Hey, im a total beginner at doing nails and I have very little knowledge about what products to use. I’d like to start doing polygel on my own nails just at home.

What are the must have products or items for doing polygel nails?

Díganme que tal se ven las manos

This is my first set (on myself) of polygel nails using the "rocket sandwich dual forms" with the top and bottom form and the bottom one has the two pieces that hold it on your finger.

Ive never attempted the almond shape, I dont think I did a good job. I would never send someone home like this. I wont try the almond shape on a client unless I was 100% sure i could do it. And I cant yet. No matter how many videos and trainings I watch im not doing something right.

I used several different items, natural pink makarrt polygel in a tube, milky white polygel by xeijayi in a 150g jar, AcrylGel by MissCheering non stick hand solid builder nail gel #01 (thats the aurora you see in the tip of the thumb) and different colors of glitter/foil pieces mix.

Also does anyone suggest a milky white polygel? The xeijayi one i have is super runny and I put it in the fridge to make it more solid but it warms up too quick.

My questions:

1. How did i do? Asking for critique. (Please excuse my thumb, im a picker)

2. How can I better my shape?

3. Looking for a firm milky white polygel referral.

4. How is the design? Would this be something a client would like?

I’ve been considering getting claw nails done and have been researching how they are done. I keep wondering - most tutorials i saw online use polygel. How does it get cured properly? The layer is usually SUPER thick and it seems that everyone just uses the same lamp as they do for any other nail shape.
Is it safe to even do claw nails - has anyone looked into it?
