4. Setup & Application Instructions

4.1 Nail Preparation:

1. Remove cuticles.
2. Buff the nail plate to remove shine and create a rough surface for better adhesion.
3. Wipe off any dirt, oil, or water from the nail plate using a nail cleanser or 75% isopropyl alcohol.
4. Apply a dehydrator and primer before the base coat for optimal adhesion, or use cleanser/75% alcohol instead.

4.2 Poly Nail Gel Application (General Steps):

1. Apply a thin layer of base coat and cure under a UV/LED nail lamp (60-120 seconds depending on lamp wattage).
2. Select your preferred application method (dual form, paper nail form, or lazy nail tips).
3. Squeeze a small amount of Poly Nail Gel onto the chosen form/tip.
4. Dip your brush into slip solution or 70% isopropyl alcohol (not included) to prevent sticking and help spread the gel smoothly. Wipe excess solution on a lint-free pad to keep the brush damp, not dripping.
5. Spread and form the gel evenly on the form/tip, ensuring sufficient thickness, especially at the stress points (AB points near nail sides) to prevent breakage.
6. Apply the form/tip to your natural nail, pressing gently to remove air bubbles.
7. Cure under a UV/LED nail lamp. Curing time varies: 60 seconds for clear colors, 90-120 seconds for opaque/pigmented colors. Cure the top and then the underside of the nail.
8. Gently wiggle and remove the dual form/tip.
9. Trim and shape the gel nails with a nail file or nail drill.
10. Apply a top coat and cure under the nail lamp.

4.3 Curing Time Guidelines:

• Clear Gel: 60 seconds under UV/LED lamp.
• Opaque/Pigmented Gel: 90-120 seconds under UV/LED lamp.
• The more transparent the nail gel color, the shorter the curing time needed. Ensure the gel is fully cured.

5. Maintenance

To maintain the longevity and strength of your polygel nails:

• Ensure thorough nail preparation before application.
• Apply a sufficient layer of gel, avoiding overly thin layers which can lead to breakage.
• Refill your nails approximately every two weeks as your natural nails grow.
• After curing, wipe off any sticky layer on the surface.

6. Removal Instructions

Makartt Poly Nail Gel is a hard gel and is not soak-off. To remove:

1. Trim any excess gel.
2. File off most of the nail gel using a coarse nail file or a nail drill machine.
3. Buff off any remaining gel residue.
4. Apply cuticle oil to nourish your nails.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 Why is Polygel so sticky to work with?

Polygel is naturally sticky. To prevent sticking and smooth the gel, dip your brush or tools into slip solution or 70% isopropyl alcohol. Ensure your brush is damp, not dripping wet.

7.2 Why does my gel nail lift or peel?

Lifting or peeling often occurs due to improper nail preparation. Ensure you thoroughly remove cuticles, buff the nail plate to create grip (not just a matte finish), and dehydrate nails to remove oils or dirt. Scrub the base coat into the nail rather than just swiping it on.

7.3 Why do my nails break?

Thin layers of polygel can break easily. Apply enough nail gel, especially at the stress zones near your nail sides (AB points). Aim for a thicker application at the apex and thinner at the tip for optimal balance and strength.

7.4 How to fix gel overflow?

To avoid gel overflow, do not place the gel too close to the cuticle during application. If overflow occurs, file it off after curing. Remember to also spread gel underneath the nail for a smooth finish.

7.5 Can I use nail tips instead of dual forms?

Yes, you can use nail tips. However, dual forms are often preferred for easier removal of the form after curing.

7.6 What tools work best for polygel?

Polygel is thick, so a firm brush or an orange wood stick is recommended for shaping. Soft brushes may not handle it effectively. Acrylic brushes or silicone tools can also be used. Experiment to find what works best for you.
