I just got my paper forms and I am watching this for guidance.
It's always great when a tutorial is explained well, and the finished look was beautiful...🌼💛🌼
Thank you .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd your welcome my lovely...🌼💛🌼

I was going to say it looks like a great consistency considering how cold it is outside. Nothing worse than a super thick hard to move Poly or a super soft Poly for that matter. The colors are also quite beautiful :)
Thank you .
I love the natural pink color of this gel! It's so nice with your skin tone. i've mostly been using poly gel to keep on larger stones.
Thanks . That’s a good idea if it works for you .
you're the first one talking about the cracking. (Y) always thought i was too stupid to do it right. :) when doing longer nails with polygel, i've always noticed small crack on the side of the stresspoint-area after some time. they looked like cracklepolish. but it isn't the polygel cracking, it's the topcoat (no matter which one i use). never had this with buildergel nails.
Thank you for building with paper forms 🙏 I've seen so many use the plastic weird... Ready made things, I'm used to more builders but have been interested in polygels lately, cause doing just a nail on top of my own
I don’t like the dual form look either . Those don’t fit a lot of people correctly .... especially me . I find that dual forms won’t give people the correct structure to prevent breakage . They can be used as a tip .... then you file and add more product on top to get the correct structure . I have some awesome new tip dual forms coming in and can’t wait to show everyone .
I got mine I'm sooo ready to be a pro like you
I’m have confidence in you ! You will do well ❤️❤️
She makes it look soooo easy and they look gorgeous! Great tutorial 😊
Thank you
Great video. I know how to do my stress point correctly now. Your a life saver.
I use this same brand. Not as good as you are, but your videos are perfect for beginners. Literally have learned so much from watching you! I’m still using dual forms which can be annoying to work with, but def practicing so I can build the nails too! Thanks for your expertise!!!!!
Very nicely taught tutorial. You make it very clear how to work with this polygel. Thank you Denice
Hello Denice, can you tell me where you ordered your toenail forms from? Been looking and can't seem to find them. Thanks, Joyce
You mean the pink dual forms ? Sorry I’m just seeing this comment Joyce .
Gorgeous colour Denise it looks so natural, I love working with gel it’s so beautiful to look at once cured, I love how you work with gel and the shape you do your nails, yes your right sometimes it doesn’t cure underneath so a little more curing does it, the lamp I’m using now is a sun Xplus 72 watt lamp it’s amazing I bought it last year from eBay
Hi Barbie ! Thanks . Hope you are doing well . I’m going to go and look up the lamp you bought . It sounds great !
. Denisejohn65 - Nail Ed bless you denise it’s one badasss lamp, because it’s 72 watt you will see faster curing and amazing sets, it’s truly an amazing lamp, I have 5 lamps at home and the 72watt unit truly stands out by far, hope alls well dear and your wrapping up and keeping warm? It’s cold in the UK too I can’t wait for summer it’s a lot, have a beautiful day Denise & keep those awesome videos up my customers watch them in the shop they love them, they ask where Denise videos that’s how much they love your work, I’m your biggest fan dear and nothing will ever change that💕💖💗💓💞💝🌹🌷🌼🌺🌸💐🥀👍🏽😻😻😻
These detailed instructions and tips are fantastic, thank you!! 😃
Thank you for watching ❤️
You always create very pretty nails. Even simple ones look amazing. Thank you I’ve learned so much from you. The polygel color is perfect with your skin tone. 💕
Thank you 😊
Awesome review and demo as always luv thanks for sharing and showing much love always 💅💕💕💕
Catching up on your videos ;) . I love sculpting with forms better too rather than dual forms too. Looks GREAT!
Wow!!!!! The video clarity is beautiful!! Thank you !!!
Thank you
Good stuff! I’m still trying to master the dual forms before moving on to paper forms, though I’d eventually like to always do it with the paper forms. At the moment, giving my nails a long break from any product as I damaged the tips with my exile, like a goof. Lol
Such a beautifully shaped nail💜
Thank you
I did my first set of polygels last night! Now, I'm looking around for how I should have done it - better. Great tips with the form and clip! I had tiny little pieces of fuzz from my sweater keep attaching itself into the wet gel. Made me so mad! No more sweaters while doing polygel (like your glitter!).
