Modelones Poly Nail Gel Kit 6 Colors with 48W UV/LED Lamp Clear Pink White

LED light works great and it's a pretty color; good quality. I wish the multi-colored poly gel kits (like this one) offered larger sizes, even if it's 20ml instead of 15ml; for beginners, it can be easy to waste product by accident. The monomer size is fine. Polygel effciency/quality of hardness: 100%. Modelones polygel are good products for professional and personal use. It includes nail decorating pendants; mixed, chunky and tiny. The nail clipper is too small.

Everything came together and it’s really easy to use..of course practice will make perfect but I’m glad that I don’t have to spend $50 and up at a nail salon anymore. It’s been 2 weeks and I did a fill in and even then I didn’t need to because it still looks pretty good. When I first applied it..it was a little messy for me because I was learning and still am learning lol. Oh yeah...It burns but I think because it got on my actual finger but it’s not terrible. An electric nail drill is needed in my opinion It will help save time and really give you the shape and look you’re going for. The gel tubes really are great to start you off because it does go a long way. Soaking with acetone and using a drill helps if you want to get it off. The dual forms might not fit the walls of your nail but the main thing is actually getting the gel and shape and then you could free hand with the patch work. I love this kit Im glad I bought it and I can’t wait to use it again and get better at this. Ps. I forgot to add the cuticle oil and the cuticle scraper cleaner thing and this is light pink

Not gonna lie, it took me a long time to do my sisters nails. The results were good on the first try. I mainly had more problems with the shaping of the nails, but that will get better the more I use the kit. Overall, I would say I had an easier time with the kit because I bought extra items after reading other reviews. I bought an electric nail filer which saves A LOT of time. I also bought these clear nail clips for poly gel because sometimes the molds don’t stay flat closer to the cuticle area. If they aren’t flat when you cure them, they end up with air bubbles. I was missing and would recommend buying a nail clipper for acrylic nails to help shorten the nails to desired length faster. I would also recommend buying a metal cuticle pusher and cuticle trimmer that looks like scissors because the ones that’s provided sucks, especially if you aren’t planning on soaking your hands prior to help soften the cuticles. Some heads up? Buy the electric nail filer, nail clips for poly gel, metal cuticle pusher and cuticle trimmer. Also, watch a video or two on this kit on YouTube before you try it. I’m impatient so I watched two YouTube videos on 2x speed. In the instructions, they tell you to prep your nail by pushing down and trimming your cuticles. They also tell you to sand your nail a bit (which I did with the electric file and sanding thing provided) and wipe with alcohol before you apply the base coat. These are essential steps I feel like people who complain about the nails not lasting long enough or them popping off miss. The nail prep helps the poly gel to stay on longer! Other than that, the slip solution is really easy to work with. Don’t put too much and don’t put too little. When you squeeze the poly gel out of the tube, just be careful when applying it on the nail mold and you should be fine. I’ve also seen people apply the poly gel straight to their nails, put the mold on top and then smooth it out after with the slip solution. If you’re doing your own nails, I suggest even adding the poly gel to all the correct sizes you’re going to use for your nails beforehand so you just have to worry about the placement and touch ups on the sides after. Another tip? Make sure you cure the nails for long enough! I would go double the time the set recommends. Lastly, the nail molds are a bit pliable so don’t worry about bending a little to get them off after you cure a nail. If you go long with the nail length, I would say each poly gel tube provided gives you like 2 full manicures. I ended up shaving off a lo with the nail filer because I put too much poly gel. Sorry for the long review, just wanted to be helpful so others won’t have the same issues I did. Good luck with the kit :) definitely happy with my purchase and will be buying more poly gel in the future! Update: Second picture is my second attempt with the kit doing my own nails. Even harder than doing someone else’s nails in my opinion, but practice makes perfect so don’t give up! Definitely will be worth it when you become faster and think about how much you would be spending at the nail salon.

I am very impressed! I have been visiting nail salons and having acrylic sets done for almost 10 years. On and off I would try glue on nails and this nail hack and that nail hack and nothing ever worked like real acrylics. So I thought I would give the poly gel a shot, why not? If it works I’ve found a cheaper alternative to $40-$50 every other week for acrylics. I’m not sure how long the poly gel will last but man does it seem sturdy! The kit came with all the necessary tools, there is one tool in particular that I absolutely love. I’m not sure how I’ve been living all this time with out the little pronged black tool, it’s awesome! The gel wasn’t that obnoxious smell wise, I did my nails in an open room though. It took me quite a while between prepping my nails and figuring out how everything worked. But towards the end I figured it out and picked up the pace some. The poly gel was easy enough to work with, it spread nicely with the solution. There is a pinkish nude color, I think it’s number 015, that is stunning. I love that color! Over all my first experience with the set was a good one. I really hope these last some time and can become an alternative to acrylics. My first set is a little wonky, especially my pinkies where I didn’t use a large enough mold but I’m sure I’ll get better as I go.

