Poly gel nails

[LMW1990]

Hi All

Has anyone ordered and tried some of the poly gel nails that are advertised? The ones where you paint the gel onto the template and then cure with a light.

How easy are they and do they last?

Any recommendations?

Ohhh I hope you get some replies. I posted a thread asking this a couple of days ago. There must have been someone out there that has tried it. X

Apparently not! Did you find any answers? X

Yes I've done them, they take a while to get perfect, u tube videos were a great help. I found the white tip/clear nail combo the best. You also have to do a great deal of filing to get them looking smooth. I found Matt polish made the flaws less obvious. My nails have never been very successful with gel/acrylics etc. These lasted on me as long as salon nails did.

Hi @Monkey500, what particular brand did you use? Would you recommend it?

I don't know! Whatever was cheap on eBay at the time, I got a bundle with coloured gel and the solvents n uv light, gloss polish. I then added to it with the bits that wrap round your finger and some polishes. I use it mainly when I want look presentable! I'm a bit of a picker unfortunately but this stops the problem.