Thank you . We learn by experience .
Omg I hate when that happens lol I constantly am getting little hairs in my nails! Whether it's acrylic, polygel, or hard gel.. always thought it was just me lol glad I'm not the only one who struggles with that! Anyone know how to avoid this? :) Thanks!
I'm not a subby BUT I TRULY THANK YOU FOR HELPING WITH THIS! I listened to what you were saying about the length that is very important. I also realized the aluminum thick paper forms are way better than the plastic forms especially when u DON'T have a drill. Thanks again 👍😃
I needed this I’ve never worked with poly ✍🏽 so I’m talking notes boo 🙏🏽
You will do great !
That looks like a nice gel, I love the colour
Thank you .
Yes I agree I used polygel with a duel form and the nail broke at the stress area. And I used a lot of product so it’s not like I didn’t use enough product. I wonder if I use a builder in a bottle over the finished nail for added strength would it make a difference🤔
Yes , it definitely will . Build the nail with polygel and a dual form . Pop it off , then build structure and the apex with more polygel or builder gel .
Thanks for sharing. I have seen this brand but was leery on buying it due to other poly gel I have purchased off Amazon that wasn’t so great. I will definitely be trying some out...thanks...great videos btw!! 👍🏼😁💅🏼❤️
Thank you very much ❤️
All polygels are slightly different in consistency . Some more firm , some more soft . It’s just preference. A nail has to be built correctly to last . It has to have the correct thickness and the apex needs to be placed in the correct location on the nail . The majority of the time the product is good , it’s the errors made by the tech or person creating the nail . There is also a correct way to prep the nail as well . To soften firm polygel , put the tube in a warm to hot cup of water . To firm up soft polygel , put it in the refrigerator over night before using .
I love Makartt
Thanks for the video. Beautiful 🌻
Thank you for watching ❤️
Good work my sis god bless you ❤️🎼
Thank you ❤️
My maiden name is John. 🙂 Anyway, thanks for this. I’m so over tips and glue. Nail forms are on the way. 👍🏾
Awesome !
Awesome job, explaining so well, best video I have seen so far
Thank you .... but like I said in the other comment you left .... I don’t use their products anymore .
Gorgeous nail!!!
Thank you .
Thank you soooo much! I started recently with dual forms and they all broke off pretty much. Can’t wait to try nail forms this video was very helpful!!
Thank you very much . I’m very happy you found it helpful . Yes , dual forms are not good for the actual shape and thickness that a artificial nail needs to be . Especially if the nail is long .
This polygel looks nice 💗
Yes it is
So much info! What a great video thank you!! X
Thank you . I’m very happy you liked it . ❤️
You’re the best 💃🏾💃🏾
Thank you ❤️.... but I wouldn’t say the best .
So, if you were to do short nail. Do you have to apply more for the apex of the nail?
No , not as much because it’s short .
Very well said . Thank you . I’m tired and it’s 3:30 am here ! I can’t think anymore ! 😵 😴 night !
Thank you for this! I've used dual forms with acrylic and knew that wouldn't be good with a gel. This is a nice close up and explanation of polygel and paper form.
Thank you very much . I’m glad you like it .
Thanks for another great review. I keep trying (& failing) with polygel but haven’t yet given up. This looks like a great product.
It takes a bit of practice to get used to using polygel . You have to try all the different ways to find out what works for you . I got a few new videos of polygel application that may help you . I have even improved since this video . I will get the links for you .
. Denisejohn65 - Nail Ed Thanks so much!

