Ya know? 😆

Also... this is NOT how I use dual forms. The technique I use in this video is the "hack" for those that didn't catch that in the beginning.

Thanks for checking out this video! 🙏🏻

Finally a goofy southern lady that makes sense 🤣🤣🤣 I been doing dip kits and acrylic forever, Finally ordered these poly gel dual form kits for me and my now teenager daughter to do together. Most of these YT tutorials drive me insane because they're not answering the questions in my head 😅 I guess southern women think different lol thank you!!

[JamesWelsh]

I was just watching this to see how these polygels work! Did not expect to see myself!! 😂😂 thanks for this vid!

Do you know what I do sometimes instead of applying it thick inside the form I’ll do a thin layer cure it And then take the form off after I do the UV light and then add more on top of the thin layer and sculpt it to make it thicker

[allieh]

Finally, someone who admits that polygel with dual forms is damn near impossible to perfect 🤣

[creativecheersoffashionlau]

I love dual forms and think they are beginner friendly. But I put the gel into the form. Then it doesn’t get pushed out that much( hardly any). Maybe you should try that. It us really easy then and you don’t have chunks missing. I love polygel with dual forms!

[donnastokes-manning]

At first I thought “Why is she putting dehydrator on before buffing?” But when you explained you had lotion on your hands because you have dry skin, like me, it made perfect sense, and was something I had never even THOUGHT about. So, now I might be able to have a few nail files last a bit longer. Thank you!

[nobullshit]

I began with full cover dual tips. I still love them. I put a thin coat of polygel in the form. Then after curing I shape and use dip powder or nail gel on top. This is much easier than sculpting with a paper or plastic form for me.

[morticiaaddamz]

For this particular hack you’re using too much product you gotta use way less and push slowly so it doesn’t seep out the sides and so it isn’t so thick around the cuticle

[lilsykos]

Yaass!! Thank you!! I've watched so many videos that claim dual forms are "beginner friendly". Beginner friendly my foot! I tried them and just couldn't get the hang of it. I ended up using paper forms and sculpting my nails. I am convinced that people who use dual forms are either a) doing a crap ton of editing to make it look easy or b) (the most likely scenario) they sold their soul to Neeailzbub the Nail Devil himself cuz they just can't be that easy.

(because people can be super sensitive on the interwebs, OBVIOUSLY I'm joking. OFC, I don't really think they sold their soul...)


(yes I do)

I love how everyone is telling you that you're doing it wrong when that was the whole point because it's a tik tok hack. You don't use forms like this, just for the hack.

[lisaleone]

I also hate dual forms, for two reasons. 1) the shapes can be weird. You have to practice to know how much gel to put in them to get the right apex, and then sometimes they are way too c-curvy or curved downward at the tip. 2) Having the smooth surface means nothing if you have to file the cuticle or sides because of spillover. In general I find myself still having to do a lot of work after using a dual form, so I just opt to sculpt the nail myself.

I have just discovered your video and I am just loving your personality and opinions about polygel. 🤣. I'm a novice at home diy nail girl with polygel and your experiences let me know I'm not alone with my grips! Lol 😆 just subscribed!

[JoleneMn]

This was very helpful for a Do it Yourself Nail Chick like ME. I ordered a Polygel Nail kit like a week ago from ICONEVE nails so I’m excited to get it!!! I’m trying to watch YouTube videos like yours to learn how to do it myself before my ICONEVE kit arrives. So THANK YOU!!! This was VERY HELPFUL!!!! 💋❤️

[Melissa_Lawrence]

Thank u! I noticed that the 1 and size 0 had no difference in the stiletto forms when I got this kit the other day! I thought I was going crazy lol
Enjoy this video, definitely going to watch your others, look forward to seeing u posting more! Tons of love from a Canadian in the UK ❤🍁🇬🇧

[jessicahannah]

You won my ❤ Robert and James. You must love "sciences" too. 😆

[heatherbrooks]

This is great! I saw the short videos and bought the whole kit, and am loving your tutorial!

[jenniferbohner]

[angiesmith]
