PolyGel is a hybrid product introduced in the late 2010’s that combines the strength of acrylics with the flexibility of gels. It has its own set of pros and cons, but essentially, it’s premixed, resembling putty or stiff playdough, and requires a slip solution for manipulation.

The Pros: Polygel is easy to shape and sculpt for extensions or overlays, lightweight and flexible like a gel and strong like an acrylic while being low odour and allow Nail Techs to avoid the risk of flooding or curing too quickly. The

Cons: Polygel requires slip solution for manipulation during application, and it may not offer as much strength as traditional acrylics for clients with very brittle or weak nails. Skill is needed to achieve optimal results, as improper application techniques may affect longevity and durability.

FAQS

Then you learn, and you try again, and you ask for help, and you keep going.

There's a misconception that you need to be good before you join a lesson but this is definitely false! Your live lessons are where, after watching the pre-recorded demonstrations, a Mentor can help you in real-time. The Mentor guides you through practicing for the first time - you're not supposed to be a master.

You can also re-sit all Assessments and rewatch all pre-recorded content for the duration of your 12-month Study Period (although only the first Assessment attempt is free)

It's a common misconception that our online courses are just pre-recorded videos, however they actually include in depth live lessons done via Zoom.

Your Mentor can see your desk as you work. You can see their desk incase they need to demonstrate something for you.

You can watch a recording of a real, live lesson here.

We genuinely find that students get better results from online training as they can see closer and across multiple angles, even recording their lessons to rewatch.
