PolyGel overlay on Natural Nails

[@tamaradevault9333]

Once my natural nails grew out a little, I used the polygel just on my natural nails, they are now getting longer without using the forms, its easy to use, I have gotten better each time I do my nails. I am 75 years old and really did not like having other people do my nails, I have arthritis and its uncomfortable, especially the filing. I really enjoy doing them myself.

Been using Polygel overlay on my nails since April. LOVE IT! No lifting & feels completely natural.

Where did you get it? Thinking to buy one

[@TiaCSmith-cb4ot]

is it true that all you have to use before applying poly gel to natural nail is the primer?

What liquid do you use for your brush to make the poly gel movable or formable

Can you do a refill with it?

[@shannonlyvers3238]

I was stunned at how easy it is to use, even with my off hand. I will play with it a little more to get the hang of how thick or thin I want it, but I am in love so far.

[@Pumpkins.4U]

I did my first overlay today and I am in love. Topped it with gel polish. My natural nails have never had such a beautiful shape. Thanks for all your videos!

[@audreeabbott595]

I do a lot of overlays with poly gel. Faster easier and stronger than regular gel. Even my clients who are tough on their nails prefer the poly gel. Love that it's strong and doesn't lift, even with a super thin overlay. It really does look sooo natural! I tend to use the clear pink for the really natural look. -CatSassNailCreations

this is a great video, straight to the point, descriptive and makes the steps very simple, thank you!

[@shakeuwakeu1480]

Thanks for the video! This reminds me of acrylic application minus the product drying too fast before you can make it smooth and ruining the brush in the same time. BTW i'm talking about my own self when i tried using acrylic without any training or experience LOL. This looks like the perfect substitute!

[@robinlewis3958]

I'm so glad you showed how to do. I need to build mine longer.

[@tammier7508]

Hopefully I can get my hands on some polygel...it seems PERFECT for me! Thanks for sharing 😉

[@lisckacobonez8205]

i have been using this "trick" for almost a year now and i just love this technique. and also - it is so easy to fill in after the nails are growing!! just love it, love it, love it. easy and fun.

How do you fill them in?

[@Moon_Child_Star]

I think this will save a lot of time and it’s easier then acrylic with monomer. Thank you for this tutorial 💕🌻

[@lauraintheskywithdiamonds9185]

Just tried it today and I love it on my natural nails 🥰

[@michelleburney5464]

Thank you so much for showing this because I’m just starting to get into doing my nails at home and I wanted to do more of my natural nail, but I didn’t want to put the acrylic on it so I’m gonna try poly gel and I just received my poly kit from Temu so I will be starting it today. That’s why I’m looking at tutorials to see how to do it.

[@josiebeanie223]

I’m just trying this product for the first time today. I did one nail with just overlay, one adding a little shape and very little length without a form, and one with a form, just to see how I’d do. You make it look so easy!! I’m sure with practice I’ll get better, but wow- so talented! I love all of your videos! xo

[@charmainelambert3117]

You're so beautiful and talented!! I love watching your videos!! And love listening to you talk lol I could listen to your accent all day long 🙂

[@alylouuu]

This looks like REALLY a good polygel to work with!

[@mariellefaye]

I have just got into gel polishes and still learning to do polygel. I tried using dual forms but still couldn't perfect the thickness, though i liked how the nail was shaped (my thumb has a very flat nail bed/plate) but preferred my natural nail still (with a little more strength). I'll definitely try this. I had an even harder time using builder gel so this is perfect. Thank you!

[@mygeorge1951]

Hola Anastasia, So I finally worked up the courage to try Polygel. My first try was a disaster. My 2nd try I did a lot better! Thanks to your inspiration and for this wonderful tutorial! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Lucy Ricardo 🎄

Thank you , Lucy! Marry Christmas

I’ve been using builder gel overlay for years. I found a poly gel kit for $5 and I can’t wait to use it. I will probably practice on my daughter.

[@abaterehobot8533]

@@2sealed so which one is better builder gel or poly gel

[@2sealed]

@@abaterehobot8533 I like poly gel better because it stays in place but not as easy to use. Now I found builder gel in a bottle and it’s wonderful and so easy to use. I found it on eBay.

[@beifiori9598]

Thank you for making this vid - I'm totally going to try this. I have been getting acrylic, gel, and dip powder overlays and there is an issue with each approach, so going to try the poly gel myself and see how it goes. My natural nails don't get very long before breaking or tearing off so I have to overlay them with something so they can get a little longer and stronger.

