GAOY 60g Poly Gel for Nail Extensions, Builder Gel, Light Pink

As a beginner nail tech trying to learn nail techniques other than acrylic I have really enjoyed using polygel. The color is very nice and you hardly need to add a base color. I add one very thin layer of a polish that is very close in color to the polygel. And it looks perfect together. This product is very durable I’ve had my nails on for almost three weeks now. Something I had not been able to achieve with gel x. I very highly recommend. Application is easy.

So easy to apply and it looks flawless after buffing, no scratches. The color is beautiful and the price point is amazing.u Clients retention goes up to 8 weeks with no issues.

**Photos are of gel polish painted over the Gaoy nude polygel nail base. Therefore they do not show the color of the polygel, but they do show how well gel polish shows up on top of it. On the free edge of my thumb nails, you can see how the polygel shows up unpainted next to the polish.**I've tried a few different polygel brands and this is my favorite. It's easy to use and long-lasting. It's subject to the same failures as any brand if not used properly -- I've applied too thin and had breaks, and not prepped my nail well and had lifting. But if applied properly, it lasts forever. I know you're "supposed" to remove entirely and reapply after a certain number of fills, but I don't usually. I will file and fill over and over and over and this gel stays on until it grows off. I've literally gone 6+ months without a full removal, just doing fills.I also highly recommend this nude color as a base for gel painted manicures. It makes the polish show up very opaque and pigmented. Gel polishes can often be very transparent, which looks bad on natural nails or clear gel, but on this nude color, they look great and it requires fewer coats to achieve the desired look. Fewer coats obviously saves money on products, but also the fewer coats I do, the less opportunity to make mistakes, and thick nails can look really bad. You can get a similar benefit from white or black polygel, but they are less forgiving of mistakes -- if I don't get allll the way to the edge (easy to miss when painting with non-dominant hand), the exposed nude nail is a lot less noticeable than black or white. It sort of blends with the finger and you don't notice it.My favorite way to apply this is similar to how acrylic is done -- I put a blob on my prepped nail and shape it with a brush dipped in alcohol. I've tried slip solution but I think alcohol works better, and it's much cheaper. If I'm working from my natural nail, I use stick-on forms to shape the tips. But most of the time I am just filling so I don't need to create a tip. I've done acrylic before and never managed to get good at it -- it takes a lot of (expensive) practice and I couldn't do it. Polygel is wayyy more forgiving -- it stays soft until you cure it (unlike acrylic) and you don't have to mix up your own beads, trying to get the ratio of liquid and powder exactly right. I've also tried dual forms several times, and haven't been able to get good results. It may be the forms I used (only tried one brand), but since the free-shaping with a brush method works for me, I haven't felt the need to try other dual forms.Anyway, love this stuff -- it's my go-to now.

I wanted to try poly gel again after only using builder gel for a while. I used some other dual forms I had ordered with this poly gel and didn’t have any problems. I don't think the poly gel is overly sticky, but I also used modelones slip solution. I used a gel base coat before the poly gel (which I let cure for 60-90 seconds), and have had it on for about 2 days now. In the pictures, I haven't even used a top coat because I got busy and I was still shaping them. It's a learning curve to get used to how much product to use (I used too much and had a lot of filing to do lol), but I'm sure it'll get easier as I use it more. Overall, I like this poly gel and the color is really nice!

This is my favorite polygel and it's so affordable. It's very thick and stays in place after you shape it. It's easy to file and strong enough that it doesn't break when it's at the thickness of a credit card.This white color is perfect for natural looking nails. It's a little transparent.With a rubber base applied first, my nails last weeks. I'm my photo you can see how much they've grown out without a single break. Longer than any other polygel I've tried. My only problem with it is that it's so hard to squeeze the tube. I wish it came in a jar.

Very easy to use, good quality. It was recommended to me by a colleague and love it. it holds its shape on the nail and give me time to work on it dryer great on my lamp and don't stick on the cuticle sticks which is what I use.

i love this stuff, this is my 2nd day practicing nails and it’s so easy to work with as a beginner! i use 70 percent alcohol to help shape it and i cure with a uv light, it looks really nice, these pics are after a matte top coat

Great product, excellent quality not sticky I’ve working with many polygels brand my favorite is increasing the price every year and this gaoy Polygel honestly feels same quiality of pink mask Polygel and cheaper than them. I’m glad that I decided to give it a try, definitely will stay with this brand.
