Beautiful darling, looks stunning, well done!

[@tzuamourshihtzu9871]

Ive Never seen polygel in pots before but I’m betting it’s easier to control the product this way 🤔 beautiful finish

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you! I definitely liked working with them out of the pot, also ensures you get every last drop of product!

[@HealthtoBeautyNails]

So gorgeous! Beautiful work. Would love a video about your filming setup. Your videos are always up close with great clarity!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

One of my top favorite nail extension products!!! I’m glad someone is finally featuring it. Magpie has amazing products love them!!! 💕

[@krissynddd8642]

This is soooo beautiful. I agree that babyboomers are hard to do with gel but this polygel made it look sooo easy. The glitter poly gel is gorgeous, TFS.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you! It definitely made it easier 🙌🏻

[@misshunneebunnie]

This is GORGEOUS!!!!! I only use hard gel but to recreate this I will be getting these exact products and just deal with the learning curve!

Great video! well presented and informative. Keep up the good work!!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Much appreciated!

[@courtneycotten1488]

You did a fantastic job!!!

I've used Tones™ and Gelish™, but I love the sparkle already mixed in.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

It is really nice! ✨

[@KarenRodriguez-dc2ph]

looks beautiful I've started doing polygels when Gelish came out with their line I really like them for certain clients They seem to last longer and be more durable for them, but I am also a gel girl I don't do acrylics

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Same! I haven’t touched acrylics in many years

[@MelaniesManicures]

Thanks for the video. I just found this brand which is available in the US and they have hema free products as well so I’m super excited to try. I really love how you don’t edit out your trial and errors, because it’s nice for beginners to see what the process is. It’s not going to be perfect our first try. Beautiful job! 💗

[@MCGus2018]

🥰 Thank you I’m going to order this.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

You’re welcome 😊

[@sherrywatson7347]

So so so pretty! 💗✨ I’m ordering that sparkle pink right now! 🤭

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you 😊💕

It’s so gorgeous!! You’ll love it

[@tashamachele9592]

I really wish I could use theie polygel, I love the consistency

[@anaritabranca3838]

Hi There!! I 'm just passing by and i realised that i can't stop watching your videos!! You look so nice!! :D And you give the best tips! The things you say, i needed to see a bunch of other videos to get an idea, and boom! You just said it so well! Love your work, keep going! You are amazing!! Portugal love here!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Wow thank you so much! 💖

[@aussiemummy2676]

I use hard gel too and doing baby boomers on myself is time consuming. I guess after practice it would be heaps quicker with the polygel products. I have never used them but I may just give them a go. Can you let us know how they wore on your nails in regards to lifting.. Thanks as always for sharing your knowledge with us. 🌸🐨🌸

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Just an update! I’ve had very minimal lifting, and the little bit of lifting I do have was most likely my fault because I got a little to close to the skin in some areas as I was getting used to the product. ☺️ thank you for watching! ❤️

[@kathykov1]

Katie, this makes me want to buy polygel, again. I gave it away the first time. To be honest I think I would only use it for the French ombre. Thank you for the great tips 💜

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Haha! I was very impressed and I agree, if someone wanted a French ombré this would be my go-to because of how easy it was 🙌🏻

[@kathykov1]

@@NailsByKatieDutra since this was your first try, how long to you think it took you to achieve this beautiful result? Did you do all 10? If so did it get faster with each nail that you did?

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I did do all 10 but I don’t think that’s a good time representation because it always takes me way longer to do my own nails lol. I haven’t done it on an actual client yet.

[@kathykov1]

@@NailsByKatieDutra yeah... You're right 😂💜

[@evyvanm]

Gorgeous!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you 💕💕

[@HBW497]

Beautiful!

