YOU WONT BELEIVE THIS | $2 Polygel vs $40 Polygel | Tutorial |Affordable Nail Products|

Let's see if price really matters when it comes to polygel. I'm comparing a $40 polygel to 4 others affordable polygels that range from $1.25 to $12. Which do you think will come out on top?
I honestly am surprised by my thoughts on this one. I have been using the IBD control gel for quite some time and it has always been one of my favorite polygels, if not my most favorite and it was absolutely blown out of the water by a polygel that only cost $2.50 (Bevinas took the cake). This just goes to show that you don't have to drop a ton of money on expensive nail products to get really good quality in my opinion. And this is awesome because it means anyone with any budget, big or small can have products that will let them have beautiful nails.
Let me know which color you like the best and what your thoughts are on today's video down in the comments or if you just want to say hello! I respond to all comments. Also, let me know if you have any questions about things or if you have any constructive criticism, that is always welcomed and appreciated here.
I want to say THANK YOU to all of you for spending your time with me today and for being such amazing, beautiful people. I am so lucky to get to spend my time interacting with all of you gorgeous MFers! You all make my days better than they already are and I am so grateful for each and every single one of you. As always, guys, hopefully I'll catch you in the next one!
Xoxo,
Haley

[@Lil2Treeza]

Thanks for sharing this video. You say cheap but I say cost accessible! I’ve gotten a little disheartened by a lot of nail content creators lately as their content is heavy on high end products. Their fun to watch but not in my cost accessibility era at all😅. But I love your blunt honesty a freaking lot also amuses me when you drop a f bomb😂😂😂. This for being you.

[@HaleyDawn85]

Cost accessible is a way better aay to say it! I like the sound of that lol. I absolutely understand that. I'm a cheap skate 90% of the time so it works out for both of us 😉 I tried not cussing and it was torture lol. I figure if I let one slip it is what it is haha. Thank you so much for these kinds words also. You are amazing, I love ya and I appreciate you so much. I hope you have an amazing weekend! Xoxo 😘

[@RaggieGirl8542]

You honesty should have way more subscribers cause you are amazing at nails and the knowledge you share is soo good. I've heard you explain things way better than other creators. Thankyou for everything. Also who cares if you drop a f bomb or something occasionally... You're being yourself and people appreciate that, well i do 😊

[@HaleyDawn85]

I can't help myself with the cuss words. I love them, lol. They express things so well, haha. Thank you for saying such amazing things, and I'm so glad I can help make things work better or help with making things make more sense and be easier to understand. That's the whole point! 😀 you are beautiful, and I appreciate you so much, babe. Have the best weekend ever! Xoxo

[@marykeharms3299]

Thank you for comparing these. I fully agree expensive doesn't always mean better. ❤

[@HaleyDawn85]

Yes! It absolutely doesn't. It was fun doing these because, honestly, I was going into this thinking IBD was going to come out on top. I had a little bias because it's been one of my favorite polygels for a while, lol. But the bevinas and makartt blew it out of the water 😆 it's fun when something like that happens and especially when it's so affordable, lol. Youbare amazing and I appreciate you so much Mary. Love ya tons. Xoxo

[@mariahjane7969]

My biggest issue when it comes to polygel or even acrylic is that I want to learn how to correctly form them into a beautiful shape. I've been playing with every kind of nail product for 5 years now, but I have given up because I'm a perfectionist, and it's difficult to create a shape I can see is not uniform. Well, I've not given up. I'm just looking for the answers to what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for always giving us good explanations on technique. I think it's the stickiness of the polygel that happens when I'm trying to form a nice, sleek shape. It isn't beautifully shaped like your nails. Your nails are beautiful and perfect!

[@HaleyDawn85]

I completely understand the frustration for sure. With polygel, I use 91% isopropyl alcohol and I find that really helps with stickiness. Also, a good brush helps, too. I prefer a stiff brush, especially for polygels. When I'm forming whatever product I'm using, I try to get the basic shape down and then clean up with filing. I do the opposite of what most people tell you to do, lol. I don't stress so much on application because I know with filing, I can fix anything and make any shape nice and crisp. The firmer polygels also don't stick to brushes hardly at all, and you really want to wet your brush in your slip solution a lot more than you think. You always want your brush to be wet because if it's not, the bristles are pulling the gel into the brush, and then the product sticks. It's kind of the same with acrylic, too. Thank you for spending your time with me, Mariah. You are beautiful, and I appreciate you so much. Love ya, girl. Xoxo

[@RobinPreece-lg5lk]

I’m working so it is what it is this weekend. I’m pretty new to doing my own acrylic and polygel but I do like paper form because they fit nicer and I can make them long or short. I’ve only been using acrylic for 6-7 months so I am still learning a lot.

