Here's What You Need To Know Before Doing Polygel Nails At Home

According to Byrdie, Polygel is a form of nail enhancement that was designed as a hybrid formula that combines acrylic nails with gel nails. Polygel comes in a tube and is a combination of traditional acrylic powder and clear nail gel; it has a soft, "putty-like" consistency making it easy to use and shape.

International nail designer and celebrity manicurist, Naomi Gonzalez-Longstaff told the outlet that Polygel "offers the nail professional the time and space to really deliver on sculpting and constructing the architecturally structured nail."

In order to use Polygel at home, you will need to invest in a Polygel starter kit. As per DRK Beauty, in order to create Polygel nails at home, you will need Polygel builder gel, a nail file, a double headed Polygel tool, dual forms for nails, a slip solution (or rubbing alcohol can be used instead), a Polygel base and top coat, and a UV or LED nail lamp.