I’ve been trying to do polygel for hours... and it’s been months of me trying on and off. Wasted product and time and I’m at the giving up point here. Hoping this video will help
same... I've tried on and off for over a year and it's been kind of rough and discouraging. when I started it took me 8 yes EIGHT hours to complete a full set. last time I did it I was down to about 2 1/2 hours but they lifted after only a week. it takes so freaking long and the time I spend just doesn't seem worth it. so so frustrating. :(
Same here, and it’s so frustrating😓, did you guys tried this method? I’m waiting for my nail forms, and hoping it will work for me
@@cheesypotatoluv how are you doing now? I finally used my kit and it was a total fail and I got through only a few fingers before i gave up! And it was BS because I spent a few hours just prepping to make sure I was doing it all right before I even played the gel down! So I put it away for a couple months and then tried again the other day, on my feet lol. I am actually happy with the feet but it took me hours too. I did my hands and they're not great but it took me HOURS as well, just like you! Have you improved on your time at all? Do you have an efile? I think I'm gonna buy tips and paper forms soon because even though my dual forms fit, once the gel is applied the nail is too small lol.
@@amiela_ how did it work out for ya? What methods have you tried, dual forms/paper forms/tips?
@@cheesypotatoluv oh yeah, do you use primer and dehydrator for the lifting issue? I use both and no lifts yet.. but it has only been a week.
Amazing!!

So perfect
Excellent resource, this video is [didn't mean to sound like Yoda, but I'm riding it out lol]. I'm just about to start trying out hybrid gel, I have a box of new product here, and I'm excited to try. This video helped me feel a little more at ease about trying.
No worries , you will do fine ! Thank you so much . I’m glad you found it helpful ❤️
Great video! Can I ask do you have a favorite brand of polygel that you would recommend? Also do you think adding a thin layer of builder gel over the polygel would help with the chipping on the sides? Im currently experiencing that now😩.
Sorry it’s taken so long for me to get back to you . Sometimes I don’t see these comments till later.

Yes , your idea will definitely help with chipping .
Hey Denise .. when u pinch the nail with the clip .. how do u make it so that the edges of the clip doesn’t make etching scrapes on edge of nail ? Cause I’m placing it just u showed here and I’m getting these little marks from clip 😢🥴 and I checked to make sure not cured to little or too much and not sure what the ..... lol 😝
It’s normal to get a few little scratches or dents . But if the polygel appears too soft just cure it a few more seconds .
. Denisejohn65 - Nail Ed oh okay so it’s not just me lol 😝 thanks 🥰
Nope , it happens .
I've also found that different brands vary. For example, hers was still pliable enough to get a good pinch after 20 seconds. The brand I'm using right now would have already been too firm (which is super annoying when it comes to pinching!)
I have such a hard time building and apex.
Very helpful, thank you!
What do you use to smoothen if your polygell is too sticky while applying....is it basecoat?
No basecoat ! That is not the proper or professional way to do it . Use a slip solution or just use isopropyl alcohol .
How do you get the cuticle like that ? Looks like electric file. I just can’t get it like that.
First try to smooth and pat down the polygel around the cuticle area before curing . Then yes , you take the efile around there and smooth and blend it .
For some reason my poly gel sometimes doesn’t cure in the middle and I cure it for a total of 2 minutes.
Maybe your lamp is not strong enough . It should be at least 36 - 48 watts with at least 24 or more lights .
I have the gelish lamp
What is the the wattage and how many lights is in it ??
Is it a dual lamp or just a led lamp ?
Please enter me to win the stamping plates and dust brush! Thia is my favorite video for two reasons: I'm just starting with polygel and this was very informative AND this video is how I found you!
Can i ask do u use oil or water for the brush?
For slip solution I usually use alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol which is rubbing alcohol. Or I use a non-acetone nail polish remover and even sometimes a odorless monomer. All you need to do with the slip is just to control the poly gel that’s all.
I tried water it was horrible
Yeah , water doesn’t work .
Hi Denise how do you practice doing fills with polygel not on a person? Do I need a practice hand?
Yes.
Do you put base coat on the natural nail before you apply the poly gel????
Yes , everyone should for polygel .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd ehsy ase did you used?can i use hybrid base????
