Makartt Poly Nail Gel Kit: 6 Nude Colors Solid Builder 15ML for Poly Extension Enhancement Set with Slip Solution Base Top Coat Dual Forms All in One Hard Gels for Nails Starter Supplies Kit

Literally the best thing since sliced bread. I used to go get my nails done every three weeks. Now I can have a salon quality mani in my own home for a complete fraction of the cost. I love the color variety this brand has to offer. Easy for beginners to use. The small bottles have a decent amount, but depending on how thick you put it on or how long your nails are, if you are new to this, it might take a little more product. Great quality, and this is how I will do my nails for the rest of my life. Not even exaggerating. I love bragging about the product and process to my friends since I get compliments non-stop. Plus, as a teacher whose hands are mainly looked at, it's nice to have a nice mani done!

My first time doing fake nails and this product made it so easy! You have to prep you nails properly or else they will lift, I had no problems with cracking. It came with everything it said and overall the functionality of it was great! The variety was nice, but I did order other colors.

This is a total life changer, ladies! I got tired of acrylic... it takes forever to file manually and it smells! Polygel has no smell... but my favorite part is when you pop off the dual form and its perfectly shaped with a flawless shine! All you have to do is shape the edges. The Makarrtt band is nice... my only complaint is that the gel is not deeply pigmented. I used the dark pink and it's still light in color and somewhat translucent. The other colors are so light they are almost clear.. and the kit doesn't come with the slip solution.... thats my only complaint and why I'm giving 4 stars... but I used rubbing alcohol for a slip solution, which worked just fine. I REALLY hope this brand will sell individual tubes of all the colors! I would love to see mauves, nudes, and browns! Here's a few tips I have: 1: Watch YouTube tutorials! It will help a lot! 2: Take the extra time to fully prep your nails! Trim cuticles, trim, file, and clean under your nails. Remove the shine by lightly buffing the nail surface with a file. Clean with rubbing alcohol and then use a nail dehydrator solution to remove oils. The better you prep, the better chance you'll have of preventing lifting and making your new polygel last a long time! 3: After you cure the base coat in your LED/UV nail lamp (or any gel polish and polygel), there will be a sticky layer. This might confuse you thinking that the gel is still wet or hasn't cured. You have to remove that with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball or swab. This will also reveal the shine! And don't forget the underside! 4: Put enough gel in the form to create thickness and strength. The thickness should be about the same as when you get acrylics done at the salon. The thinner your polygel layer, the weaker they'll be. But also, don't go TOO thick because your nail LED/UV light won't cure it all the way through. 5: after I place my dual form on my nail, I carefully form the underside just a bit because the gel moves after you put it on. Use a light hand because the nail form can move around easily. 6: DON'T press the dual form too much onto your nail! Product will squeeze out of the side and things will get messy! Use light pressure, just enough to know that the gel has fully made contact with your natural nail! Do not put the form directly against the cuticles! There should be a tiny space in between. 7: Have fun with it and be creative! Polygel is unique and there are so many cute ideas on Pintrest! If this is completely new for you, expect this to take several hours! My nails in my pics was the very first time I did polygel! I spent almost all day doing them but that's because I took a lot of breaks and mom life lol... doing my kids online schooling.. cooking.. cleaning... but I think it would've taken probably 2 hours straight without interruption. Anyway, in my opinion, polygel is KING... and acrylic is the peasant. They're just as strong but so much prettier and easier to do than acrylic!

The Makartt polygel kit is a pretty great kit. I was doing my own dip powder nails for a while, mainly because I didn't know I could do this type of nail extension. My nails kept lifting by my cuticle within a few days and by a week I'd have to redo them. It didn't matter how well I prepped my nails, I literally tried everything and tons of different kits. I just didn't like the outcome and was never super happy with the results, they were always lumpy and had to file a lot to get them all smooth, and not as strong as the polygel. A friend of mine got her gel nails done at a nail salon and explained the process, I thought I can do that! So I first turned to YouTube to watch videos which were very helpful then ordered this kit. I successfully had a full 2 weeks no lifting whatsoever and probably could go longer but I lost a gem stone and got sick of the color I picked so I did a fill. What a life changer!! First I picked my appropriate size dual form (you will need some space for the product and make sure it covers from side to side) then prepped my nails. I buffed, primed with primer I already had from my many dip powder kits, then applied Protein Bond that I already had (but never really made an impact on my dip powder nails). I haven't tried these without it yet so I'm not sure if this really is essential. Then applied the base to one hand. I used alcohol 91% as my slip solution to make the product manageable. I dipped the spatula tool in alcohol, grabbed some product and placed into the dual form. I then dipped the brush into the alcohol and went to spreading out the polygel. I used more of a tapping method that I saw in the videos which works better. It is very sticky but nothing too crazy with the alcohol, not sure why that's a main reason for some bad reviews. The alcohol makes the product easier to handle. I made the cuticle area a little thinner than the rest of it, cured on half heat for 90 seconds and voila! Beautiful nails! Once finished I applied the top coat and cured. It does take a bit of time, the first time was about 2 hours, I'm very meticulous about them being perfect. The darker picture was my first set, then I painted with gel polish. The first picture is after completing my fill after 2 weeks. For the fill, I've watched a video using the dual forms but I did not use them. I just put the polygel right on top of my nails and spread it around by lightly tapping. They didn't become as smooth as when using the dual forms and some were a little lumpier but nothing a little filing didn't fix. I think next fill I will use the dual forms. This kit comes with a lot of product for many sets. I am not a nail tech at all, just have some experience with doing my own nails and the dip powder and have some experience with acrylic but it's too smelly. Overall this is a great deal and great product. I'm sure these would last 3+ weeks but I like a fresh looking set so I may not let them grow out that long.

Übung macht den Meister. Anfangs hab ich mich noch ein wenig blöd angestellt aber es wird immer besser. Super easy im Gebrauch und hält fest wir beim Profi. Form und dicke kann man gut selbst kreieren. Für den Anfänger geeignet und für all die, die es satt sind immer ins Nagelstudio rennen zu müssen:) create yourself :) Zudem spart man eine Menge Geld, das Produkt hält mehr lange da man wenig benötigt. Meine Nägel halten gute vier bis viereinhalb Wochen. Also Sparfüchse ran hier:D

Em poucos minutos, realizei está unha. Gel fácil de moldar e de limar. O acabado não é super perfeito, mas serve. Quanto à resistência só o tempo o dirá.

Really hard to work with at first but once you get the hang of it super easy! I received my set on the 20th feb i done a set straight away, they were a bit scruffy and lasted a few days then i took them off (bit them off 😂 gross i know definitely not recommend) anyway i done another set (vid) a little longer in length and i thought they were going to snap immediately but nope still going strong and look great. So far lasted around a week so far. Happy✌🏼🙃 Also.. Make sure the brush is wet but not dripping with the slip solution i just have a little cotton pad to dab it on.. And when applying the form to your nail don't press down too hard as the product bulges out, if it does just clean it with the brush and solution (before curing) or file or use a drill 🤷🏽‍♀️ Whatever x

Very easy to use makes great marble patterns when using it on your nails. I would like to try the other colours

The best poly gel i ever used Better than the original first poly gel ) gelish )
