All You Need To Know About Polygel Nail Extensions

Polygel is one of the popular manicure trends, quickly gaining popularity. It is regarded as a hybrid nail extension technique because it combines the flexibility of gel nails with the strength and endurance of acrylic nails. Polygel is a thick gel that is applied to the nail with a brush and an isopropyl alcohol solution to make it easier to apply. So if you are someone who loves and wants longer nails, this is a must-try.

The process starts with pushing back the cuticles and the dead skin from them is removed to prepare the nails. Before using a polygel solution, the nail needs to be well cleaned and sanitised. After using a nail bed dehydrator to get rid of any extra moisture from the nail, the technician will use a nail primer before applying the polygel. The middle of the fingernail is coated with a ball of polygel, which is then shaped with a spatula and an alcohol solution into the desired shape and length. Each finished hand will spend 60 seconds being treated under a UV lamp to ensure a soft and smooth finish, and then it is done.
