- Dual Form Nails - Common MISTAKES
In this video, I will share common mistakes when doing nails with dual forms. I used polygel technology as an example, but most of these problems refer to any technology - hard gel, acrylic or polygel.
Top 10 Dual forms Nail Extensions mistakes -
Choosing flat dual forms
Sticky layer - remove from the base coat
Fitting the dual form - smaller
Application - too thick near cuticle / side walls
Application - too flat all over - no apex
Application - not enough product near cuticle - bubbles+
Pressing too much - the product squeezed out
Too close to the cuticle
Not cleaning the product underneath
Filing the cuticle area and sidewalls / underneath
Which of those mistakes have you ever done?

Just doing some polygel for the first time. I put the dual form backwards and got a number printed onto it haha
Just tell ppl "I meant to do that, it's the new trend" 😁💕
😂😂
Thats hilarious !! 🤣 it takes so much practice like for me my problem is i cant smooth out the bottom because the dual form comes off or moves around eveeeery time
KaJ uN haha it could work 🥰
Neonlights same, I think a lot of people use those electronic files.
Usually, mine are ending up slightly too thick, but they don’t move too much anymore for some reason :)
I made ALL of these mistakes plus some when I first started, lol. When I do my own nails with dual forms I tend to prefer to do it a bit thin and then after curing, I add a 2nd layer to the top and build my apex. I've had them last over 4 weeks that way.
Miss Riley Smart! Thank you!!!!!!
So do you put more gel in the dual form and repeat the process or do you just put the gel directly on the cured first layer on your finger and then even it out with the brush?:)
Great idea 👍🏾
So smart!
This is a great idea!!! I will try a second layer as I have been having a lot of trouble building the apex😋
this is such a popular video right now since we are all at home doing our own nails
Haha so true I literally just bought a kit off wish 🤣 it probably won’t be very good but it’s better than nothing 😋

The first time I tried the poly gel kit it took me like 5 hours and turned out horrible, everything was sticky haha

I just love dual forms. I cant use acrylic because it causes contact dermatitis due to the monimer. I tried dip powder with nail glue and tips, but was never satisfied with the end result and they broke off too easily. Dual forms were a total game changer for me. Now my nails look professional and I’m proud to tell people I did them myself when they ask who does them.
I was just going to ask about this! I'm allergic to acrylic so I was wondering if polygel would irritate my skin. Would your cuticles and fingers get super itchy and bumpy with acrylic too? I want to give polygel a try but I'm afraid it'll cause the same reaction acrylic did...
I'm wondering the same. I experience the same thing with acrylic and have been doing dip powder. I'm going to order mine now and hopefully it doesn't irritate me 🤞🏼
How long do they last for you??
@@MsTalmidim monomor+ polymer = acrylic, gel = acrylic, nail glue = acrylic
thus, if you are allergic to acrylic... you shouldn't be using any of it.
any product can cause contact dermatitis if you get it on your skin. if you don't have the correct product ratio, and the monomer leaks onto your skin, yes, you will end up with contact dermatitis due to the acrylic.
I made every single one of these mistakes in one manicure lol. On myself. Very helpful video for a non-pro like me. 😊
Poly gell spreading liquid name plz?
@@NoName-ru4jg u can use alcohol
I have been using the poly gel nail system at home for months. I have watched tons of videos and read lots of tips. My major problem is the dual form slides off my nail while I am working on the underside. This is the FIRST info I’ve found about how to prevent that. I tried curing the base coat like normal then wiping it lightly off. Worked the first time! I now have a set of beautiful nails!!! Thank you so much
Try using less slip or alcohol...that was MY problem 😅
She makes it look so difficult that’s why I watch long pretty nail she makes it look more easy

As a nail tech, I don't use dual forms anymore when my clients want polygel extensions. I find paper forms much easier to use and are mess free. But for beginners, this is great 😊
I'm a tech too, sculpting is so simple with poly gel I'm not sure I can think of any reason I would benifit from using a dual form
I am not a nail technician bit this look more difficult than paper form. I tried it once, it was a mess 😂😂😂
I was thinking of trying it that way
@@allystar1785actually dual forms are supposed to be easier because it takes out two steps: learning how to sculpt which is an entire technique on its own and a lot of filing
You did it really nicely. Thanks for teaching! ❤️
👍👍👍👍👍
I always struggled. But the last time I did my polygel with nails forms, I did it twice, thin-ish with the clips to press the forms down so it cures. I like how it came out. Perfect thickness (for me)
I love the fact that she was very specific about every single material used in this vídeo for example if she used slip she said and if she used alcohol she said it. Great job!!
