how i create an apex with polygel + shaping 💅🏽💖

2024/10/9 Edited to

... Read morePolygel nails have taken the beauty industry by storm, combining the easy application of acrylics with the lightness of gels. When shaping your nails, achieving the apex—a curved area at the top of the nail—is crucial for both aesthetics and strength. To start, prepare your nail bed by cleaning and buffing. Apply your base layer, ensuring it adheres well to the natural nail. Then, using a brush and polygel, sculpt the apex, focusing on a smooth and even distribution of product. As you work with polygel, remember to use slip solution to make it easier to shape. For beginners, practicing with a practice hand or nail tips can offer the chance to refine your technique without the pressure of perfecting it on natural nails. The coquette blush polygel, specially designed to elevate your nail art, combines elegance with durability, ensuring your stunning nails last. Lastly, once you've shaped the apex, cure the nails under UV light as recommended. Finish with a top coat for added shine and protection. With these tips, you can confidently create beautiful polygel nails at home!

the best brush to use for polygel nails!🖌️💅
🧚🏽 medium polygel brush and polygels available on my shop site doperthanyournails.com 🧚🏽 one of the main reasons beginners struggle with polygel nails is because of the super small brush most polygel kits come with. investing in a bigger brush makes application much easier and faster!💅 #nails
