MakarttPoly Nail Gel Kit: 6 Clear Pink White Colors Gel Builder for Gel Nail Extension Set, Long Lasting Hard Gel for Nails Strengther, All in one Nail Thickening Solution Salon Home French Manicure

*FILL UPDATE* 2.5 weeks later*SO two weeks later I did a fill and it was very easy! Turned out great! You really need an efile to work with this stuff but I had no lifting or anything. The crystals stayed on pretty well too, only lost 1 or 2 and that was easy to fix with nail glue ❤❤❤ the dark pink is such a pretty color!******So I used a more expensive kit before this and I did not like the colors as much as I like these. This is my second time doing any nail extensions and LOOK AT THEM. I get complimented wherever I go! People are asking me to do their nails! It is crazy and I am in love!I need nail extensins because I tend to pick at mt fingers until they bless without them (not cute when working with kids). But I am also in Grad school and am poor, so I can't afford to get them done all the time. This is a great solution and I am over the moon!I recommend using tips AND the dule forms if you are a beginner and not in school or anything. The poly gel is easy to work with but people go to school to learn how to shape and apply nails, so don't be naive like I was and think you won't need every trick in the book to help you out. I also recommend going on youtube and watching tutorials on how to use the poly gel with tips and dual forms as well as how to shape your nails (that's the hardest part). Also, from one beginner to another, learn how to prep your natural nail properly. LongHairPrettyNails and NaioNails are some awesome places to start on youtube.Things I uses with this kit to help me:- dust mask- file (they have some $30-40 if you are on a budget. Just make sure it plugs into the wall)- cuticle clean up drill bit (learn how to use it first)-round drill bit- pH bond- nail tips- brush on glue- cuticle pusher- 71% alcohol (For prep and slip solution)- good light- lots and lots of time and paper towels- LED/ UV lamp (obviously)- extra 100/180 grit files- bufferOptional:- crystals- crystal placement tool (wax on one end, stick on the other)I will update in a few weeks when its time for a fill. This stuff is awesome for a beginner who is willing to research nail care ❤ So happy so far!

This product is AMAZING! I have been doing my own nails since 2004. I’ve used acrylic, gels, wraps but never polygel. After watching some YouTube videos, I decided I wanted to try it out and see if I liked it. I was sick of all the work it takes to do acrylic and with a baby in the house, didn’t want to strong smells that come with it. I decided on the Makartt brand, and I am so happy I did!PROS:• comes with 6 polygel colors• the dual forms come in a wide variety of sizes, unlike other dual forms I have tried.• the brush/spatula are great quality• the polygel itself is very easy to work with! You can play around with shape and positioning of the gel as long as you want. It will not harden until placed under a lamp and cured.• polygel is softer than acrylic. So the filing/shaping process is so much faster and easier. As my first time using this type of gel, I used too much and my nails came out too thick. So I had to file them down. What would have taken me hours of filing with acrylics, took me minutes with the polygel.• no harsh chemical smells! HUGE positive!• comes with the base and top coat. And the top coat is AMAZING! My husband commented immediately that my nails look so much shinier and clear.... that’s because of how amazing this top coat is.CONS:• doesn’t come with a slip solution so make sure you have either some slip solution or isopropyl on hand. You will need it to dip your brush in to keep the polygel from sticking to the brush/spatula. Definitely helps make the forming process much easier.• although you do get 6 different colors, the tubes are very small. Not a huge con at all since it’s a starter kit. But if you prefer one of the colors over the rest, you will have to buy a bigger tube. Again, not a deal breaker. Just worth mentioning.• doesn’t come with a light. So if you do not have one you will need to purchase one. Again, not a huge deal. There are tons of reasonably priced lights out there.All in all, this is a great kit. I will definitely be purchasing from this company again. There are tons of videos on YouTube of people using this company’s product, and they all love it. And I can see why!
