Poly gel

has become a beloved choice among nail technicians worldwide for its ease of use and low margin for error. Not only does it improve efficiency, but it also reduces the likelihood of mistakes. However, with numerous options available in the market, such as our factory’s constantly updated and optimized formulas, I’d like to share with you in this article how to distinguish between good and bad poly gels, along with usage tips and creative techniques for your reference.

Assessing Quality of Poly Gel:

• Odor: The smell serves as a straightforward indicator of quality. Lower odor indicates higher-quality ingredients, posing no harm to users and making the nail enhancement process more enjoyable.

• Hardness: Excessive brittleness leads to breakage and shortens longevity, while overly hard gels can damage the natural nail. It’s advisable for nail technicians to adjust gel thickness and application volume according to personal preferences to select the crystal extension gel with the appropriate hardness. Before application, you can conduct a test on a plastic film to determine your preferred hardness.

• Resilience: Resilience is particularly important when shaping nails; if the crystal gel lacks resilience, it won’t achieve the desired shaping effect.

• Stringiness: Excessive stringiness complicates the application process and hampers achieving clean results.

• Adhesion: If the adhesion is too strong, it will stick to the brush, not only reduces efficiency but also leads to wastage and potential damage to your brushes.

• Bubbles: Excessive bubbles in the extension gel can decrease nail longevity and prevent achieving a transparent finish.

• Whitening or bending after curing: If the gel lacks flexibility after curing, bending may cause cracking or whitening, affecting longevity and color retention.

• Transparency: Post-curing, the extension gel should genuinely resemble crystal-clear appearance without impurities, and remain non-yellowing under lamp exposure.

• Select a nail mold that matches the size of your nail.
• Dispense an appropriate amount of crystal extension gel onto the nail mold.

• Press the mold onto the nail, eliminating any bubbles if present.
• Trim excess extension gel along the nail’s edge.
• Optionally, use nail clamps to secure the base of the nail. Tweezers may be used to adjust width if necessary. Cure under the lamp for 60 seconds.
• After curing, trim the length with nail clippers and shape as desired.