Anyone watching this as you just ordered a kit during lockdown and need help 🤣

I am definitely keeping this video on hand whenever I am going to try dual forms for the first time :D
I think I'm going to try polygel next but I'm so nervous to make a mess of it. Absolutely loving your channel and I so appreciate all these tutorials!!
Ok, I tried twice and both times they fell off the next day. Watching this it’s very clear I’ve been making almost every mistake 🤦♀️
I just did my nails yesterday using dual forms and polygel for the first time. I watched countless videos and they all made it look so easy! (as they usually do). However, during application, when I went to try to smooth the underside of my nail, it kept pushing the dual form up! I tried resting my hand on the table so that the form was against it, and then pressing the product flat underneath, but it still pushed it loose. Then when I would try to push it back down, it would squeeze product all over my finger. It was a mess! What did I do wrong? How do you smooth the underneath without pushing the dual form loose? Thanks for the video!
I have the EXACT same problem. I was wondering if it has to to with the brand/quality of the gel... But I have two different brands and it happens with both... Someone help us please 🙏
Fallacy DeCuir same problem!!
Yes, it might be challenging with some product, especially thin consistency.
It is better to hold the dual form while cleaning the product underneath - but not press.
If it squeezes a little - it's ok, just immediately clean it with the brush
Try to find the position where you can hold the dual form and clean the product underneath at the same time (i know, sounds too hard, but possible)
I’ve found that once you have shaped the product in the dual form, let the slip solution you use dry off from the surface. Also, as this video said, wipe off the sticky layer from your base coat. If you do these two things, when you put the form on the nail both services will be dry enough to stay attached to one another without having things move. You barely need to wet your brush to smooth the underside. If that fails, I haven’t tried tried these yet, but apparently there are clips that you can buy ( most likely from anywhere you bought the polygel ) that can gently hold the form in place. But my go to technique is using a cheap paper form under the dual form. You don’t need to put it on as precisely as if you were sculpting, so no matter how you put it on it will keep the underside smooth.
@@alleniversonisabeast oh that's a good idea! thank you!
Veryyyy helpful while being quick and to the point. The underneath of my nail came out so thick that I stopped and started researching. Shaping it with the brush while the form is on the nail before curing makes a ton of sense. Thanks! (And duhhh lol)
oh my god this was so perfect i did my first polygel nails two days ago and made almost all of these mistakes!! luckily i found this early on, thank you!!
Great tutorial. I just received my first poly gel kit.
You did a fantastic job explaining how to use poly gel correctly. Thanks!
It’s so helpful in lockdown cuz we are all at home doing our own nails thanks for giving us this video
I really like your video but for me the straight dual forms are way better than the curved, I don’t think it’s a mistake to use straight dual forms but I still really appreciate this video!🥰
Same here! It’s honestly not bad as long as you have the product thick enough not to break
Where was this video when I needed it YESTERDAY? 😭✋
Wow, thank you so much for this video.❤️💯🏆 Now I understand why my nails didn’t look good, I was doing many of the mistakes shown here. THANK YOU. ❤️
Great video! You helped me a lot, thank you so much
Try regular mail forms, they go under your nail instead
What a great tips. I did polygel for the first time and took me so long to get the right lenght and then the next morning the tips break 😌 Today i will try you’re tips.
