand. The consistency is very sticky and it is hard to work with at first. It’s hard to know how much slip to use. I kept either being too dry or too wet but at the end I found a happy medium somehow I don’t even know it’s it’s hard to gauge. If you have the bonding and dehydrator, but especially the bonding, I would not use the basecoat. The gel has a really hard time sticking when you add the basecoat on top of those two other products. To summarize, I do recommend this product to beginners and professionals. Alike I also recommend getting a drill and so far I think it’s a great product.

After looking for over a month, this is one of the very best deals I found when it comes to how much (and the quality of) product you get for the cost. Overall, it's an awesome kit! The polygel is very easy to work with, and will level out just enough to smooth out brush strokes and minor unevenness. > Dual Forms: If you've been doing polygel for awhile, you probably know how difficult it can be to find good dual forms. These are the ones everyone raves about in their YouTube videos, so.... yassss! :) > Base & Top Coats: The base and top coats are excellent, just slightly smaller than a typical full size polish, but I wouldn't call them minis. > Brush: The brush that's included is decent. It comes with a cap/lid that doubles as the brush handle, but doesn't include spatula. It's fine for getting started, but you'll probably want to purchase another if you need a spatula or like it included as part of your brush. > Slip Solution: The slip solution works fine. It is very small though! It will get you through your first full set, maybe 2. I personally prefer alcohol over the solution with these particular polys. I've used up to 90% alcohol on these gels with zero issue. > Polygels: - very easy to work with - great for all experience levels, especially beginners because it has some self-leveling - the Clear is one of the clearest that I've ever used - Light Apricot is a translucent neutral that would work well with any skin tone All in all, I very highly recommend this set, especially if you're a beginner and have been trying to decide among all the options available on Amazon. It would be really hard to beat this value for price! *** PHOTOS: I used the same brand polygels in Soft Pink, White, & Clear for this set. This was my 5th time using polygels, and only the 2nd full set I had done without dual forms. I'm pointing that out to let you know that even if you aren't perfect, this gel is easy to work with and can still turn out nice! > The 1 hand photos were done with my non-dominant hand!

When my box arrived I opened to find a seal on one of the bottles was defective. Polygel had spilled out and gotten on both bottles and the brush. I contacted Amazon and had the option to return the whole thing, but after deliberation I decided to just keep it. It was about an eighth of one bottle and I had been wanting to start playing with polygel immediately and did not want to wait another week or so to return and get a replacement. The leaked polygel was clean so I scooped it out and saved what I could. It was a pain cleaning everything, but I'd rather do that then wait the time necessary to replace it. This was purely a manufacturing error though and does not seem to be a common issue looking at reviews. Besides that, the presentation was nice. Box was nice quality. The base and top coat bottles were classy looking. Everything was packaged well. Polygel does have a learning curve for newbies, but that is nothing specific to a brand. When you first try it does require practice to get the hang of things and get professional looking results. It doesn't take long though to produce acceptable looking cute nails and in my opinion is much easier to work with than acyrlics. I have since used another popular amazon polygel so I can compare to that the product quality. Both are durable and last just as long, but modelones is far easier to work with. It's not as stiff and sticky and spreads much easier. It's not too soft either and doesn't move much if at all after you get the shape you want. It cures in 60 seconds in my 36w lamp. I also have a 6w mini lamp and it cures with that too. These are sheer/clear colors and those tend to cure better than pigmented gels. They do have the sticky layer after curing that you need to wipe off with alcohol. I noticed a lot of people dont know that and think their polygel isn't cured. And if your gel truly is not curing then it's likely that your lamp is not good, and not the polygel since this stuff cures just fine for everyone else. The clear is not cloudy and encapsulated glitters very well. The peachy color is perfect for nail beds. They are 30ml tubes so you get a lot of product. The base coat adheres to the nail very well and keeps the polygel adhered to it. Ive used it with another brand of polygel and it worked well with that too. The top coat is thick but not too thick and extremely glossy. I even use the top coat to adhere small 4mm crystals and they do not budge. The top and base are very nice quality. The slip solution works fine with the modelones gel. This polygel doesn't require a lot of it to mold the product unlike the other polygel I've tried. I did not use the dual forms. I prefer tips so I cant speak on those, but they are included if you want to use them. The file is small but very sturdy and the sandpaper on it is nice and gritty. The brush is cheaper and does not have a picker on it because it's a "travel" brush. I will say the brush end is decent to work with though. The hairs keep their thin, pointed shape and are firm. It makes working with the gel so much easier. I bought a cheap picker brush off Ebay that looks nicer but the brush is crap compared to this travel brush. The hairs on that have frayed out and it doesn't have the pointed shape anymore. I far prefer this travel brush even though it doesnt have the picker end. I definitely recommend the modelones polygel and this kit. If you are a beginner then research everything you need first. I had a uv/led lamp already and just bought some nail primer and dehydrator and some glitter and crystals to start. This kit is cheaper than buying a bigger kit so you can see if its something youd enjoy first rather than spending double the price on a bigger kit and deciding polygel is not for you. Modelones polygel specifically is good for beginners as its consistency is easier to work with compared to another popular brand. But if you dont have a lamp then buying a kit with a lamp would be advisable since youd get more for your money than buying this kit and a separate lamp. Up to you. Plenty of research should be done before you just jump in to polygel though. It is unfortunate I got a defective kit but it doesnt seem to be a common issue so I feel ok recommending this one. Sometimes things happen and as long as they are few and far between then it's not a huge deal. Amazon would have replaced it had I wanted to do so.

