Modelones Poly Nail Gel Kit, 6 Colors Poly Extension Gel Clear Pink White with 48W U V/LED Lamp 3D Nail Charms Builder Slip Solution Complete Toe Manicure Supplies Tools for Starter

LED light works great and it's a pretty color; good quality. I wish the multi-colored poly gel kits (like this one) offered larger sizes, even if it's 20ml instead of 15ml; for beginners, it can be easy to waste product by accident. The monomer size is fine. Polygel effciency/quality of hardness: 100%. Modelones polygel are good products for professional and personal use. It includes nail decorating pendants; mixed, chunky and tiny. The nail clipper is too small.

I am very impressed! I have been visiting nail salons and having acrylic sets done for almost 10 years. On and off I would try glue on nails and this nail hack and that nail hack and nothing ever worked like real acrylics. So I thought I would give the poly gel a shot, why not? If it works I’ve found a cheaper alternative to $40-$50 every other week for acrylics. I’m not sure how long the poly gel will last but man does it seem sturdy! The kit came with all the necessary tools, there is one tool in particular that I absolutely love. I’m not sure how I’ve been living all this time with out the little pronged black tool, it’s awesome! The gel wasn’t that obnoxious smell wise, I did my nails in an open room though. It took me quite a while between prepping my nails and figuring out how everything worked. But towards the end I figured it out and picked up the pace some. The poly gel was easy enough to work with, it spread nicely with the solution. There is a pinkish nude color, I think it’s number 015, that is stunning. I love that color! Over all my first experience with the set was a good one. I really hope these last some time and can become an alternative to acrylics. My first set is a little wonky, especially my pinkies where I didn’t use a large enough mold but I’m sure I’ll get better as I go.

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.

*image with flash is after a few days *image with no flash is with a different brand of nail polish on top *video is to show the process of buffing (don’t panic if they’re ugly!!) This product was ultimately easy to use as a first timer. I have literally never done this before, and I’m pretty pleased with the results. I will definitely not be going back to a salon for my $60 mani when I can just get good at this! A few tips that MIGHT be helpful - gen rule of thumb, lightly buff the top of your nails for the base coat to grip (instructions don’t really specify) - the slip solution is pretty oily and can make it hard to tell what you’re doing, I would use alcohol instead (which is what I did) - the base coat seemed to never fully dry and was pretty tacky, I think that’s the purpose so that’s fine just move on (I gave up after 5 min of light) - these are STRONG, don’t fret about making them too thin - don’t worry about working quickly, the poly gel is actually very forgiving while still wet - clean up as much as you can while it’s still wet UNLESS you have an electric nail drill (I ended up ordering one for the edges and behind the nail to make a nice dip shape on the ones I didn’t shape well) - if you followed the instructions for base coat and drying under the light, don’t hesitate with pulling the form off (nail won’t go anywhere, not sure if anyone else had that worry) 10/10!

The LED lamp works perfectly and cures the gel super fast, and it comes with a good variety of gels to start with.

I contemplate buying this set for literal months before I caved in. Long review, so bare with me. The good: the set seems complete, has everything needed for beginners. The formula seems sturdy enough. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. The bad: this seems like such an easy breezy at home nail solution. The videos make it look simple, but it is NOT. It is very time consuming. The formula is very sticky, and it can be difficult to keep the poly gel from over flowing into the underside of your nail. Even if you wipe all of the edges with the slip solution brush, it leaves a ridge at the cuticle. If you don’t have an E-file it can be very difficult to remove. Maybe I’m just too particular about how my nails look, who knows. I assumed that it would get easier with time and practice, but the one thing that did it for me was that this formula is not soak off friendly. It has to be filed down completely, which takes a long time and can cause damage to your real nails underneath. I gave it three solid attempts, each set better than the one before, but ultimately decided that this was not for me. Between the several hours it takes to file off the previous set and apply, cure, file, and paint a new one, I feel as if my time is better spent doing literally anything else. I have since switched to GelX extensions and it is a million times easier.

