This is such a great tip for people with very short natural nails to prevent the acrylic or gel from adhering to the finger tip!

[@theraweggfiles]

I've been watching your vids for a few weeks now, and I am so inspired by you. I even got into buying polygel to learn how to do my own gels at home. I gotta say, I really suck at this right now. My first attempt had all the polygel oozing out from under the dual forms like a bad memory. My second attempt I tried using the nail form stickers, and my first nail came out like Frankenstein's foot. It took me hours to file it down to a semi-human-looking nail. I'm the kind of person who never quits til I get it right, so this is officially a new journey for me. One filled with mutant nails that, truthfully, should be registered as weapons, and globs of polygel all over my fingers, my towel, my desk, etc. What am I doing wrong? It looks so much easier when someone else is doing it. Anyway, sorry for the rant, but I'm in need of help. You're awesome!

[@dovesong4jc]

I guess I'm old school LOL I LOVE the CURVE....so pretty. Love watching you and learning about everything NAILS....Your voice is SO perfect for teaching :-) Thank you.

[@JoTownley]

I use full cover tips as dual forms, I put a very little amount of cuticle oil in it before I put the poly gel in to help the tips come off easier. I will definitely have to try the paper forms for underneath the nails!

I am a newbie at polygel. I use dual forms and yes was having issues with undersides not being pretty… I bought round white tips… not full cover. Glued them on, used dual forms over them… once I filed back to the edge of the tip they look amazing!! I still use paper forms under the glued on tips… might not be correct, but I absolutely love how they look!

[@notanotherfuckingnikki]

Remember everyone: when putting product in full cover tips if you want them to come off make sure you don't use any cleanser and use alcohol very sparingly just to keep your brush from sticking and keep it away from the fake nail because it is what "melts" the plastic a little & your full cover tips may end up curing to the product

[@msmayhem2817]

Thank you I was struggling a bit with removing the full cover tips.

[@pammymusic4ever]

I had an epic fail removing a full cover tip. Is there a specific tip you have to use for this to work? Plastic or gel? I am actually quite good at smoothing the bottom with my efile.

[@beverleyr2625]

Suzie, I am so glad you've just done this video as last Sunday I used forms for the very first time! I used your Button forms and, as expected, for my first attempt it was a little bit fiddly but I managed to do 10 not bad looking nails. However, the undersides of the odd one or two were a bit bumpy and a little bit too thick in places and I thought 🤔 I wonder if Suzie has done a video showing what to do in this situation and here it is - you're a mind reader! Thanks Suzie ❤

[@NailCareerEducation]

[@beverleyr2625]

@@NailCareerEducation Just wanted to add Suzie that those long, curved tips you showed at the start of this video reminded me of American singer Barry White's wife back in the 1970's - apparently they grew really long, 8" and curved just like those tips! My Mum commented at the time that it must be hard for her to do her everyday housework with nails that long! 🤔

Can you do this method with your acrylic system?

I live for these videos! Question- how does this work with applying in layers? Do you just apply it thinly in the form? When I’ve tried extensions with a poppit they always crumble. Am I just doing it too thickly?

[@RegisteredNurseL.A.]

Thank you for this. My natural nails aren’t long enough to fit a form under. I don’t bite them. They just don’t grow very fast and they’re thin, so I guess I’ll try the filing underneath method. Wish me luck!

Good idea. Reuse the forms though, that costs if your tossing and using dual forms. Now i wonder if that idea would work for hard gels.

Yeah, I use a small efile and smooth it out, then smooth again with a layer of matte top coat.

[@ellameditation8377]

Underside dual forms work a treat for smooth undersides.

[@melbround1]

I have even taken a second poppit of the next size down and used it under the nail.

[@InvisibleRen]

Is smoothing the bottom with the brush (with the form/tip still on) as the last step before curing not enough?

[@roband2000]

How long do you cure the poppit? ID out the regular time or less?

[@AmysExquisiteGifts]

Is it recommended to clip the natural nail to make it shorter before using the pop it/nail form? The reason I ask is because my nail curves and leaves a space between the polygel and the nail tip. So I add poly gel and sort of press it down into the gap to fill the gap. Should I just clip my nail to avoid that?
