Trying A Polygel Kit from AliExpress | It was very interesting... & kinda hilarious

Very beautiful. Buying cheaper sets does make you appreciate spending a little more but I still goes for an in between price. I love when sets are on sale and coupons!!

[@vicsnailtips]

Thank you 😊 I absolutely agree, it definitely made me miss my amazon polygel brands lol. And always try to buy during on sales or with coupon codes!!!!

[@seriousbeautyexpert317]

Do you use full tips under the polygel just for your preference ? A lot of other videos I’ve seen them use it to apply the gel and pop the form off after it’s cured?

[@vicsnailtips]

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy this video (I recommend watching it in 1080p). It's a long one and a little chaotic but definitely worth the watch. I can't wait to see what your thoughts are on it. I'll be responding to everyone :) PS: I would love feedback on my question @ 21:02

why would you put polygel over the plastic modelons, shouldnt it go under it so you can remove the forms later?

[@unicornoarcobaleno6111]

i’ve bought this set yesterday and i’m seeing this video now😭, how was your experience with the kit after a year?

[@WakeyWakeyEggsandBakey]

It looked like the file was stopping because it wasn't locked in place. I wonder if you either really had to push it hard into place or if that gold part was meant to be screwed round more. Hard to believe they can get away with selling something that doesn't work on even the most basic level regardless of how cheap it is. Also I was looking for beginner sets on amazon and the description for the lamp said to make sure to use an a2 adapter. That's for the uk so idk what the equivalent would be for the US. I'm guessing it is an energy issue that the lamp didn't work because the USB just isnt powerful enough but I'm scratching my head as to why they'd include one in that case lol.

Biggest notes to take from this is try getting a more professional lamp and nail drill. Also If you don't like stiff polygels this probably ain't for you!

[@nameie82]

Awesome video, I'm so glad I found this enjoyed watching😊. I almost brought this exact set from the same store from Ali express last week but I ended up going with a slightly different kit from another store. But I'm so glad that I did buy a more powerful lamp from amazon at the same time, I am slightly gutted about the drill I was looking forward to using it, but I suppose you get what you pay for really😂🤷‍♀️. Now I got to buy a better drill too 😞😂

[@vicsnailtips]

Thank you, i glad you liked the video 🥰 you were definitely on to something when you bought a lamp from amazon. I would definitely trust amazon tools more than aliexpress lol!!! But I hope you have a better exper with the drill than I did, you just might 😊💕

[@michellemelville8979]

The polygel application in the first set of swatches was quite thick to be honest.

[@IloveSituandbob]

Wish we could have seen the way you did the French tips.

[@youtubelikes1579]

I have the same nail drill but i got it a store for 8,99$ and your supposed to take of the metal part on the top and put your tool in that and then screw it back in and it wont move, it works okay for a beginner and it doesn't do that type of trouble at me

[@annabustos243]

Slip solution is alcohol… better say

[@katrinasheets2997]

Ohhhhhh girl......that kit seems like a whole lot of hassle! In this case I'm gonna say quantity doesn't equate to quality. I bought one of those hand drills a few years back when I started doing my own nails and NEVER AGAIN! The vibration was so strong and uncomfortable and I burned myself several times on it. Yours kept turning off because the bit wasn't all the way locked, but half the time it doesn't lock and it's just a feat of magic when it does LOL! In my experience all those $20 or less drills are the same. Save yourself money and just get something decent off the bat. I paid about $50-$60 on Amazon for the drill I have now, and I actually really like it. I've been using it constantly for 2 years with no issues. It's super smooth with no uncomfortable vibration, it's strong, it has forward and reverse, and you can use a foot petal if you want with it. The brand is Madenia. When this dies I'll get the Melody Susie or Kiara Sky drills that are rechargeable, but for now I just can't justify it since this one works so well. Anyway I absolutely love your thorough reviews and product knowledge. I can always tell you take the time to research things such as RPM's and why and how something should work or be done, and you're not just making things up as you go LOL!!!!!

[@vicsnailtips]

Yes the kit was so problematic! That’s a good way to put it... quanity doesnt always equate to quality. Anything geared towards beginners should definitely be of quality and easy to use since they already have their lack of experience to work against! & when it comes to drills, i agree that you shouldnt cut corners. Its one of those things where you get what you pay for. I love that you shared your drill and your experience with it so others have some direction when getting a drill. My next drill will be the kiara sky drill. I almost bought it two days ago but wasnt ready to fork up $300+ 😭. And thank you for always commenting, I look forward to them. They’re always so kind ❤️

[@katrinasheets2997]

@@vicsnailtips absolutely agree with you! Beginners should definitely NOT start out with a super inexpensive drill like that.....way too dangerous especially when trying to learn how to use it. I really want the Kiara Sky cordless drill too! But like you I just haven't convinced myself to spend that much when the one I have works so well. I just finished removing an old set a few minutes ago and I it only took a few minutes, so for now I'll keep using it. Oh you're so sweet and I'm so glad my crazy comments don't bug you! ❤❤❤❤

@@АнжелаОганесян-ч4у I'm so sorry but I can't answer this question as I've never used this brand. But because Vic had so many issues with this particular kit, I probably wouldn't recommend it.