First thing that was a bit stressful was the fact that the tracking updates never showed. Luckily it arrived on the expected date right before I was about to cancel it since I thought it had never been shipped. I contacted Amazon and they did help me out and gave me a future discount so that was good. PS one of the mini glitter jars came open and it had spilled glitter all over the package which was annoying to clean but I recovered as much as possible and placed it back in the jar. On the other hand the actual product is great but I recommend getting polygel nail clips which hold the nail form while drying under the light so it doesn't cause bubbles. The kit comes with a base coat but I always recommend getting a dehydrator and primer to avoid lifting and works best if it's the same brand. Btw having to use a dehydrator and primer has nothing to do with the base coat being bad, it's something to do with prepping the nails that I always do regardless if you're using acrylic or gel. Besides that, everything in the kit works great. Now, if you've used acrylic before or any type of nail extensions products this will be very easy to use, if you're a complete beginner and know nothing about nails IT IS a bit hard so don't expect for it to be perfect but that's something you can fix with practice. If you have experience with nails, the first set will turn out great and it's easier that shaping a bead of acrylic. If its your first time, you'll probably get a good set after three or four tries.

My first few sets didn’t last very long, I was definitely still learning how to apply them, but the last one I did stayed for almost two months. Sometimes the sides on the nails start coming up, but that’s from my nail growing out and the fact that the nail forms aren’t perfect for my nails. I’ve seen a few people say their sets didn’t stay on at all but I can only imagine they didn’t set right/they didn’t use the base coat. I would also recommend buying a nail drill to remove them and shape them because it’s much easier. I won’t say my nails aren’t damaged but they’re still relatively healthy after maybe 5-6 sets. If you’re gonna do your nails a lot you should probably focus on nail health just to make sure you don’t do too much damage but compared to my nails after acrylics, polygel is so much better. It’s time consuming at first when you’re learning to do them but I can do my own set in an hour and other people’s even faster. If you don’t want to just do plain colors Modelones gel polish is also great, or you could always do regular polish with a top coat on top. There’s also one small issue I’ve had where sometimes the polygel doesn’t cover the entirety of my nail and then my nail will chip, but that’s just a small annoyance. Overall a great product and a great alternative to acrylic, let alone the fact that it’s significantly cheaper. I’ve absolutely saved hundreds off of this it’s incredible. I feel like this sounds paid but lowkey more people should be using this. I added a few photos of one of my first sets and one of my more recent ones, I unfortunately don’t have any of my last one but it was great lol. Also an example of the nail chipping after I took off a set.

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.

Nunca escribo reseñas pero estoy muy contenta con este kit. Todo me funcionó perfecto, y creo que es cuestión de técnica el que las uñas queden bonitas o no. Creo que a las que no les cura o no les seca el polygel es porque están usando mucho líquido del “slip solution” al aplicar el polygel, porque eso hice en la segunda mano y me tardo más en secar, pero solo eso. Solo en la primera uña del video use los moldes que vienen pero no me gustó mucho eso porque no se tiene tanto control sobre la cantidad que queda en las orillas de la uña y queda más grueso como se puede ver en el video que subí (el dedo de la izquierda lo hice con ese molde y el de la derecha es mi uña antes de hacer el retoque). Complementé este kit con un drill para hacer manicure ruso, limar las uñas, dar forma y quitar el Gelish o para hacer retoque de polygel que fue lo que yo hice, me hice retoque de un polygel que me habían hecho en el salón. Es la primera vez que me hago mis uñas en casa y me encantó el resultado, no se ven perfectas como de salón pero con la práctica confío en que me saldrán mejor cada vez. También recomiendo usar un aceite para cutículas al final (en la foto olvide usarlo y me lo puse hasta después), pero en mi caso me crece mucho la cutícula y se ve reseca y fea por eso tengo que estar usando aceites. He visto que también a algunas les da alergia, entonces si eso me pasa ya volveré a actualizar la reseña.

I don’t recommend this product for poor quality. and i was asked to pay the shipment fee for return don’t buy it

It’s amazing and so helpful also so easy to use

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
