Beetles Poly Nail Extension Gel Kit with U V Light: 6 Colors Builder Gel Set Pink Glitter White with Top Base Coat and Slip Solution Nail Forms Tools Charms for DIY Manicure

I found out about poly gel nails from TikTok videos. For months, I thought about trying it out. Since I was stuck in quarantine I decided to look the product up in more depth. I reviewed a plethora of different brands (went down so many rabbit holes, sheesh) and watched a few tutorial videos. I decided it was best to go with this one for a few reasons.Here are 10 NEED TO KNOW TIPS:1. Almost ALL products are gonna have at least one bad review (probs more if it has more reviews). This one was the best one to me and I’m glad I picked it.2. If you aren’t a professional then it’s gonna take PRACTICE. Don’t think you can just become a doctor by watching Grey's Anatomy... c’mon now.3. It was easy to use compared to actual acrylic and not sticky if you use the correct solution.4. I bought my own UV/LED nail light on amazon for like $19.5. I also bought my own primer (ITS NEEDED) & I used a 70% Alcohol solution to help shape/mold the gel.6. Start off with shorter nails FIRST. Don’t get cocky your first time and try to do some long stiletto nails when you haven’t even figured out everything.7. Prep your nails before anything. Prep. Prep. Prep. That means, wash ya nasty hands, dry off, file/shape/trim, push back or trim cuticles, file your whole nail gently (the whole nail people), buff a little, and add your primer or dehydrator. DO IT. IT MAKES THEM LAST LONGER. Help get your moneys worth.8. Speaking of lasting longer... Don’t glob a lot of gel on at first! You should start off small and add more if needed- don’t be wasteful.9. Also, make sure to not press too hard on the nail forms to decrease any spillage or bubbles (clean around the cuticle area with alcohol dampened brush to remove excess).9. Follow the instructions Aka: apply base coat, cure under lamp 30-60 sec, apply poly gel with brush that is slightly dampened with alcohol solution, shape gel, cure for 90-130 sec (better safe than sorry, so cure them long), then WIPE OFF with a cotton ball that has rubbing alcohol on it to get rid of the stickiness, shape/file the whole nail even if the shininess is tempting to keep (this is important), apply top coat evenly, cure again for a long time, wipe off again with alcohol, apply cuticle oil, and boom you’re done.I hope this can at least help one person. I love it and everything came perfectly packaged. The colors are great, file works wonderfully, brush/applicator is nice quality, nail forms fit my nails, and came with a lot of them. The tubes are “small” to some people, but if you use my tips on not being wasteful and how to make them last long then you’ll be fine. Goodluck!!

I recently purchased this nail extension gel kit with 2 beautiful pink shades I absolutely adore and I’m really impressed! The colors are perfect ranging from soft blush to bright fuchsia giving me plenty of options to create elegant and trendy nail designs.The gel formula is thick but easy to work with, and it cures quickly under my UVLED lamp without any sticky residue. The finish is glossy and smooth, and the gel feels durable and long-lasting. I’ve had my nails last almost two weeks with minimal chipping or lifting, which is great for gel extensions.The kit comes with clear instructions and all the basics I needed to get started, which was super helpful since I’m not a professional. The pinks layer beautifully and blend well if you want to do ombre or mix and match styles.Overall, this kit is perfect for anyone who loves DIY nail extensions and wants quality colors that last. Definitely worth it!

My first time trying polygel! Loved this set, and they feel stronger and healthier than Acrylics. Though I’d recommend using paper forms or applying polygel over tips than using the dual forms it comes with.Pros: easy to work with and fix mistakes, great coverage, good shade range, multi useCons: incredibly sticky, in squeeze tubes and not pots, time consuming until you practice enough to get faster

I tried another brand before getting Beetles Polygel, and struggles with lifting before curing, bubbles, stickiness when spreading, and them not lasting long. But then I got this set from beetles and have had a much better experience with these! I am a “beginner” and learning as I go, doing only my nails with poly, so not a ton of practice. These don’t lift off as easily before curing, and I haven’t had any lifting at all in the week since doing them. And of the 10 nails, I only have two very small bubbles (only the two nails that lifted before curing bc I got distracted). I would definitely say this brand is user friendly and the color is uniform and intense. I did find them to be a bit sticky after curing, so just wipe with acetone or alcohol before applying a top coat. I flash cured each nail for 5-10 sec to set the nail bed/cuticle then spread the tip, then cured for 60 sec for each nail and have found no difference in how soft/hard/brittle they are from the first nail done to the last done. As far as chip resistance….. let’s just say I got my zero turn mower stuck the other day and tried pulling it out by hand for 5 minutes then went and got my tow strap and pulled it out and not a single nail chipped, cracked, or lifted. I am looking forward to trying the rest of the colors from this set and other sets I’ve gotten. I will say that the glitter ones, at least the chunky glitter ones, it’s not as much glitter as the stock photo makes it seem

My wife bought this. She said it is messy, sticky and took forever to figure out. It’s definitely a learning curve. She watched a couple YouTube videos and followed the directions it came with and it still took her 3 hours to do her nails. They turned out great, but still definitely not as easy as you see she has seen people do it on social media.
