Review on πŸ’… Gel X Nail Kit - 2 in 1 Nail Glue & Base Coat (Clear & Apricot Color), 500Pcs Coffin Nail Tips, UV Lamp - All-in-One Gel Nail Kit by Megan Knoll

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much easier than regular polygel!

I give 5 stars. Just finished the set. Cut them because I appreciate shorter and more functional nails. The application was easy. Nail clips will help you here because if you press on your nails they will rise and harden that way, with air bubbles if you are not careful. If you don't have clips, you'll need to find a way to keep them in place. Hope these last. If not I will come back to change my rating. Much easier than traditional polygel.!UPDATE!Girl, second photo with a month of wear. You can see where they grew up. These things won't budge, I'm telling you. I'm very nervous about the removal process as these pieces are durable and I don't want to damage my natural nails. I plan to take them off later this week in preparation for my vacation next week. Pray for me. I'll be back to let you know how the process went. Stay tuned.! UPDATE to UPDATE! I'm excited. Serious. I have never lost or broken a single nail and I have pretty rough hands. Remember I cut them to functional length but even with regular polygel, acrylic or press-on I always had to adjust how I handle things as the nails would snap and snap or fall out entirely. That has never happened with these nails. I need to improve the application process as it can be a bit difficult to cure them on my nail bed without lifting or creating air bubbles between them. Also, I still had trouble pouring the product around the cuticles. This problem can be solved with a little extra logging. As for the distance, I really thought I would prevail. The only problem I had was my own being too aggressive with metal tools to remove the nail bed. My procedure was I sawed off the old gel polish almost completely, then used a cuticle pusher to lift them up a bit in the cuticle area to allow pure acetone to get in there and soaked them in pure acetone for 10 minutes, scraping them off which I did could, then soaked another 10-15 and done. Since they were so hard I really thought it would take a lot more effort and since the polygel nails weren't the most expensive I didn't know how effective acetone would be. Hang in there, ladies!
