GAOY Poly Gel Kit with Lamp, 6 Pcs Builder Gel Extension Kit with Decorations for Nail Art DIY at Home

So one complaint is that the directions don't really spell out when to use the uv light. I just assumed that once you get the mold on your nail, you need to put your hand under the light to set it. Just an FYI, I did experience my nail starting to burn a bit. I just removed my hand for a few seconds. But it did set. I experienced this with my nail technician also so if you've never had your nails done (acrylic, etc) this might freak you out a bit. I think it's important to have a drill to file down access gel.

I am a habitual nail biter, so I have extremely brittle and soft nails that ar easily broken. I bought this product in the hopes it would prevent me from biting my nails while letting them grow. The kit comes with everything needed, even things that I didn't use lie that toe seperators, but they are nice to have. It takes some getting used to to maipulate the polygel, figuring out how much product to use and how to correct mistakes will come with time but my first application wasn't a total disaster. I wil ladmit that the polygel is STRONG. I am a horseback rider and go to the barn 4-5x times a week. They did not break, they did not chip and they did not move. Extremely sturdy product. When I used to get acrylic nail extensions they would break within a day of going to the barn, but the polygel stayed put no isses. The one downside for myself personally is that the forms are too curved width wise. they don't lay flat on my nails when I try any of them on in any size because my nails are more flat than round width wise. Because of this I found it difficult to keep the mold in place while trying to fix the underside and curing them. I had to press a lot harder than your supposed to also because the mold would just lift off my nail no matter what I did. I will be purchasing other types of nail forms that better suit my nails. but agian, this is a personal issue as no one's nails are the same. Overall I recommend this product especially for the price

I did not expect the quality of this nail kit to be so nice! It includes so many things, everything you'll need to do your nails just like at the salon. The uv light is also great quality. I had to practice about two times to figure out how to get my nails the way I wanted them now it's so easy. The only thing is, there wasn't any instructions on how to apply or use the different products in the kit. I was able to find them plus pictures and videos under the product description here on Amazon.

Packaging is absolutely beautiful. It came with everything listed in the description. Eventhough I have lots of nail equipment and at home kit experience with gels, acrylics, press ons, and powder dips, I tried to use almost everything it came with to have a more accurate experience of the product. The only thing I replaced was the slip solution. Since the polygel was so thick, 91% alcohol worked best with the brush but not dripping wet. I did this according to YouTube vids. The kit itself did not come with instructions, but youtube has thousands.. i used a nail prep for polygel vid, and several how to polygel vids. I used the nail prep supplies provided in the kit and preferred the kit tools to mine.. they are sturdy and professional. I loved the cuticle pusher the most. The cuticle trimmer was also easy to use. I did an ombre effect but it took HOURS. I mean hours... the ombre effect is very hard with thick gel.. alcohol makes it pliable, but too much makes it watery and extremely messy. The uv lamp works well, and cures it fast. The polygel has beautiful colors. I used light pink, clear and white for the French manicure ombre look. I love the colors included. Nudes, pinks, browns are so beautiful. I also purchased glass nail jars for the alcohol and brush use, lint free squares for cleaning the brush and nails, and the alcohol I got comes in a spray bottle. I use it for prepping my table, natural nails, cleaning utensils and more. This kit is an incredible value. I just did 1 set but these are crazy durable. I'll update it after I've worn them longer. The only thing is that you NEED a nail drill. I did this look without one.. only the black file provided but it took forever!! Also the underside of the nail looks crazy. Filled with hard goops of gel that need to be filled out. I definitely struggled with the amount of gel to use and made them thicker than I would have liked. The nail drill after they were cured was helpful to clean it all up and slim them down. The base coat is nice and viscous. The top coat cures very shiny and hard. Love that! I also already have a uv nail lamp but like the one that came with the kit better. It doesn't burn my hands/cuticles and has more time settings. The cord is short but most lamp cords are. I liked the cuticle oil as well. That was a nice addition. The only thing I didn't love was the dust brush. The bristles are a thick synthetic that is stiff and not great for removing powder. I sprayed my hands with alcohol and used the small brush to clean crevices instead. The small brush and spatula work well. They both got annoyingly sticky throughout the process (operator error), but cleaned up easily. I would definitely recommend this all inclusive kit.

This product is so awesome! I like my nails short and have got them done professionally for 7 years and finally thought I should try doing them myself. I bought this and a nail filler (electric) for less than I spend 1 time getting my nails done! This was my first time and I only got better with each nail! I loved that I could make them as short as I preferred!