Where would I find one of those metal clips to help my c-curve? They almost look like the clips you can get at Office Depot or something.
They are ... but I have the clear clips on order . That way the gel can cure better through the clips
Great video thank you
When finished curing the polygel, do you need to file the surfaces before top coat? Also, if I want to put another gel colors on them, do I file first and then put colors?
Yes . You will need to file and perfect the shape of your polygel nail first ... then top coat . Once the polygel nail is filed and shaped if you choose to , you can apply the base coat and then gel polish , then top coat .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd thanks for the info!! You are the best :)
What we can use instead of alcohol ? Can we use Nail polish remover?
Yes , you can if you absolutely have to .... but not acetone .
Beautiful 😍
Thank you very much ❤️😊
Y.W.
Thank you ☺️ gorgeous! If you were doing a full set , would you do one finger at a time or all 5 at once?
I would only do 2 at a time , because Makartt polygel is too soft and the polygel will move . I’m not a fan of their polygel and never use it anymore .
. Denisejohn65 - Nail Ed awesome thank you. I’ve always used NSI builder gel. I have Frenz polygel which is way thicker than the that one . That colour is stunning though. I’m itching to get back into polygel lol
I loooovvvveeee builder gels tho ! They are my love , my favorite ! ❤️
. Denisejohn65 - Nail Ed me too 💕
I did my first set last night 2 already popped off and I have bubbles trapped underneath. I was told polygel was the best to work with if you’re a beginner. What material do you think is easiest?
Polygel .... if they are popping off you either didn’t prep correctly . It could also be your nails are not the proper thickness or structure . Are you using dual forms ?
Prep video here

Here’s another prep
How to Prep The Nails for Gel Tutorial -----------------How " I " do It EASYua-cam.com/video/m6NC33gnA5o/v-deo.html
I do not recommend dual forms . I’m not a fan of those . Only if you file the nail after you put it on with a dual form .... then apply another layer on top for structure and strength . Still I do not like or use dual forms . A glue on nail tip is better than those .
. Denisejohn65 - Nail Ed Yeah I did use the dual forms, I shouldn’t say popping off more like snapping at the apex which I know means I need to make thicker but then I get either the bubbles or the tip is a thick mess. I figured your the dual form would be easier than free handing with a tip or nail form but I think I should try that instead.
I assume the paper mail form would not work if you don’t have any length on your natural nail? My nails are so brittle, they grow out the tiniest bit and they break off. I’ve been using dual forms, but would like to see if the paper forms are any easier.
Give the paper forms a try and see how it goes for you .
I like to use them both! I'm not good at forming on the paper so I use the paper to make sure I have it perfect underneath while I use the dual forms to shape it for me 😂
@@kittylynn5950 good idea! I normal just use the forms and always have issues on the bottom. Definitely have to give using the paper form on the bottom and duel form on top.
I bought a kit but only came with dual forms and nail forms I want to use nail forms but it didn’t seem to come with a clip can I use The nail form without a clip every beauty supply store are all closed due to what’s going on any tips???😢🤦
I’m planning to start a nail business. Will you recommend tip or polygel extensions? I personally like the finish of polygel better but tips are so quick!
Offer both .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd Wouldn't tips not last as long (because it's stuck on by glue)?
@@ChrystalSeah The product on top keeps then in place. You can do normal fills, they will stay put
@@i.8885 Thank you kind soul!
@@ChrystalSeah ♥
Is a gel base coat a must with polygel? Or am I able to use a regular nail polish base coat, or even no base coat at all?
You should use a gel base coat . One that cures in a lamp . It’s helps the polygel stick to the nail surface .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd thanks :)
Where do you buy your brush from? Can u use an acrylic brush for it or do u have to use that kind of brush?
You can use whatever brush works for you . It’s best to use a flat brush .
Why am I having so
Much trouble with this product is it because I’m heavy handed ?
Could be .... light touch patting . Sometimes I think polygel nails can turn out thick if too much is used .