I have tried sooo many nail gel products and they always end end up falling off my natural nails. I couldn't believe how easy this product was to use. I love that it comes with this slip solution so you can apply the gel like they do at the salons. At first I didn't use the plastic nails that it comes with....omg you can't go wrong with those, after your nails cure, you pop off the plastic nail, file and top coat it. I love the natural pinky colour, I ways try and find nail polishes this shade. You have no idea how much time you saved me....I can do my own set in under an hour!

Son difíciles de trabajar, se pegan mucho.

El gel transparente llegó con una grieta en el costado derramando producto. Paquete llego pegajoso junto con los artículos que tenia dentro.

This was a good introduction to polygel, nothing is outright bad and for the price the items that aren't perfect are forgivable. I didn't really like the dual forms, none fit quite right and had a bit too much arch which is saying a lot because I have darn well near witch style arches naturally so if this was too much for me, it'll be really frustrating for someone with flat nailbeds. I think the issue really hits home on the underside, it's really hard to keep the gel out from under your free edge because it's shape encourages a huge lump of product towards the free edge where the arch kinda would be. Maybe it's some user error (I'm an acrylic/hard gel and paper form guy) involved. The gel itself is good, clear is sticky af but workable and the brush is decent and stiff enough to handle the consistency. I love the base and top coat that comes with it, I think the Modelones top is my fave out there right now. The slip solution bottle is mad small but I make my own when working with builder gel anyways so it's not a big deal but would have been nice if it was bigger, considering how sticky the clear gel can be.

See order of photos 1. Prepared nail 2. Base coat (cure 30-60 seconds) 3. Line gel evenly in form 4. Put filled form on nail DO NOT PRESS down hard (cure 30-60 seconds) 5. Lift off form to reveal smooth nail 6. File and shape nail remove dust and top coat nail 7. Leave as is or polish with your favourite colour This product will SAVE you so much money, no longer do you need to go to a nail salon. 🥰 You'll need a UV/LED light to cure the product but there's so many cheap machines it's no big issue. ***** REMEMBER TO USE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SLIP SOLUTION ON YOUR BRUSH so it NOT sticky. Don’t over do it though ! Sanitize your nails before applying products They'll last you weeks. I'm "DEFINITELY" a repeat buyer for this product ANY Negative reviews are from people that didn't follow the instructions, I’m a former retired nail tech this product does work. When you are molding the PolyGel take your time, it WON'T HARDEN, play with it until you get it the way you want it. THEN CURE (30-60 seconds)
