Poly Gel Manicure

Polygel is an innovative nail overlay made up of flexible yet durable resin material that’s easy to apply, providing the benefits of both acrylics and gels without the discomfort or smell. Safe for natural nails, polygel has less of an odor than its counterparts.

Like acrylics, Polygel usually lasts three to four weeks before it requires refilling by your nail technician. At each refill appointment, they will replenish any existing product that may have run out.

It’s a hybrid product of acrylic and gel

Poly Gel is a revolutionary new product in the nail industry that blends acrylic and gel properties. Used to create natural-looking, long-term manicures, Poly Gel‘s putty-like substance can be sculpted into various styles to achieve long-term wearability. Plus, its quicker curing times than traditional gels make working with Poly Gel much simpler for salon technicians.

After prepping natural nails, a pea-sized amount of Polygel is applied and sculpted using a brush dipped in slip solution (a liquid which allows easier manipulation). Once desired shape has been attained, curing under either an LED or UV light completes the process.

Poly Gel manicures are non-odorous, making them particularly suitable for pregnant women or those with chemical sensitivities. However, application and removal do require specific skillsets that only an experienced nail technician should possess; to get this type of manicure professionally applied.

It’s easy to apply

PolyGel gel nail polish provides clients with a more natural appearance. Odorless and free from harmful chemicals found in other nail polish formulas, PolyGel can be applied over natural nails, tips or extensions without losing its hold over time.

Naomi Gonzalez-Longstaff, celebrity manicurist and nail designer, notes that Polygel features an easy putty-like consistency for application and shaping, along with being lightweight and odorless – ideal features when trying to reach #nailgoals!

Polygel manicures provide numerous advantages, including their ability to last three or four weeks depending on a client’s lifestyle, length of natural nails, quality of Polygel and professional application and removal at a nail salon. In addition, this application process does not cause damage to natural nails when performed by trained personnel at a salon.

It’s safe

Poly gel nails offer an effective yet non-damaging alternative to traditional acrylic and gel nail extensions. Their thick consistency is applied directly onto natural nails using a brush dipped in isopropyl alcohol solution before being shaped to meet your new nail shape and length by nail technicians. Polygel requires significantly fewer filing requirements and curing times compared with acrylic, plus it will bend with less bendability leading to breakages of natural nails than traditional acrylics do.

Nail technicians should avoid engaging in aggressive buffing that could damage natural nails and lead to bleeding and weakening. If any signs of nail damage exist, discontinue use and seek professional medical assistance immediately.

Poly gel nails often cause damage due to improper preparation and removal techniques. When used correctly, Polygel is far safer than other forms of nail enhancements and makes an excellent choice for clients who prioritize nail health. Professional nail technicians recommend gentle prep, controlled filing, correct curing timeframe and professional removal to ensure long-term safety of this solution.

It’s long-lasting

Polygel nails are an economical, flexible alternative to acrylic nails that can be applied as either an overlay or nail extension. Ideal for clients who struggle with nail biting or lack the time or dedication for maintaining natural manicures. Polygel manicures last longer than gel manicures and are less prone to chipping.

PolyGel differs from acrylics in that it does not require mixing monomers with polymers to form clay-like consistency, making application faster and simpler for professional nail technicians. Furthermore, it doesn’t have the strong smell associated with acrylics.

Though acrylic and gel nail enhancements do not damage natural nails when properly applied and removed, polygel manicures may need to be refilled more frequently due to lifestyle factors and individual nail growth. Furthermore, it’s crucial that clients develop the proper filing technique in order to avoid weakening the Polygel manicure.
