Gelish PolyGel

PolyGel sits between acrylic and hard gel. It comes out of a tube as a putty rather than a mixed bead, so there is no liquid-to-powder ratio to judge and no monomer odor at the table, and it does not begin to set until it goes under the lamp. That open working time is the reason technicians moving away from acrylic tend to land here. C8 Nail Supply carries the Gelish PolyGel line in 2oz tubes: Natural Clear, Cover Pink, Light Pink, Dark Pink, Soft White and Bright White. Gelish PolyGel Slip Solution is the companion liquid that keeps the brush from dragging while you press and shape, and it is not optional, since the putty will pull rather than smooth without it. Kits cover three levels: the PolyGel Trial Kit to test the system, the PolyGel French Kit for smile-line work, and the PolyGel Master Kit for a full setup. The Cre8tion Brush For PolyGel With Spatula Tool puts a brush on one end and a spatula on the other, which is the standard way to lift, place and press the product.

Gelish markets PolyGel as monomer free, meaning there is no separate liquid monomer to mix, and states that its filings are heavier than air so far less dust becomes airborne than with acrylic or hard gel filing. Cure under a UV nail lamp, compare with bottle and jar builder gel or with acrylic powder and monomer, add length first with nail tips, and browse the wider Gelish range. Buying for a salon?

Frequently Asked Questions — PolyGel

What is PolyGel and how is it different from acrylic?

PolyGel is a putty-consistency nail enhancement dispensed from a tube. Acrylic is made by dipping a brush in liquid monomer, picking up powder, and working the resulting bead before it sets in open air on a clock you cannot pause. PolyGel is pre-blended, so there is no ratio to judge, and it stays workable until you cure it, which removes the time pressure that makes acrylic hard to learn.

Do you need slip solution for PolyGel?

Yes, in practice. Slip solution is what lets the brush glide over the putty to spread and shape it. Without it the product grabs the bristles and pulls out of position. Use it sparingly on the brush rather than flooding the nail, since excess slip solution left under the surface can weaken the finished apex.

Do you file PolyGel off or soak it off?

PolyGel is a hard gel style product and is removed by filing down with an e-file or hand file rather than soaking, in the same way as other hard gels. Reduce the bulk down close to the natural nail and stop before you reach it. Follow Gelish's own removal instructions for the specific product you buy.
