MakarttPoly Nail Gel Kit: 6 Clear Pink White Colors Gel Builder for Gel Nail Extension Set, Long Lasting Hard Gel for Nails Strengther, All in one Nail Thickening Solution Salon Home French Manicure

The media could not be loaded. *cracks knuckles* buckle up for an unnecessarily long but hopefully very thorough & helpful review.1. This kit doesn't include absolutely everything you need in order to due your nails. Separately, you'll need to buy: a uv/led lamp & a slip solution. For the uv/led lamp, there’s many great options on here which is where I got mine. As for the slip solution, you can buy them online or you can just use rubbing alcohol like I do (it works the exact same & most people already have this in their house).2. There’s definitely a learning curve, don’t be disappointed or upset if your first set isn’t perfect! I got this kit at the beginning of February (about 6 months ago) and I still have a LONGGG way to go.3. Definitely try out the dual forms that are included in the kit, but if those don’t work out for you then try paper forms or tips. The dual forms are amazing for getting a super smooth top, however I had a lot of trouble with them when it came to polygel oozing our near my cuticles or at the tip of my finger. The dual forms while making the tops of my nails extremely smooth and glossy, made the undersides of my nails sooo thick & bumpy (even if I would smooth them out before curing). I’ve learned that I can somewhat use the dual forms to create ‘tips’ by putting the tiniest/thinnest amount of polygel in the forms, curing it, and then applying more polygel on top like you would with the other 2 methods.Paper forms are great for getting a super smooth underside but you made get a bumpier top of the nail. While having the top of my nails be bumpy is still annoying, I very much prefer it compared to a bumpy underside because with my drill I can fix them no problem. Basically it’s easier for me to file the top of my nails as opposed to the underside of them.Plastic tips and glue are probably the easiest option when it comes to actually putting on the polygel, however I just haven’t gotten around to buying any yet. With tips, they’re similar to paper forms because you’ll get the very smooth bottom but possibly a bumpy top. With tips you can already have set shapes which makes them that much easier because with dual or paper forms, you often have to create the shapes yourself.No matter what option you choose, they all have different pros and cons. Definitely try out and utilize the dual forms that come with this kit, but if they’re really hard for you (Like they were for me) then don’t be afraid to try paper forms or plastic tips. Don’t be afraid to experiment or even combine different options to find what works best for you.4. For me, it's much easier to just squeeze out and apply the polygel directly where I want it, instead of squeezing the polygel out onto the brush/spatula and then applying it to where I want. I find that because polygel is so sticky, the less surfaces it comes in contact with, the easier it is to spread and work with.5. Other items that you don’t need but make it a lot easier & more convenient to do your nails include: a nail drill/e file, lint free wipes, more nail files, cuticle pusher/trimmer, primer, and dehydrator. Having a dish for the slip solution & paper towels under your hands to collect dust or to the side to wipe your brush on are very helpful.Buying items not included in the kit is unnecessary but definitely worth it! For example, the drill/e file is a game changer. I got one off of here for like $20 from melodysusie (I think?). You definitely don’t need it (the file you get in this kit will work just fine until it wears down) but it makes a huge difference when shaping the nails & getting the bumps out on top of or underneath the nails. Not only will drill help to make your nails look even greater, but it'll also make the process of doing your nails so much easier and faster.Other unnecessary items (more for fun design elements) that you may want to purchase in the future include: rhinestones, fine & chunky glitters, holo powders, & gel polishes. Again all of these things are unnecessary and don't really have anything to do with this kit, but I think this might be nice advice for beginners to have.6. 'Natural Pink' is BY FAR my favorite color in this kit (it's the shade of all of my sets in the pictures and video). It's the perfect nude color for me, someone who has pretty fair skin. I loved it so much that I used up the whole tube from this kit and ended up buying the large tube of it. I think that all of these colors would look beautiful with any skin tones! The 'Clear' and 'Misty Rose' are great if you want to . have jelly nails. The 'Clear' is also amazing to cap any designs, glitters, etc. If you have gel polishes (once again not necessary) you can even mix them into the polygels to make custom colors or just apply the gel polishes on top of your already cured polygel nails.I hope this was somewhat helpful to people who are interested in this kit. Like I said, there's definitely a learning curve but it's so fun doing your nails and very rewarding to see yourself grow and get better at doing them!

I received this product last night and I have not been able to stop playing with it. OK so I have the worst Nails anyone could ever have they are tiny and brittle and in order for them to look Decent I always have to get acrylics done. now because they are so tiny and Brittle it’s always so painful when I get to the salon and get my nails done not just that it always doesn’t turn out like I want it. It hurts like hell when shaping my nails at the salon or even cleaning it or just getting a simple manicure. Not to mention because they are so tiny the acrylics don’t even hold onto all my nails. at least one Nail comes off within a week and more than that or all of them within two weeks.I feel so unattractive without fake nails and I get so much confidence from having beautiful nails. The colors in this kit are so beautiful that they make my nails look natural and healthy and beautiful and it takes literally less than 15 minutes to do them all by myself. The colors in this kit are so beautiful that they make my nails look natural and healthy and beautiful and it takes literally less than 15 minutes do you do them all by myself. now I have only had them on for for a Day but I will update as weeks go by as to how long they last. But you know what, even if they last me two days I am totally fine with doing it every other day doing my nails every other day because first it is so relaxing to do it with this kit and second it takes such a short time it is totally worth it for the look you get. I have read some reviews that say that the GEl is really thick and tacky and hard to manipulate around the trick to that is to use isopropyl alcohol . Although not many reviews talk about that over here but I saw that on YouTube and that is a very important step to do that is to move the gel around on the form With the alcohol. Then you go ahead and put it on your finger and place it int then you go ahead and place it into the LED for 90 seconds and you are done. This is seriously life-changing for me I really don’t really like to write reviews but when something is so significant and make such a difference in your life you kind of owe it to write a review. Besides things included in this kit you really needed the alcohol and the LED light. Just buy the alcohol from a dollar store and get a cheap LED light on Amazon that’s all you need. The base that is included with this kit really helps the nail to stick to the nailbed and it does a great job on my nails that don’t even like adhering to acrylic So the base is a really important step and do not skip it. I do not know how I did not know about poly gel’s for so long because they have been out for a while. well I am glad I accidentally stumbled upon them while looking for Nail Tips and now my life has changed forever and I will never go to a salon again or buy nail tips again because none of it last on my fingers or even looks good. So here’s to my future pain free and beautiful nails all year long

Tiny ass tubes lol ! But I love the product ! Very easy to use the white one is a lot thicker than other ones !
