I love this kit it’s so beautiful it was my first time doing gel nails at first didn’t like that the plastic extension were too curvy but they turn out to be perfect shape, I love how the vendor send you instructions and a little book with questions and answers they take their customer satisfaction seriously. They are really not that hard to do and the gel cures pretty fast I used a led lamp. I have only used the dark pink color so far but I can tell despite the containers been small they bring a lot of product plus you have 6 of them so it’s good. The nails feels reynatural I’m not used to have long nails and they are not uncomfortable at all. Im updating a picture of my nails just remember I’m not a nail technician and this was my first time lol

I had to leave a review about this polygel set! Having never done this before, I think my nails turned out beautifully!!! A few things to keep in mind... it can be messy, so keep plenty of isopropyl alcohol on hand. Next, filing will be your best friend. It is pretty easy to shape the nails and thank goodness because when I took the forms off, the nail shape was a hot, wobbly mess. Lastly, watching a few YouTube videos is extremely helpful... That being said, this isn't rocket science!! With practice, you'll never step foot in a nail salon again. ...Or maybe that's just me.

First I picked my appropriate size dual form (you will need some space for the product and make sure it covers from side to side) then prepped my nails. I buffed, primed with primer I already had from my many dip powder kits, then applied Protein Bond that I already had (but never really made an impact on my dip powder nails). I haven't tried these without it yet so I'm not sure if this really is essential. Then applied the base to one hand. I used alcohol 91% as my slip solution to make the product manageable. I dipped the spatula tool in alcohol, grabbed some product and placed into the dual form. I then dipped the brush into the alcohol and went to spreading out the polygel. I used more of a tapping method that I saw in the videos which works better. It is very sticky but nothing too crazy with the alcohol, not sure why that's a main reason for some bad reviews. The alcohol makes the product easier to handle. I made the cuticle area a little thinner than the rest of it, cured on half heat for 90 seconds and voila! Beautiful nails! Once finished I applied the top coat and cured.

The Makartt polygel kit is a pretty great kit. I was doing my own dip powder nails for a while, mainly because I didn't know I could do this type of nail extension. My nails kept lifting by my cuticle within a few days and by a week I'd have to redo them. It didn't matter how well I prepped my nails, I literally tried everything and tons of different kits. I just didn't like the outcome and was never super happy with the results, they were always lumpy and had to file a lot to get them all smooth, and not as strong as the polygel. A friend of mine got her gel nails done at a nail salon and explained the process, I thought I can do that! So I first turned to YouTube to watch videos which were very helpful then ordered this kit. I successfully had a full 2 weeks no lifting whatsoever and probably could go longer but I lost a gem stone and got sick of the color I picked so I did a fill. What a life changer!!

So I was naturally very unsure of this product.. it seemed way to good to be true. I now really like this product. I have tried builder gels and all types of acrylics but it all just took to long, I needed something fast and really easy to use. It was a little hard figuring out the bead size for each nail but eventually I got it. I used it for the first time today and I love my nails. All the colors were exactly as advertised, the names throw you off but they are shown correctly in the pictures. It's really cool to use with my younger sister too, she was so interested in learning how to use this stuff and I think I now have a new friend to do my nails with. I'm really happy I went with this product. Also upon reading some of the bad reviews I have gone to the conclusion that they either didn't follow the instructions and missed a step or they messed up the curing time. This product it too easy to use and to good to have any problems with it.

After doing my own nails and learned from what I see on YouTube videos I decided to give the Polygel a tried . So . I went ahead and came across this product after seen all the good reviews I ordered same day delivery. Went to YouTube tutorials and a decided to try French note: this is my first time ever doing Polygel . I must say it took me 3 hrs lol.. it gets messy and sticky but I was determined to do it and came out alright but it is a matter of practice and practice to become a PRO... I definitely recommend!

This product is great! I received the kit on July 12th and immediately did my nails. I have never been able to use the sticker forms due to sweaty hands so I wanted to get this a try and I must say it's better than dealing with acrylics. I used the the clear and no problems with lifting at all. I did have 2 nails break where my natural ends but that may be from me not applying the product thick enough or pushing down too hard with the form. One suggestion is to try any other color than the clear for your first time. I used the clear and used more product than I needed. The colors allow you to shape the nail better in the nail forms. I also used a dehydrator and primer before I used the forms. I'm pretty rough with my hands and this has lasted for 12days and going. This is the first time I have used a polygel product. The acrylics I had been using would have lifted by now. The pic is 12days old and I used gel polish on top. I did do some filing around the cuticles and shaping the edges of the nail. Other than that everything else was smooth. Will definitely buy again.

I can definitely say that this product works I was a little shocked at how small the tubes were but I'm still happy with the quality. It was my first time doing my nails in general and I feel like this kit made it so easy

This product is AMAZING! It comes with 6 tubes of polygel which based on my estimates will each last 4 uses to do 4 full sets of nails so you’re paying like 45$ to get 24 sets of nails that don’t chip for weeks! I’ve convinced several of my friends over to using this too after they complemented my nails. Don’t get my wrong tho there is def a learning curve but here’s some things I learned
1. It doesn’t come with a lamp, dehydrator, or enough files so order them separately(you can use rubbing alcohol above 70% for the dehydrator)
2. When using the file to smooth surface of nails, always use the smoother side of the file to prevent leaving scratches on ur polygel
3. You will 100% overestimate how much polygel you need to use at first, but I promise you don’t need to make it very thick
4. Don’t use the clear your first time as it is too hard to see how thick you are making it
5. Make the polygel thinner at the base of your nail so it doesn’t raise up a lot because that can make it lift easier as it grows out which you don’t want
