Build Apex W. Polygel 3/3

I continue to smooth Polygel to the tip of nails with my brush & dip in alcohol as needed. Always remember to leave brush damp after soaking in alcohol. If you don’t, your Polygel will flood cuticles & become too runny to control. You can always build a nice apex to your nails even when using Polygel. Everyone has a preference on thickness & I usually go for thinner to make nails look more natural. When done right, Polygel last just as long as acrylic, it’s easier to file & u don’t get the monomer smell 🙌🏻😌. Watch my previous videos to see how I get here & any question leave in comments I’ll be answering as soon as I get back on! Hope u guys enjoy all videos & watch my next post for the nail design i created on this finish set!🎃🩸 #beginnernailtech #polygelnailtech #NailArt #eclassdollnails #spookyseason

... Read morePolygel application is a growing trend among nail enthusiasts for its versatility and ease of use. Understanding the nuances of Polygel can greatly improve your results. When applying Polygel, it’s crucial to keep the brush damp to prevent product from becoming too runny, which can lead to messy cuticles. The thickness of the application can vary based on personal preference, but a thinner application often mimics a more natural nail appearance. This technique is not only about aesthetics; it also ensures durability, allowing Polygel to last as long as traditional acrylic nails without the pungent odors associated with monomer. Additionally, many users appreciate how easily Polygel can be filed and shaped, permitting creative freedom in nail art. For those interested in exploring this, it’s beneficial to watch tutorial videos that demonstrate effective methods for Polygel application, giving insight into achieving the desired finish. Engage with the community through the hashtags #beginnernailtech and #polygelnailtech to exchange ideas and gain further advice on perfecting your nail designs this spooky season with added flair!

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