[@julianareschini1208]

Hello, Anastasia. I recently started using it for kapping since the product that is used regularly to do it dripped off the edges, on the other hand with the polygel I can better control the amount I apply and I can take it as far as I want, since its consistency is better . It looks great and the final work is neater. Thanks, as always, for your videos.

[@ladymaguire]

Thank you so much. I have been really wanting to try this but was worried I would mess it up but your video explained it so well I think I can do it. I'm going to go to order my products right now.

[@jesusismypresident6221]

Thank you so much for your help! Now I know for sure I can buy polygel I have been doing for a while with the store brand but I want to switch to professional grade as my technique has actually really surpassed that level! So again thank you for your help and have a wonderful weekend!!!

Before applying poly gel, do u add base coat on natural nails first?

[@ANONIE47]

An overlay helps to strengthen the natural nail. Polygel is also available in colors if wanted. Only one layer of polygel is needed for an overlay, compared with several layers of liquid builder gel. Hope it helps 🙂 .

[@vandamourah]

Olá, amei esta super dica... Muito obrigada!

[@amandaomezi7492]

I’m going to try this technique. For some reason when I do extensions longer than my nails, there is no lifting and it’s very strong but when I do an overlay on my natural nail, they just fall off. Ended up using builder gel to strengthen the nails rather than poly gel but I’ll try again

[@rubyreyes5992]

I think this product is very nice. May be for Christmas. Than you for your videos I love them.

Pamela Kruger-Bezuidenhoudt you can use this with a nail form to build a longer nail, or just let the gel overhang a tiny bit to free form a bit of extra length. It works great!

[@glendapark1474]

I recently purchased polygel and have used it a few times. It's taken a little practice but I do enjoy it so far. I was wondering if you've tried encapsulating glitter with this product or do you think it's too cloudy. Maybe you could try it in a tutorial. Thank you for your helpful tips.

[@Nailcou]

Glenda, I tried encapsulating the holo tape and yes, it seemed to cloudy to me. But I think it should work with glitter. Will definitely share when I try :)

[@glendapark1474]

Yes I think it's too cloudy as well. I used it to extend my length but put a hard clear gel over my glitter. I think I'm going to try curing it for a couple of seconds to imprint netting for the scale or snakeskin effect. Thanks.

[@reha965]

Glenda Park YES I have been waiting for a video on encapsulating with poly gel

[@reha965]

Glenda Park it’s just so annoying that if you want encapsulated your art work you have to use a thick gel or acrylic, too many products was hoping to use the poly gel and be done with the rest 😤

[@glendapark1474]

Re Ha I agree. To many products to get one look that can be done simply with hard gel or acrylic. It does say 'natural clear ' but I was hoping that as a hybrid of sorts it would be the best of both worlds but the more I've used it I know I probably won't repurchase. I like how it applies but it's only good to build the nail. No fun glitter designs.

[@sovanndaily9194]

Great Job. Please Keep going Further

[@trippsstar]

When it grows out do u go as normal and file cuticle and all that, and just do a fill with the poly gel ? Does this product soak off or do you have to file it off?

[@Nailcou]

Jess, yes, the infill is the same as with acrylic and gel. You need to file it off like hard gel to remove

I'm curious about trying it myself I was getting my nails done with dip powder it made them really strong I find the problem is extremely difficult to get the polish off it took like hours and almost entire bottle of acetone at the moment the nail salons are closed and I'm curious about poly gel with the forms to add some length to my nails they were long, but have broken since all this covid had to trim after 4 nails broke ugh missing my salon I'll get through this and learn how to do my nails myself and just go for a pedicure lol

[@DIAMONDGIRL57]

Ummmmm. I wonder if you can place a nail form over the polygel overlay. I am thinking to use the overlay to strengthen my natural nails under the polygel nail form. That way I can tell when I removed the polygel nail form, I don’t file my natural nails too thin. What do you think?

[@denagustafson6070]

You can definitely put a nail form over the poly gel. That’s exactly how I’ve done it and it works a treat! The only issue I have is that my natural nails tend to break or, at least, thin when I remove the product. I hope you have better luck!

Hey great video! I liked the look i don’t think you meant to actually create of a bigger nail crescent however, i do think if you are going to do that you do need to smooth off any jaged product around the sides to make it sharper.

I didn't apply base coat, I just buffed the surface, remove dust and apply color and I have this nail in perfect condition untill today :) It is about 3 weeks. And another question is - after primer it is better to apply base gel or gel polish base coat, and after that polygel? Or it is really not necessary?

Do a good nail prep, buff the nail, apply base, apply polygel and cure. Buff and apply on top whatever you want, either color or just top coat.
