Not for beginners
I was so excited to try the poly gel and thought it would be so easy but it wasn't that simple. You receive a set of 8 colors. The tubes are small so I'm not sure how many uses you'll get out of it. I think you'll get about 2 full uses per tube maybe 3. I had a hard time with this poly gel. I squeezed a small amount onto the nail former and smoothed it out evenly. I put a thin layer of base coat on my nail and cured it. Then I put the nail former filled with the poly gel onto my nail but it wouldn't stay in place. The former kept lifting from my nail. I tried putting more and putting less to see if it'll help the former stay in place but it didn't work. I cured it for 120 seconds twice and even then the center of my nail where the former lifted from didn't turn solid. I even have a couple bubble pockets. Also while curing, the poly gel flowed to the right side of the former and created a thick dried buildup underneath the nail. I think the shape of the former is what caused this and because the former needs to be lighter. I came to this conclusion because I have used another poly gel brand where the former was feather light and less curvy and was able to cure the gel completely and the former stayed in place until cured. I didn't have any buildup underneath my nail either and got it on the first try. Otherwise, the poly gel was very easy to shape after being cured. I used the clear and I love how natural it looks but it feels like I have an acrylic nail. I might use it in combination with the nail extention in the future. Hopefully that will stop the buildup from happening. It also comes with a free gift of glitter. Overall, the set it okay. May be better suited for more advanced users.