In my opinion Modelones 120pcs Coffin Nails Clear Ballerina Nail Tips Full Cover are the best for my short, wide nails. Thanks for sharing the video!
Can we use those nails for the apres gel x method because i brought them and i rlly want to know
Thank you just seeing this video about polygel l had given up ever using polygel ever again l got loads as presents when l was interested in doing my nails this way. Your video has helped me understand what l was doing wrong once again thank you.
It looks so easy when I see other people do it. Thank you for the tips. I’m not a huge fan of the dual forms because they have given me so much trouble but mine look exactly like the first ones you showed that were too flat. That could explain it. I also am having an issue with my clear poly gel..it’s extremely sticky and doesn’t spread out that easily even with slip solution. Any suggestions on this?
I pop my polygel in the fridge, it makes it easier to work with, less sticky
Try a different brand
Modelones plastic forms are the best! Thanks for sharing your videos!
Thank you!! This video solved some of my problems!! I love watching your videos ! I always learn something! Regards Paula 🥰💞💅🏽🇿🇦
Thank you , Paula!
I use to do my own acrylics and I thought that I could do poly nails well too...I was wrong. This video is a life saver!!!!
Thank you for this video! I have such trouble with dual forms!
I'm trying my nails for the first time. You are the first one to remind me not to put to little and to only press ever so lite. I just had to restart my nail. Thankfully I'm only on my first nail
Thank you for sharing this helpful information. Everything is clearly explained & easy to understand. The speaker enunciated the words perfectly & created a neatly polished professional presentation. Two thumbs up to her for making this an excellent quality tutorial.
Ohh ive had the modelones forms.😍 Both the flat ones and curved. I found the curved ones (my preferred shape) didnt fit my nails. I would for sure need clear clips w them. So i tried the flat, as my nails naturally have a good curve. And it worked nicely. Stayed on about 13 days before i needed a minor touch up. Do wish the curved fit better tho. 😩 As someone whose done at home acrylic, builder gel, and poly, (u can use forms for all btw) i HIGHLY recommend the poly for beginners. Especially if you will be applying them to yourself. Also, get a pack of clear clips off amazon!! (If they clamp too tightly, just bend the metal coil slightly to loosen the clamp/clip strength w some needle nose pliers. Shouldnt have to though). The clamps keep the form in place while curing under ur lamp. And i found them to be A god send even w the flat forms. Also INVEST IN A DRILL. A basic one is fine. But, it will cut down your application time by half, if not more. And you cant beat the ease of clean up and shaping with an electric drill. If anyone needs any links for any of the above (including an awesome poly gel beginners kit, comes w everything u need to do many full sets) lmk. 😁 And GL to all u quarantine DIYer's!! You got this! 💪👏💅😍 This video is a GREAT place to start ofc as these rlly are easy mistakes to make. A few YT vids and mindfulness will save u a ton of trial & error.👌
How do you pinch with a dual form? This is what I need to learn!

Thank you so much 💕 your videos are teaching me so much as I wait for my Modelone order. This is my first time doing this and I'm so excited too 😁
I am nail artist from India...just started my work ...want to know about polygel nails and more....this vedio will be help me lot ❤️
I can't express how much I needed this video! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much!
i ordered polygel a couple months ago, did all of these mistakes but i learned from em
Thank you so much! I saved this video for referral information! Excellent!
That nail with the flowers & milky ish color is SO cute i need to know how to recreate
Just got some relish poly gel. Thanks for the tips!
I'm new to this type of nails. This video is very helpful for me. Thank You for doing this one. Was so cool that you did example of what the missteps were.
I truly believe these forms are fantastic for those that can’t afford to get their nails done by a pro or can’t due to COVID. I will never use them as an option with a client. It’s takes away too much of the process and beauty of sculpting a nail with a true nail form. I will use tips but those have to have straight side walls and a deep C curve. I just don’t think a nail tech should be offering duel form service. I understand that they could double their earnings by seeing twice as many clients but it’s not worth it to me.
