What is polygel?
Polygel is a hybrid product that combines the properties of acrylic and gel, offering a unique solution for those looking for a strong yet flexible coating. This material has the flexibility of acrylic and the hardness of gel. Polygel contains a mix of acrylic powder and gel, forming a viscous substance of medium thickness that is easy to work with. It has a medium-firm consistency and does not spread when applied to the nails.
Polygel makes it easy to extend, repair, and strengthen nails. A special liquid for polygel is required for application, which allows for easy shaping and forming of polygel when the brush is moistened.
How to use polygel?
Using polygel involves several key steps to ensure a successful and long-lasting manicure. Applying polygel requires precision and care for optimal results. First, prepare the nail plate - clean, dehydrate, degrease, and apply a primer. Then, apply a thin base layer and cure it under a UV or LED lamp. Apply polygel to the nail using a brush, special tool, or orange stick. Use a liquid designed for polygel to prevent sticking to the tool and facilitate application.
The key to this process is to apply it evenly to avoid lumps or uneven coverage. Once the desired shape is achieved, cure the nails under the lamp. After curing, the polygel can be filed to give the nails the desired length, shape, and smoothness. Use a buff to even out the nail surface before applying a colored coating.
Advantages of using polygel
Polygel has several advantages:
- Dense consistency: Unlike liquid gels, it does not spread to the sides or under the cuticle and retains its shape.
- Quick curing time: Polygel cures in 60 seconds under an LED lamp and 120 seconds under a UV lamp.
- Minimal filing needed: Polygel can be smoothly evened out.
- Convenient for beginners.
Can polygel be used on natural nails?
Yes, polygel can be used on short nails. It is an excellent solution for strengthening short nails, providing them with additional strength. Due to its versatility, polygel can be used on nails of any length and shape.