Can you use too much slip? I am excited to try this
Don’t use too much or it will just make it worse on you .
Do you know if you can go back and build on the nail with polygel once it’s already cured? Are u able to do that with builder gel?
Thanks for the detail in this video!
Yes , you can build over polygel once cured . Polygel leaves a tacky layer behind . But if you have cleaned and filed it , you must again add a base , then you can build . Same goes for builder .... but if your builder is a one phase gel , ( base is in the builder gel ) then you won’t need a base . I use a one phase builder gel .
What client or purpose do you think the polygel is ideal for?
I think polygel is good for a overlay on natural nails . Also good for short nail enhancements . As long as the client isn’t prone to lifting . Problem lifters , in my own opinion , will tend to have even more problems with gel products . I hope this helps some . It’s just my opinion .
Can you use tips with poly gel on top and still pinch ?
Natalie Jimenez yes you can!
Yes .
Maybe polygel with dual forms works better with modelones because thats the 1 i use and my nails don't fall apart
Did you not get a heat spike at all from this? I have a similar at from nail extravaganza and if I laid the full nail like that it would have a heat spike, guaranteed.
I have never known polygel to give off a heat spike yet for me . Does polygel give you heat spikes ?
I'm going to try nail forms for my thumbs because the dual forms don't fit.
My nail tech always builds stiletto nails with polygel.
Awesome !❤️
@@Denisejohn65NailEd May I ask you a question? How many treatments do you get out of the tube?(30 ML) In average?
Does it break? x
I did a polygel set and ended up having to add a thin layer of acrylic i did a short short set and still kept getting breakage the acrylic made the set last until i removed it
If you had to do that then you didn’t build the nail correctly. It’s needs to be thick enough and have an apex .... acrygel is stronger than some soft polygels . You can tell which polygels are softer .... They are usually the soak off polygels and the nails tend to wear on the edges of the tips .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd yea it was definitely a soft polygel
Can u use gel polish and foils on this or not xx
Oh yes , you sure can !
Hi! Can I put a gel polish on the top of the poly gel? Thanks
Yes you can .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd thank you xx
You are very welcome . Stay safe and healthy ! ❤️
how long do they last till you have to start over again?
Indefinitely , as long as you keep filling them every 2 - 3 weeks or until you are sick of them and need a change .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd thank you so much
@@Denisejohn65NailEd can i put on acrylic nails and then put the clear polygel on?
@@denisehuey3039 yes it would still cure x
Oh you do! Haha nvm , i guess i’m just wondering about regular gel then
Does polygel have to get led light or uv light to cure
Yes
Uv light💕
Dual lamp or led .....
Hey Denise, can you use 2 different brands of polygel when making baby boomer?
I’m sure you can . I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t .
Thanks!
Is polygel as strong as hard builder gel for nail biters?
I have polygel on right now, and I bit my nail to be able to answer your question LOL. It feels the same as biting regular gel :)
@@elleb2412 thanks
Instead of using more polygel, is it possible to use a clear builder gel?
Yes , it’s very possible . I do it . But you have to build the proper structure with the builder gel . Which may require up to 3 more layers .
I did poly gel with dual form, it’s been on for a week now. Try adding more product and prep fully!
What was the liquid she dipped The brush in
It’s isopropyl alcohol , 91 %
@@Denisejohn65NailEd you are better off usuing a lessor alcohol such as 60 / 70 too strong breaks down the polygel making it weaker ! 💜🤗
No that’s not true . I always use 91% and never had an issue. It doesn’t matter what percent . Isopropyl Alcohol is not a corrosive like acetone , so it won’t break down the product . You should use isopropyl alcohol and or slip sparingly . It’s only used to keep the brush from sticking to the product . No need to over wet the brush or polygel .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd i know girl but its a known fact for polygel less percentage is better !
Denisejohn65 have you used the gel x kit? I seen alot of videos on it but I trust your opinion/ view.