[@HaleyDawn85]

I only did forms for a very long time. Well, that's not true but MOST of the time. It's faster for me than applying tips and filing them and all of that. I share the love of paper forms with you 😀 that's awesome you've been doing it for 7 months now. It's only going to get easier and easier for you. You are beautiful and I appreciate you a ton. Xoxo

[@barbjalcorn]

You see, I love Polygel! When someone like yourself goes into the application with everything she has, doesn’t rush and is constantly thinking of the end result; this is what you get. Flawless nails that look like they’ve been professionally done and are sexy, slender & beautiful. Well done 👍 ❤️🇦🇺

[@HaleyDawn85]

I love polygel, too. It's second below acrylic. I tend to grab polygel right now because it is quicker and easier for others to use too. Thank you for saying such awesome things, Barb! Sexy, slender, and sleek nails are my jam! I love that you appreciate things like that 😉 thank you for spending your time with me. I appreciate you so much.

Hello you beautiful MFer!! 😍 I think you will like polygel a lot. I suggest when first learning to go with a firm polygel so it's not running all over and making things frustrating.

Hi Haley! I don't do polygels yet. I have played with them. The heat from my hands well let's just say it can get messy near my cuticle. So glad you did this video. I have learned so much. Thank you so much! Oh I'd be upset to pay that much for something it does that. 😱🤬 Thank you! You are amazing teacher. 💜💜💜🤗

[@HaleyDawn85]

Oh girl, I totally understand things getting messy, lol. That's why I keep it away from my cuticles until last. Then I can place it, and BAM cure it, lol. I'm so glad I can help make things a little easier for you. Yeah. I was pissed about that, lol. 😤 and of course, I didn't have another pot that is UV proof, so I cured it closed, haha. Pfttt.

[@Fire-Rabbit87]

I'm back! 😊 Great video! I 100% agree, inexpensive nail products can be just as good. I'll admit, I'm a cheapskate too! Most of my gel polishes are Amazon "cheap" brands, but I've never had a problem with them. My question for you is: what inexpensive dust collector do you recommend that works well? My lack of a dust collector is really the only thing that has stopped me from using polygel much.

[@HaleyDawn85]

Hey girl, heyyyyy!! Thanks for coming back! I used to be one of those who was heavy into name brands but as the years have gone by and more and more things have come out I've switched a lot of my stuff over to more affordable things. For the most part, they will give you the same result, and in some cases, like this, one better results lol. Soooo about the dust collector... I have a couple of different ones, BUT the one I've been using the most is the little teadybear one that was in my last haul video. It's not the quietest, but none of them really are. But the power this little thing has is soooo good. It's not cordless, but that doesn't bother me either, and for $25, it's worth every penny and more to me, honestly. There's a little clip in this video of it also. If you're looking for a cordless one, I highly recommend the L'UGX rechargeable ones, but they're on the spendy side. I hope this helps! Love ya tons, and thanks again for coming back! Xoxo

It’s a no brained..if it works the same, for half the cost, why would you pay for the name. I feel sometimes the manufacturers are the same and they just put the name brand label on and charge more! Thank you so much Haley! 💜 love you tons!

[@HaleyDawn85]

I loooove you! Yes, exactly. Save some money! Whoop whoop, lol. There are some things definitely worth paying the money for, but I feel the same as you. A lot of things are produced in the same place, just labeled differently or made somewhere else but have the same exact ingredients.

This is a great video and great info for everyone dude. 40 bucks is insane but sometimes paying that when the products are really top notch i think is good but yes def when u have a higer priced one that is exactly the same as a lower priced one...we going for that lower priced one! 😂 ive never tried the IBD polygel lmao i never knew they made polygel either 😆

[@HaleyDawn85]

$40 is high but I can say that the IBD polygel is very beautiful and hasn't failed me over the years but I am SHOCKED at how much more I like the Bevinas when I use it next to the IBD. The consistency of the Bevinas is beautiful, and you get 2 2.3oz tubes for $5. Wtf. It's so good. The IBD has been one of my favorite polygels, if not my favorite, for quite some time. It's kind of cool to find something that is super comparable that is sooo much less. Well, to find a few that are comparable that are a lot more affordable, actually. I hope you're having a good day. I appreciate you and love yo face! Xoxo

@RobinPreece-lg5lk Yes, I absolutely do! I hope you like the Bevinas as much as I do. Let me know what you think of it if you end up getting it 😀 I used to do paper forms a lot, probably like 80% of the time but now that I'm doing videos, I try to cut down things that take a little more time for others to do and try to show easy ways to do things. A lot of people have a hard time with forms, but it's one of my favorite ways to do acrylic and polygel. I love using paper forms. I hope you're having a beautiful weekend so far.

[@HaleyDawn85]

I do primer because sometimes I don't buff, and it fills in the markings from filing, and I find it really helps with my topcoat not chipping at all. I've done it for a long time. Sometimes, I do it after I buff, too, because of how smooth the surface is. Sometimes, top coats will chip. Hopefully, that makes sense, lol. I will link the top coat I used here for you! This one is VERY good.

That Ibd gel is 7 or 8 euros on Amazon. I love how stiff it is. Now I think about it I haven't seen it for a while and I stocked up. The colour natural is great for French it's THE most natural polygel/gel I have ever seen. I hope it's not gone from Amazon here I've never seen it anywhere else. For me it's not expensive but 40$ seems a bit much. It is great though.