[@WatchTashi]

I live in Colorado and we have Magpies everywhere. This packaging make them seem like sweet little birdies. They’re not…they’re big, super smart and a bit aggressive. Especially if you have food. 😂

[@maggiehoward7020]

Love it xx

[@JofromItaly]

You don't need enhancements. Your natural nails are lovely.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you, I like having my nails done so I can have color and designs that last for weeks and I don't have to worry about them. :)

[@lindat1879]

Turned out so nicely 🙂. If you dip the spatula in the liquid first then the gel the gel won't stick to it 👍

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

That makes sense! Thank you for the tip! 👏🏻

[@KathyMcDowell1]

Great demo nail sister💋

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thank you! It was fun to play with 😊

[@kristinaleonov4811]

Do you have video about how to file polygel nails? As I can see, your nails are perfectly shaped and filed as well!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

This is the only video I have about polygel but some of my watch me work videos show me filing gel. The filing process would be the same for both ☺️

[@kristinaleonov4811]

@@NailsByKatieDutra thanks! 😊

[@krisiev1]

I need to try this brand. I’ve used Artistic Nail and Gelish. I really don’t like either of those because their polygel is so thick I have a hard time squeezing out of the tube and pressing it on the nail. This Magpie looks easier to work with.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I’ve never used those but I understand what you mean. This definitely was a different consistency! I love that it has some self-leveling properties.

[@mlisnaglar]

Great video! I have used a couple of other brands of polygels ( I am also a gelgirl!) and it sure isn`t as easy as It looks. You did amazing! My first time wasn`t near that good and absolutely not in front of a camera.... 📸 I got so inspired I think I am going to sit down in my nailcorner right now to get on with the polygel again🤪🙈💖

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Haha i definitely need some practice still, doing 1 nail is a little easier than all 10 🤣

[@kymbrookes7413]

Loved this video! You’ve made me want to crack out my polygels again! How did you find it lasted? Did it wear well? 💅🏻💕☺️

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Yes! I had it on for 4+ weeks, no issues

[@karencarlos3942]

I know I'm late to the party, but just thought I'd put in my 2 cents... Remember that the slip solution is only to wet the brush enough to prevent the gel from sticking to it. You don't have to go back into it each time like you would with acrylic. Think moist and not wet. The solution won't change the consistency or cure-ability of the polygel, but over flooding the cuticle could contribute to lifting. You have naturally beautiful nails and this is no exception!

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Yes I definitely used too much liquid! After using it a little more I’ve got a better idea on how to use it. 😄

[@salimag2370]

Great Video Katie. I found it highly educational & informative. I am willing to try but can anyone purchase this product? Is available in Canada? As well, can you do more educational videos on products that are easily accessible to non-licensed techs. Thank you and stay safe. Happy Holidays Katie.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

Thanks for watching! Most of the products I use in the salon are pro only, however you could definitely use these tips and techniques and apply them to other brand of polygel. I appreciate your feedback! ❤️

[@pennyvestina2908]

Your nail looks beautiful! I tried to go on magpie's website. Unfortunately, you had to have your nail license to purchase their polygel. People like me who do our own nails at home we don't even have the ability to buy this polygel. It makes me sad because it looks amazing.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

You can definitely still use this technique and tips for other brands of polygel! 😊

[@pennyvestina2908]

@@NailsByKatieDutra Oh absolutely! I'm just sad that we can't get this polygel It looks so nice!

[@kristinaleonov4811]

You can purchase on AliExpress, cheap but of good quality as well, specially if you do your nails on your own.

[@TheShawna78]

Poly gel seems like it would be the easiest way to do this look.

[@nailsdeb]

I find white gels don’t cure. Tried em all.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

I’ve never had that problem, it could be your lamp

[@mrsthomas718]

that's a hybrid gel...polygel is brand name of hybrid gel

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

That may be correct but I still wouldn’t call it a “hybrid gel” as that is what CND calls their Shellac so that could be confusing for some. Most people know polygel or acrygel

[@amandahilburn8949]

Gorgeous nails. But these are called hard gels not polygel. They are basically the same but polygel have more acrylic and are much stiffer. There many companies that call there products polygel when in turn there are just hard gel.

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

All polygels are a gel, they just have acrylic powder in them to make them thicker and paste like. This is definitely much thicker than a regular hard gel. They actually call theirs an Acrygel.

[@nakeasimone13]

Is this brand a soak off or file off

[@NailsByKatieDutra]

The polygel is file off but they have other products that are soak off

[@michellelambel7365]

Beautiful!!

Thanks Michelle! ❤️
