Give yourself plenty of time when you start this. It’s pretty simple once you get the hang of it, how to spread the gel, how much you need for each nail all that jazz. It definitely takes some getting used to but I’ve done my own acrylic before many years ago and I can tell you there is much more margin for error with this kit. Just don’t go into this thinking it’s going to be as simple as the TikTok videos make it seem. 😊
First off I am very impressed because I was thinking this was going to be really difficult and I'd mess it up and be screwed for a while but it was actually way more straightforward and easier than I expected. They seem sturdy so far like acrylic nails, done dishes and typing and hasn't come off or chipped if you apply it correctly (don't forget to use the base or it will come right off). Easy enough to file down once set. Was super excited to find something I can do at home that normally costs $50+ at a salon. I can see it becoming even more easy the more I do it too.
As an absolute beginner, this takes me about about an hour to do a full set. I have found my nails last longer if I squeeze the gel directly on my nail and use the form to press it into place, rather than brushing it directly into the forms. I get a week before they start lifting. That's pretty good as I'm super rough on my nails.
I am not a nail tech. I’m not very good at stuff like this and I have shaky hands but these came out so good!! And this is only my second time using poly gel! They are as hard as acrylic, nobody “accidentally” cut me with a drill or nail file, and I didn’t have to pay $60 for crappy nails. I will NEVER go back to a nail salon!
