this review title is: acrylic girl tries polygel for the first timecrazy different and the content is: this was my first experience with poly gel and i cannot say that it was an easy and straightforward one i did do some research and watched several videos to learn the process before even venturing into trying my own boy i had no idea what i had gotten myself into this is nothing like my beloved acrylics but for a little laugh and a few pro lift proof tips along the way i have added a video at the top to show my adventurefirst none of the nail forms seem to come close to fitting any of my nails properly and my mind could not even grasp this whole strange concept not one bit so i just added a tip and began to apply the gel as i would acrylic the gel is extremely thick and sticky and very hard to work with unlike the gel from the past the kit did not include a slip solution which would be hard for those just starting out and may not have alcohol at home i did have some but it really did not help aside from keeping the brush clean as the gel was so thick and almost unworkable it took me about minutes to complete one nail from start to finish including polish it was quite frustrating that none of the boxes for the polish were marked neither did they have curing times noted the instructions also did not include this information for the polishes but in the end i had a pretty nice looking poly gel nail for the first time everi appreciate that the kit comes with all the necessities aside from the slip solution it also contains quite a few glitters and tapes to get creative the light is very small but it gets the job done even if it takes a few extra seconds once the nail is cured you get a very hard and shiny finish the polishes are very nice although i do not care for a few of the colors myself the topcoat is very thickoverall i think this is a nice kit i enjoyed the learning experience and will likely play around with it again and i may try those strange nail form attachment things although i could have done over half a set of nails in acrylic in the time it took to do my one nail in polygel everyone has to start somewhere it is always fun to learn something new and the first time usually takes the longesti would recommend this kit for those starting out new and fresh or those who are seasoned a bit doing poly gel you definitely get a lot for your money and you will get a nice strong nail from this kit i am giving stars for the lack of information on the packaging and instructions on colors and curing times but i really do think i will like it much better once i get the hang of it.there are other information for this review, one is this reviewer did not purchase it and the other is 0 people think this review is helpful.
