Beetles Poly Nail Extension Gel Kit, 4 Colors Pink White Poly Nail Gel Builder Sheer Pink Nail Gel Clear Nail Art Kit with Poly Brush & Slip Solution Nail Salon All In 1 Kit Gift for Women

I found out about poly gel nails from TikTok videos. For months, I thought about trying it out. Since I was stuck in quarantine I decided to look the product up in more depth. I reviewed a plethora of different brands (went down so many rabbit holes, sheesh) and watched a few tutorial videos. I decided it was best to go with this one for a few reasons.Here are 10 NEED TO KNOW TIPS:1. Almost ALL products are gonna have at least one bad review (probs more if it has more reviews). This one was the best one to me and I’m glad I picked it.2. If you aren’t a professional then it’s gonna take PRACTICE. Don’t think you can just become a doctor by watching Grey's Anatomy... c’mon now.3. It was easy to use compared to actual acrylic and not sticky if you use the correct solution.4. I bought my own UV/LED nail light on amazon for like $19.5. I also bought my own primer (ITS NEEDED) & I used a 70% Alcohol solution to help shape/mold the gel.6. Start off with shorter nails FIRST. Don’t get cocky your first time and try to do some long stiletto nails when you haven’t even figured out everything.7. Prep your nails before anything. Prep. Prep. Prep. That means, wash ya nasty hands, dry off, file/shape/trim, push back or trim cuticles, file your whole nail gently (the whole nail people), buff a little, and add your primer or dehydrator. DO IT. IT MAKES THEM LAST LONGER. Help get your moneys worth.8. Speaking of lasting longer... Don’t glob a lot of gel on at first! You should start off small and add more if needed- don’t be wasteful.9. Also, make sure to not press too hard on the nail forms to decrease any spillage or bubbles (clean around the cuticle area with alcohol dampened brush to remove excess).9. Follow the instructions Aka: apply base coat, cure under lamp 30-60 sec, apply poly gel with brush that is slightly dampened with alcohol solution, shape gel, cure for 90-130 sec (better safe than sorry, so cure them long), then WIPE OFF with a cotton ball that has rubbing alcohol on it to get rid of the stickiness, shape/file the whole nail even if the shininess is tempting to keep (this is important), apply top coat evenly, cure again for a long time, wipe off again with alcohol, apply cuticle oil, and boom you’re done.I hope this can at least help one person. I love it and everything came perfectly packaged. The colors are great, file works wonderfully, brush/applicator is nice quality, nail forms fit my nails, and came with a lot of them. The tubes are “small” to some people, but if you use my tips on not being wasteful and how to make them last long then you’ll be fine. Goodluck!!

The media could not be loaded. I was spending $75+ dollars every 2 weeks at a nail salon. I am an artist by nature and found I could do a better job myself and save the money. My nails look natural and not fake which is very important to me. Plus the hybrid gel is easy to apply (do thin coats) and doesn't crack; it's strong. Love it.

My first time trying polygel! Loved this set, and they feel stronger and healthier than Acrylics. Though I’d recommend using paper forms or applying polygel over tips than using the dual forms it comes with.Pros: easy to work with and fix mistakes, great coverage, good shade range, multi useCons: incredibly sticky, in squeeze tubes and not pots, time consuming until you practice enough to get faster

I've been doing my own nails for almost two years now. I taught myself through hundreds of hours of videos online. I waited some time before writing this review. Poly gel takes time to learn the technique. This product stands the test of time, with proper technique. The kit comes with everything you need, although I messed up and didn't buy the one with dual forms. I've had my mani on for over a week and still holding on. I used dip powder on top of my polygel extensions. Would recommend this product.

The kit was packaged well and contained nice sizes of gel, base, and top coat. The brush was beautiful and seemed to be good quality for the money. I have used he Beetles base and top coat before so I knew I liked them. This is my first ever poly gel kit and I am not a professional nail tech. I did attempt to do several nails and thought it seemed easy and loved the idea. Since I don't have experience with any other gels I really can't speak to the gel it's self or compare it to others. It seemed easy enough to work with. I used the dual forms that came with the kit and I think that was where my problem was. I filled the form with gel and applied it to my nail, I had to press down to keep it from popping up and when I pressed down, everything oozed out. I let go to clean it up and they lifted off my nail again. I had to hold them down while putting my hand in the light. I was so preoccupied by trying to keep them on that I forgot to check under the nail.... what a mess-and I cured it that way (sigh). The forms seemed very narrow and I felt like the "C" curve was excessive,maybe a stiletto style, but what do I know? Well- I do know I didn't like the way they looked so I stopped with one hand, tried to clean up everything under the nail and cut them back. I did not attempt the second hand. If the kit had come with paper forms I would have given it another try with those. Because I found the dual forms provided, difficult to work with, I decided to return it. The issues I had with the dual forms may have been my lack of experience so take that into consideration when you read my review. I think the poly gel, top coat, base coat and the tools provided with the kit were great. The dual forms are my reason for 3 stars.
