Dual Forms Over Tips, Polygel Nail HAck

[@Tastykake83]

And a tip for anyone about gold foil (or even glitter in dual forms)...pick your thickest clear base coat or top coat and paint a generous layer (but not enough to create pooling) and lay the foil or glitter how u want. Then cure it in the form. THEN go ahead on top of that with your poly gel and build the nail how you want before laying on your finger. The foil or glitter wont budge and will be perfectly set on top of the nail under a thin coat of top or base coat when you remove the form.

[@vicsnailtips]

Thank you for this tip. Curing in the foil would've been so much easier than hoping it would stay in place ahahah 💓

[@Tastykake83]

Oh I know lol I did it like that many times before I learned the other way and started curing it in a layer of top or base coat first. It just was one of those "duh, of course!" Moments for me. Lmao so I get it lol

[@jessecalopez8677]

Thank you I needed this❤️

[@tyasianettles1633]

I've been doing them this way since I started using polygel, I love it

[@vicsnailtips]

A couple people have said this! Its so new to me but so many of you are experienced in it!! I love it lol, its such a great method 💜

[@LauraLeaB]

Same here !! It just seemed like the right thing to do ... I didnt think it was a hack or even know of the lazy girl method.

[@zahriivoorhees3498]

Yeah this is genius so glad I come across this

[@christinabiggers1972]

How long does it last on

[@marcijones2807]

How long does the set usually last

[@weekendnomad5038]

You have to rough up the tips before applying polygel on top if not it can end up separating but I think it’ll adhere easier if you take off the shine . I had them separate with the lazy girl method from not removing the shine

[@lissacheek5710]

You are brilliant! You literally saved my birthday nails! I tried it with just the dual form and almost lost hope. Thank you!🙏🏼

[@vicsnailtips]

OMG glad I could help! Especially your birthday nails, thanks for sharing with me! 💕

[@leahhayes8256]

I’m very new to this and researching for a few days I thought of this way but never seen anyone actually do it until I came across this video!!! Thank you ☺️

[@katrinasheets2997]

Girl you did your thing transforming those nails after taking off the dual forms! It definitely makes the back look a lot better for those that use dual forms. I love the design! The white marble looks like clouds and goes so perfectly with the gold glitter and butterflies! And gold definitely suits you! Very pretty! Can't wait for tomorrow's video!!

[@vicsnailtips]

Ahh thank you, they went through some serious work to fix the shape lol. The marble was so incredibly easy to do but looks so complex!! They really do look like clouds, I didn't even think of that haha. Cant wait for you to see tomorrow's video 💜

[@levt2156]

Great idea to use tips with dual forms! Going to try for sure!

[@dippedbysheknails8107]

I use to this when i first started because when i used the dual forms the nail always broke at the apex. This way made it so much better. Thanks for sharing.

[@vicsnailtips]

I agree, this was makes it so all the product doesn't spill over, losing product in the apex area!! Thanks for commenting, glad you enjoyed 😊

[@InChakkaITrust]

Thank you!! They came out very nice and I’m going to try it. I’ve been wondering if it could be done

[@LeopardessMoon01]

I use clear nail forms under dual form to keep the underside neat. I apply the basecoat to connect the nailform and cure. Then apply the dual form over that. You don't have to worry about the tip shape that way

[@vicsnailtips]

That's a really good idea to use clear forms underneath! Thanks for this tip, I'll definitely have to try that out sometime soon ☺️ 💕

[@plantylady]

You use the base to temporarily adhere it so it won’t slip?

[@vicsnailtips]

Yes, Im pretty sure and also to create the length of the extension. At least that’s how I understood 😊

[@ten8e3]

I just learned the lazy girl method and it's not bad. Super excited to try this method.

You can also use the original method with the dual forms for the nice underside .. the structure forms/ nail forms sticker that you build on top of. So when you combined them it’s perfect on both the top and bottom.

[@vicsnailtips]

Thank you so much 😊

[@BobaSweetT]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I’ve done poly gel only a few times now. First I tried using my full cover tips in place of the dual forms but they started breaking in a few days and the underside was a bulky mess. Then I tried again and they broke. Then I tried my regular tips and they still ended up breaking I guess bc I didn’t put enough glue to keep the tips on. I also wasn’t happy with the shape on the top. So I was wondering if this method would work and wanted to see before I go through the trouble of trying again. I assume my problem is just that I’m learning but I also feel like I want to try another brand. Right now I’m using Morovan. I will definitely be trying this method next.

[@yasssgawwwd5643]

I would have scratched out the tip to allow the gel to adhere to the tip better:)

Yess, such a great tip! I usually do this when I want my sets to last long. I only wore this set for a couple day so I skipped that step this time hahahah 😆

Yess I think everyone should try this method at least once 🧡

[@ula3568]

This works very well. But I found the same thing happens to me, the gel gets squished out at the sides. It's probably just the fact that there's a surface underneath and we use a little bit too much. All the same, it cleans up very well :)

[@vicsnailtips]

Yes you're so right! It definitely had to be the tip underneath and it's so hard to figure out how much product to use. Im sure it gets better with practice. thanks for this comment 😊

[@Cothe1Co]

I thought about this done it before you released this video. Mine left a gap between the nail form and tip. Think i need to use the form for flat nail beds

[@vicsnailtips]

My pointer finger did the same thing, I wouldve mentioned it but it noticed it after I filmed. I definitely needed more product toward the tip for that one. But I agree, using forms instead of tips might be better for flat nail beds since tips are typically curved!!
