polygel

Pros:

  • Strength and Durability : Polygel combines the best properties of acrylics and hard gels, offering strong and long-lasting nail enhancements.
  • Lightweight : Despite its strength, Polygel is lighter than traditional acrylics, providing comfort for the wearer.
  • Odorless : Unlike acrylics, Polygel is typically odorless, making it more pleasant to work with.
  • Flexible Application : Polygel allows for versatile application techniques, from sculpting extensions to creating overlays on natural nails.
  • Self-Leveling : Polygel is self-leveling, reducing the effort needed to achieve a smooth and even surface.
  • Reduced Dust : Filing Polygel produces less dust than acrylics, contributing to a cleaner workspace.
  • Curing Control : It doesn't harden until cured under a UV or LED lamp, giving you ample time to shape and perfect the nail.

Cons:

    1. Removal Process : Polygel can be difficult to remove, often requiring soaking or filing, which can potentially damage natural nails if not done properly.
    2. Skill Level Required : While it’s easier than some other methods, proper application of Polygel still requires practice and skill to avoid lumps or uneven surfaces.
    3. Curing Time : Requires a UV or LED lamp to cure, which adds an additional step and time to the manicure process.
    4. Maintenance : Polygel nails may require regular maintenance and refills as the natural nails grow out.
    5. Heat Sensitivity : Some users might experience a heat spike (a sensation of heat) during the curing process, which can be uncomfortable.

How to apply our Polygels

Step 1 File your nails

This helps smooth any ragged edges so you start with a smooth surface that enhances lasting power.


Step 2 Choose the dual or nail forms that fit your fingers

This is an optional step, as you can also overlay the polygel on natural nails. If you do use a dual form, your kit will likely come with different sizes. Some shapes are curvier or flatter than others, but try to match the form with your nail accordingly. "For a more natural nail look, match the dual form to the nail bed and cuticle line,” Gonzalez-Longstaff advises.


Step 3 Apply your base coat and cure it under the UV LED light

The amount of time underneath the light will depend on your kit, but a good rule of thumb is 60 seconds.


Step 4 Dip your brush in the included slip/alcohol-based solution

This is an important step, as it allows you to move the polygel around on the dual form (or natural nail) without the gel excessively sticking to the brush.

Squeeze polygel on the dual form or nail. Using your brush, spread the polygel on the dual form evenly and sculpt it into the desired shape.

If using a dual form, press the polygel coated dual form on your nail to adhere.

 

Step 5 Cure your nails underneath the UV LED light to set the polygel

Remove the dual form after curing so it can form the shape 😊.


Step 5 Cut, file and shape your nails to your desired look

 

Step 6 Top coat

Apply the top coat and cure your nails under the LED light one last time.

How to Safely Remove Nail Reserve Polygels: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you've been loving the durability and shine of Nail Reserve polygels but are ready for a change or simply need a refresh, knowing how to properly remove them is crucial. Improper removal can lead to damaged nails and unnecessary frustration. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you safely and effectively remove your polygel nails at home.


What You’ll Need:

- Nail file (100/180 grit)

- Nail buffer

- Nail Reserve Remover

- Cuticle pusher or orange stick

- Nail Reserve Cuticle oil

- Moisturizing hand cream

- Small bowl (optional)

- Nail clippers


Step-by-Step Removal Process:

Step 1: Trim and File Down

Trim the Length: Use nail clippers to trim your polygel nails as short as possible. This will make the removal process quicker and easier.

File the Surface: Using a coarse nail file (100/180 grit), gently file the top layer of the polygel. This step is essential to break the seal and allow the acetone to penetrate more effectively.


Step 2: Apply Nail Reserve Remover

Wait: Allow your nails to soak for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 3: Remove the Polygel

Check the Progress: After 10-15 minutes, check one nail by gently pushing the polygel with a cuticle pusher or an orange stick. The polygel should come off easily.

Gently Push Off: Carefully push the softened polygel off each nail. Be gentle to avoid damaging the natural nail underneath.


Step 4: Clean Up and Buff

Buff Your Nails: Once the polygel is removed, use a nail buffer to smooth out the surface of your natural nails. This will remove any residual product and leave your nails smooth.

Shape Your Nails: Use a fine nail file to shape your nails as desired.


Step 5: Moisturize and Care

Hydrate Your Cuticles: Apply our cuticle oil to each nail and gently massage it in to nourish the cuticles and surrounding skin.

Moisturize Your Hands: Finish by applying a rich hand cream to keep your hands soft and hydrated.

Tips for a Healthier Nail Removal Process


Avoid Force: Never force the polygel off your nails. This can cause severe damage to your natural nails.

Take Your Time: Patience is key. Rushing the process can lead to mistakes and potential injury.

Nail Health: After removal, give your nails a break before applying a new set. This will allow them to recover and maintain their strength.