*image with flash is after a few days *image with no flash is with a different brand of nail polish on top *video is to show the process of buffing (don’t panic if they’re ugly!!) This product was ultimately easy to use as a first timer. I have literally never done this before, and I’m pretty pleased with the results. I will definitely not be going back to a salon for my $60 mani when I can just get good at this! A few tips that MIGHT be helpful - gen rule of thumb, lightly buff the top of your nails for the base coat to grip (instructions don’t really specify) - the slip solution is pretty oily and can make it hard to tell what you’re doing, I would use alcohol instead (which is what I did) - the base coat seemed to never fully dry and was pretty tacky, I think that’s the purpose so that’s fine just move on (I gave up after 5 min of light) - these are STRONG, don’t fret about making them too thin - don’t worry about working quickly, the poly gel is actually very forgiving while still wet - clean up as much as you can while it’s still wet UNLESS you have an electric nail drill (I ended up ordering one for the edges and behind the nail to make a nice dip shape on the ones I didn’t shape well) - if you followed the instructions for base coat and drying under the light, don’t hesitate with pulling the form off (nail won’t go anywhere, not sure if anyone else had that worry) 10/10!

Definitely a learning curve. I can paint a portrait but this was pretty difficult the first time. I watched tons of videos before and still failed miserably. Tried again but without the dual forms and just did my natural nail. That turned out better but not what I wanted ideally. Then I got tip extensions. They are easier for me to work on vs the dual form and allow me to get the length. You absolutely need an electric file regardless. they are cheap to buy and will save you time. The colors are a little more sheer than I prefer. The white is nice to build French tip. If you work a nail at a time while you’re learning it takes a long time to do so be patient. I also got the nail clips the hold down the dual form while curing. A definite must as well if you plan on using the forms. I will definitely try the forms again but not until I get a little more practice with the gel. The brush sucks. I ordered another one. It is too soft and doesn’t move the product cleanly. You need something a little stiffer tha won’t fray.

I love it!! This kit is amazing for beginners. It comes with EVERYTHING you will need and is a great value for your money. I only experimented on one nail so far but it is very easy to use. Make sure to only use a small amount of the slip because my nail ended up sliding to the side a little and I didn’t realize it, so my nail is a little crooked. But that’s ok because that was a test run anyway. The nail is hard and not soft like I thought. I’ve had the nail on for 5 days now and it still looks good. No lifting at all. I wash my hands and sanitize a lot at work so no lifting is great. I do recommend watching you tube videos and follow the one you like until you get the hang of it. I also purchased a nail drill separately. I’m about to put my full set on so wish me luck:)

Well, buying this was a mistake. First, you should know that I have no allergies. To anything at all, ever. So to experience this bad reaction was a surprise, to say the least. I received the kit in the mail Thursday. By the time I went to bed that night, my palms and fingers began to hurt, but I thought it might just be exposure to all the chemicals and it would settle down the next day. Nope. Waking up Friday, I found it had gotten much worse, with my nail beds throbbing in pain in addition to my palms and fingers swelling, reddening, and filling with vesicles. I removed the product immediately and hoped that would resolve the issue, but alas. If anything, it worsened. The situation has remained mostly unchanged all yesterday and today. Any pressure is very painful, including touching the keyboard keys to type this. My left hand is the main problem, with most of the palm and inside of thumb, fore, and middle fingers affected (1st photo), as well as the "webbing" between forefinger and thumb (2nd photo). I must have inadvertently touched my neck/jaw/cheek at some point, too, because I have a giant red blotch there, too (last photo). On my right hand, I only have it on the inside of my thumb and between first and middle, and middle and ring, fingers. Anyway, I went to urgent care earlier today, was diagnosed with contact dermatitis and given 2 different steroid medications. So I got to pay a nice chunk of $ on top of the cost of the product. I can't do anything because it hurts to touch everything. And Amazon won't even refund me for this kit of nightmares. Insult + injury = Amazon.

So excited to try this product when it comes. Love it. I use clear poly gel with glitter gel colour and glitter flake for the ring finger and pink apricot for others. They have both curve and flat dual forms and that’s why i chose Modelones rather than other brand to try. The brush after use seems not smooth as original but might be my technique ruin it :)) and still fine when dipping in slip liquid. One thing to complain is they are so small but the tiny slip liquid can be used for 10 times at least as you dont need much for each hand and each gel tube can be used at least 2-3 times both hands. Took a week for shipping
