Modelones 133pcs Poly Extension Gel Nail Kit, 32 Colors All Seasons Poly Gel kit with Nail Forms Lamp Slip Solution Builder Thickening Manicure Tools for Starter Salon DIY

Love this product. Modelones is such an OG polygel nail brand that I haven't used since 2019-2020, I've been experimenting with other brands. I would say just make sure your working in a cool setting, if the room is too warm it becomes a little harder to work with as does most polygels. IF THIS POLYGEL DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: they always advertise polygel as an easier medium to work with for beginners, which it can be but the methods are not for lasting results: dual forms. It takes practice on top of practice to master dual forms. It also takes basic nail knowledge, knowing where to form your apex, how to seal a cuticle and how far from, the skin do you start to build nail, and proper prep. I prefer using nail tips and building my own nail like am acrylic set. Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance, you need to buff and clean natural nails, dehydrate the nail using a dehydrator or alcohol, PRIME the nail using a primer, i prefer to prime one hand at a time because when i get to the other hand its normally too dry and i do about 2 coats of primer. Then a light layer of base coat. ALSO the little lamps that comes with these kit are not strong enough to fully cure the nail, you need a Full sized lamp idc how dry and hard that nail feels. I say cure from 90sec-120 for a fulllll cure. The little lamps are good for a few things like gel glue, maybe gel polish , I normally use to flash cure before moving on to next nail so things don't move around. Don't blame the product, please do your research on building a proper nail and application.My application could be better but I'm 8 months preg, this is the best it's gonna get with my big Ole belly 😂

This is my first time using poly gel and I love it! I have very thin and brittle nails thanks to hypothyroidism so I normally get dip manicures at the salon but in an effort to save money I decided to start doing them at home. I couldn’t find any dip kits that were easy and made it look like they were done at a salon—it was easy to tell they were done at home. Regular gel was still not firm enough for my weak nails but I did some research and decided to try poly gel. I did buy a more powerful UV lamp, so I didn’t try the one in this kit but the poly gel looks amazing. The first time I made a few mistakes so they popped off easily but I watched a few YouTube videos for tips and tricks and this was my second try. It’s so easy! It did take me a long time but only because I’m a perfectionist. Highly recommend this kit if you’re a beginner, and remember to use cuticle oil daily!

They aren’t perfect but I think they look so good for this being my first ever experience with polygel. The kit comes with everything but a drill. I was nervous about the lamp because every video I watched about starter kits like this one, they always suggest getting a bigger lamp. I had no problems curing the gels with this lamp tho. I cure the tops for one min then I flip my hand over and cure the underside of my nails for one min and that did the job for me. There are so many colors to choose from too! It also comes with a clear gel. I was surprised and super happy about that lol The tubes are small but you get enough and you don’t need to use a whole lot anyways so they will last a little while. Especially since theres so many different colors to choose from! I love that they include little stars and gemstones and other things to decorate. They also include the glue for them gems as well! I also like that they include in the instructions how to remove the polygel. Heads-up… You will need a drill to file down the polygel quite a bit, then soak them off. As far as the application goes, it’s a bit tricky at first with the dual forms. The trick is to not use too much gel. I also had trouble with the underside flooding. I think not using too much polygel can help with that too. The point is that there is definitely a learning curve lol it took me about 2 hours but I know the more I do it and get the hang of it and master my technique, the faster it will be. I’ve only had the gel on for a day but so far they seem pretty sturdy. No chipping or lifting yet lol if I can get at least a week out of this set, my expectations will be far beyond exceeded. I thoroughly enjoyed doing my nails with this kit. I LOVEEEE MY NAILSSS!!!! 10/10 would highly highly recommend.

The kit works well but it is a bit mess and hard to use the first couple times. I found it most difficult to keep the layers even and move the product around to get them even and there was little instruction on how to do that properly. I wish it came with a couple more clips so I could do more fingers at the same time. The light provided works, but I found that one with an opening on one side and lights down the side works better for the product. With the light provided, you will need to cure them longer than mentioned and I recommend flipping them to make sure they are fully cured before doing anything else. The polish bottles for the base and whatnot are tiny so be mindful of that but overall nice colors and a good amount of product for the price.