Every nail tech has a different cliente and they can offer what people are willing to buy, who are you to judge
I’m 16 and love having acrylics but I have to pay if I want them so I ordered a poly gel set and lemme tell you this video helped💕
This makes me so nervous to try it.. getting my kit tomorrow. Wish me luck. 🙃🙃
1)how did it go? 2)did u use a uv lamp?
I ordered a bunch of polygel kits and stuff to start learning how this video helps so much!
Mine just slide around everywhere on my nails no matter what I do especially when i try to smooth the underside
Same. I was looking for a response to this
I have the same problem but I saw a video where someone used a clear clamp/clip to keep it in place they sell them on Amazon! Look up polygel nail clips
I notice that if I use too much slip solution it slides a lot on the nail. Try cleaning the brush and using a little less
Flash cure it for five seconds before smoothing the underside - much easier!
What drill and drill bits would you recommend for under the nail? I would love to learn with your tutorials. I am new but I am very interested in becoming a nail tech. Ty for your help 😃
When I use the dual forms for polygel, some how the dual forms does not stay put means it is keep on sliding from the cuticle side. Need suggestions.
Maybe the sticky layer from the base coat causes it to move.
I like how.u straight away started n got into the video with details
Every time I use dual forms (mine are Rossi) with gel or with polygel, the form will lift before I get it under a lamp to cure. I've tried using more product, less product, different sizes, pressing the form harder onto the nail hoping it will stick long enough to cure in place, but it never does and if I'm not quick enough I end up with big bubbles or ridges where the product is pulled between the nail and the lifting form. Any suggestions?!?
Try holding it with your hand and hold the lamp over the hand for 10 seconds and then cure as usual
Exact same thing happens to me. I end up with giant air bubbles. I thought it was the dual forms I was using but I've tried others and they did the same. So frustrating when you see all of these videos of beautiful, quick easy nails done using dual forms and I can't get them to work to save my life!
they make cheap little plastic clamps you can get on aliexpress that hold the dual forms down! the same kept happening to me until i got those
This information is very helpful. s clearly explained in a professional manor.
It's a neatly polished professional presentation.
The speaker enunciated the words skills professional presentation
The speaker's skills are impressive, her enunciation is excellent. The information was clearly explained in a professional manor.
This video is insightful & most helpful, thank you for sharing!
I do all this and prep correctly yet they don't last 20 minutes and pop off. I don't understand why.
Maybe there is something wrong with the gel that you use
Maybe your nails are too oily? Mine fell off after several days and I think it happened because I didn't dehydrate them before starting to put base coat on
Had to use tips and no dual form. easier. Plus I have long nails
I've used several brands of gel ranging in price. I also use a nail dehydrator beforehand during my prep
@@bethan2850 Maybe nails aren't for you or you just need to pay to get them done. Done mine two weeks ago and still in tact.
I found this cute little kit on Amazon, but I had no idea what poly gel was, but I'm so glad I found this video. First of all, girl! You are so talented 😍. This video was super chill too, I immediately knew I didn't want this product because, well, because I am basic asf sitting here with my KISS press on's 😂😂😂😂. I still stayed for the whole video!
I really love this channel already, well done! Looking forward to seeing more😍😁
Thank you!
No wonder my poly was runny, I didn't wipe the sticky layer off before putting the product... Thanks 💙💙💙
I feel like I apply enough and every time I place the dual form on my nail it never stays there without bubbling back up and me needing to hold it down..😫
Flash cure it for 5 seconds.
Even when flash curing the forms pop up and pull the nail with it. I’m considering rubber bands to hold the forms on🤷♀️
Karen P. I gave up with the dual forms and am just using tips and it works soo much better. A bit more time consuming because I know the whole point of the dual forms is less filing and what not but idk for me they just haven’t worked and it just gets too messy. So try some tips maybe!
Kayla so you use poly gel with tips?
venus louise Yes, works great for me I’m on week 3 with the tips I applied with the polygel over them.