No I have not . That is not something I’m interested in . Those and the apres are just basically like glue on nails . Improper structure and you can’t fill them properly . I’d rather sculpt my nails with a form with gel . ( or acrylic occasionally ) .... and use a glue on tip once in a blue moon .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd I was skeptical about them too.
I'll stick with my acrylic or polygel. Thanks for answering my question. I learn so much from you. 😊😊🤗🤗
Thank you . I’m happy to help
❤️
Do you find that with working with so much slip solution, and the brush being so wet that you get lifting?
No , not at all . I don’t have lifting . When you have never worked with a brand , or worked very little with a brand ...... it takes time to get it down how much alcohol or slip solution to use . Every brand of polygel is different . That’s why it’s good to find a brand you like that you can work with and stick with it . That way a person can figure out and get used to the amount of slip they need to use . I test out a lot of polygels , so finding a correct ratio of slip or alcohol can be a little challenging . I’m thinking that possibly you are using too thin of layers of your polygel ..... or your prep work is not up to par .
@@Denisejohn65NailEd I don't have lifting issues, I was just taught not to work so wet. I find my brush often sticks because I'm paranoid about the slip solution leaking down between the gel and nail.
Who ever taught you , didn’t think about the different kinds of polygel . Obviously, if it’s sticking you need more slip .
A lot of us use a thin layer of clear first to create a form before the actual application and then you have a base to work on and some built in strength, then cap in clear. Just another way to do it cause forms aren’t really made for polygel products and then you can build out a long nail.
That’s not true . I don’t know who told you that or why you assume that . That’s false information . Polygel is made for all applications . Whether using a glue on tip or a paper form . You don’t need to make a platform before applying polygel . You are wasting time . Polygel , can be sculpted all by itself .... and it will stay strong as long as it’s built correctly . I learned from first hand experience on getting the correct structure . I mean , if you are sculpting extremely extremely long nails , then a platform will be helpful . Polygel is not a new product . It’s been here forever . Nail techs have been making it on their own since gel arrived on the scene . It just that now it is marketed and sold .
what does clipping the nail do?
Latasha F it creates a c curve. Gives the nail strength
i always get the polygel stuck under my, nails sighs
Use your efile and file it out .
That brand is toooo sticky for me but you did great working with it
Thank you . Yes , it can and especially more so if you live in a warm climate.
. Denisejohn65 - Nail Ed That is so true ❤️❤️I’m in Texas🤣🤣🤣🤗❤️
I had a really hard time with this product. It was difficult to squeeze out and extremely sticky. I dipped my brush in alcohol and the gel would curdled that’s the only way I can describe what would happen to it. I made it work but it took me over an hour to do one hand. Maybe I got an old bottle? It totally was not as soft and easy as yours looks. A total nightmare!
Lily Meows try hand sanitizer but make sure you use a good amount and that’s its gel I had the same problem when I started but just used more alcohol
Wish you showed the filing on camera
I know … but it’s just too dusty for my camera .
may i ask how long the polygel nail lasted?
Indefinitely .... you just keep filling it as it grows out . Do Regular fills every 2-3 weeks ... just as you would with acrylic or hard builder gel . Unless you want to remove them for a whole different new set
What’s the watt for the lamp? Thanks for the video!
What lamp ?
. Denisejohn65 - Nail Ed the UV/LED nail lamp
What is the liquid that you are using on the brush?
Isopropyl alcohol / Rubbing alcohol
70%??
91 % …. 70 will work
@@Denisejohn65NailEd Thank you!
According to what you've said: polygon isn't meant for really long nails (due to it's softness). Then why is there NO videos of sculpting a square short nail?? Please make on..
There are many videos out there sculpting short square nails with polygel . Just do a search .... 🙄
Many videos on sculpting short nails darling... search
can u gell them so its not pink x
Huh ?

What is the name of the alcool that she used?
you can use rubbing alcohol, it works the same
Yes , rubbing alcohol and isopropyl alcohol are the same thing .
I use 100% acetone and it works fine
Hannah - you shouldn’t use 100 % acetone , but that’s your business . I don’t ever recommend that on my channel .
