modelonesPoly Nail Gel Kit - 6 Colors with 48W Nail Lamp Dark Emerald Green Extension Gel Misty Gray Blue Fall Winter Builder Gel Slip Solution Glitter Nail Kits for Starter DIY Gift

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.

Well there's a first time for everything, right?. I wanting to try to do my own nails since forever. There's a learning process from my experience. For reference I have short flat nails I used the curves forms. I've never had done my own nails . What I recommend that helped me: a) Whatch Youtube Modelones Tutorials. 1 choose the correct nail form. 2 Prep your nails. 3 Apply base coat ONE nail at a time (my mistake, I base coated all my nails there were sticky lol). 4. Do only one nail first, all steps you will learn a lot from that. 5 Be patient, enjoy the process. 6 Have clips ( update: I didn't use clips that much) and Gel remover I used AVILER the one with tools. You will also need a small container for the slip solution and any manicure kit to remove your cuticles. I bought a nail drill but I didn't use it that much so do not bother and try these kit. Everything came in perfect new condition, sealed, fresh, well packaged. Update: My first set of nails I'm proud of myself :).

I just bought this product out of 100 of multiple selections and I have to say I love it. It brings all the necessary tools needed for a beginner to practice and see if this is something you will like for future. I am only giving it 4 stars because I just did my nails and I do not know how long nails will last and how easy is it to take them off. I took 2 hours to complete my nail as a beginner . Looking at videos definitely helps and if you follow all the steps the results will be good.. the quality of products are good and the poly gel tubes are perfect size (again for beginners) as they are small. Overall so far it has been a good product and will recommended it.

This is my first time using any type of nail product other than nail polish and I'm shocked at how easy this kit was to use. I read a bunch of reviews and a bunch of tips / tricks before ordering. This kit was 57% off so I thought why not! Came in the mail yesterday and I tried it today. I watched a video before starting and then followed along with a video. Overall it took about 3 hours from prepping my nails, trimming my cuticles, doing each nail and curing (All while watching the video a few times while doing my nails just to make sure I wasn't missing a step), trimming, buffing, and filing them down to the right size and then I also added another coat of nail polish since the gel that I chose for the first time was very transparent. I think next time the amount of time will be cut in half.Overall I'm extremely satisfied and so excited to keep trying these. It was really hesitant about doing the nails on my right hand since I'm right hand dominant but even that side was really easy to do. Highly recommend and will definitely be buying more gel down the line.*One thing to know- I recommend getting gel clips for your nail to help hold it in place. I also recommend getting an electric file to smooth out and even out the surface underneath your nail. A few of my nails were a little too thick on the bottom and having an electric file definitely helps with that.

This was my very first time using polygel. I watched several videos to get a better idea what to do - the package instructions are inadequate if you're a beginner.There's a big learning curve. It took me a long time and they're far from perfect, but I think they look pretty good.There was a lot in the package for the price and it all seems nice to me.My only complaint at this point is the slip solution. I tried to squeeze the solution and the top popped off spraying the solution everywhere, including my face. The entire bottle is empty now and I'm hoping it's not going to leave marks on my couch.I'm not amused. 😐

This Modelones kit is great! The polygel is great quality with a lovely range of colours. The top and base coats were great quality, too. The lamp wattage cured the nails very well, and the results looked very smooth and salon quality. Definitely recommend picking up this kit if you are looking into DIY polygel nails!Should be noted that the charging cable for the UV/LED lamp is an Asian adapter, so you will need a travel adapter if you live in Australia to use it.

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