I watched so many videos on this and did it for the 1st time came out great. Did it 3 more times same result but lost all my nail forms moving so I stick to the dip powder.
I tried poly gel for the first time last night I definitely struggled i think nail tips would easier than dual forms personally
demi hiscoe I think am going to try this is not my 1st time playing with poly gel but I find that it do not turn out the way I would like with the dual form so may maybe I will try nail tips
demi hiscoe Girl me too
Great tips , thank you for sharing . I consider buying a begging polygel kit and your advises helped me a lot. Thank you
😘💯 new subscriber definitely needed to know all these things before I purchased my kit
Wow I didn’t know tht I though any dual form should be okay but u showed me this video n explained what s wrong and right thank you for tutoring me I wish u re my teacher 👩🏫
but how much is enough :( how do you know when you've not put enough polygel in the dualfill
I think it just depends on how long you want your nail but I could be wrong /:
Ikr .
This is my issue!
I’m GOING too do this today ! Wish me luck after a week getting my nails in shape after metalworking.
Why it's remove so easily... and don't stay for just one day why?? What I should do??
this video is just what i needed. i got some dual forms recently and two bottles of polygel and they haven’t exactly been going well…
When I apply the "base coat" the nail ALWAYS lift entirely after a couple days. Now I'm trying to just apply primer and it's working better, but I still think I'm doing it wrong
I saw 70% alcohol and not primer on a different video. She said it worked better for her. I haven't done the nails yet. I'm watching different videos to see which one I'd like to follow.
If it works for you then its right! LOL
What I've learned from all these videos is that there is absolutely not a one size fits all method for nail prep lol
This is awesome! I just started getting into polygel and have had so many issues. These videos help so much!!!
You are so welcome!
Your milk bath nails are extremely pretty!
Thank you :)
I’m not a professional, and I’ve made all these mistakes in the past. :(
but during COVID19, it’s been fun doing my nails and learning from my mistakes. :)
Great video Anastasia, very informative for new dual form users. I still prefer the dual tips. Thanx so much for sharing that!
XO Luna 💅🏻💅🏻
Thank you Luna! Do you use dual tips with deep curve or regular ones?
Nailcou I use the ones with deep curve, I purchased the ones you had on your video. Best investment I’ve made!
XO Luna
Oh I see. Yes, those are awesome!
I have the first dual forms you mentioned. I thought I did something wrong, but my nails have a natural intense curve so it makes sense that the forms are popping off or too straight once they come to the extension part. I filed down the bulk from underneath versus the top so it has a very odd shape right now.
I'm also going to get a neon set of polygel to get a better idea of where the gel is going, and so I don't grind down to the nail plate itself. It's hard for me to tell where the gel ends and my nail begins.
This is a great video am going to do my first polygel set today.
Wish me all the best.
Your accent was kinda satisfying ngl 😂👍
Love how she says apex. Reminds me of Lithuanian accent
Just did polygel nails on myself for the first time. Its a little thick and dusty but i love them 😊
I've got to find me some new forms!!
Thank you.... Our nail shop are open but it still good to know how to do your own. I love UA-cam especially your videos, fan for life ♥️
I just want to grow my own original nails 🥺

I was sure she would be one

She's Russian. Lol
Like gru
The modelones is too curved I practiced and when taking a couple off there was literally a gap between my mail and the form. My nail beds are flat and those forms are too curved and the first ones I just order to try
This is all wrong
I am learning to use polygel and some dont's to mention is that not enough product or thin application will give you air bubbles. To avoid air bubbles make sure the product is not too spread to thin. Another don't is if you use too much liquid it will not cure properly and will slide away from the nail bed.
You are a great teacher and have a beautiful voice!
I so need this video. I had an epic fail 2 tries yesterday 😢
This is the perfect video and answers many questions I was needing answers to.
Great video !please make one with a refill with dual forms!!!
Honestly best tutorial I’ve seen yet! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing these tips. I have not used poly gels yet and this video is very helpful.
