MONEY SAVER and TIPS FOR SUCCESS
This product is AMAZING! It comes with 6 tubes of polygel which based on my estimates will each last 4 uses to do 4 full sets of nails so you’re paying like 45$ to get 24 sets of nails that don’t chip for weeks! I’ve convinced several of my friends over to using this too after they complemented my nails. Don’t get my wrong tho there is def a learning curve but here’s some things I learned
1. It doesn’t come with a lamp, dehydrator, or enough files so order them separately(you can use rubbing alcohol above 70% for the dehydrator)
2. When using the file to smooth surface of nails, always use the smoother side of the file to prevent leaving scratches on ur polygel
3. You will 100% overestimate how much polygel you need to use at first, but I promise you don’t need to make it very thick
4. Don’t use the clear your first time as it is too hard to see how thick you are making it
5. Make the polygel thinner at the base of your nail so it doesn’t raise up a lot because that can make it lift easier as it grows out which you don’t want
And another money saver I learned is after you put the top coat on the polygel you can paint normal polish of any color onto that and do another coat of the top coat and then you can have whatever color nails you want that won’t chip!
