Create professional salon manicures with PolyGel nail products

If you’re a nail lover who wants to create beautiful results at home or a professional manicurist looking to get into gel nails for the first time, PolyGel colour tubes make it easy to get results you’ll love.

PolyGel is a light-cured gel hybrid system that’s a great alternative to hard gels for beginners or nail technicians who prefer to work with a non-traditional thick paste that’s easy to build out and form. Whether you want to sculpt out a nail extension for extra length or provide a layer of protection for your natural nails, PolyGel nail colours in a tube add colour and strength all in one step.

How PolyGel kits work

Because of its thick, paste-like consistency, PolyGel makes it easy to sculpt the right apex, extension length and shape, even if you’re doing your own nails and using your less dominant hand. Using a dual form that fits your nail bed, a PolyGel colour tube is applied to the groove and shaped using a nail brush. Once cured under a UV light (if you don’t have a UV lamp, try our PolyGel kit that comes with a convenient nail lamp), you will have a strong, gel nail alternative that is then easily separated from the nail form, leaving you with a beautiful, natural and lasting result.

Nail art styles you can achieve with PolyGel

With PolyGel and the right nail art accessories, you get a blank canvas to create looks that match every mood and aesthetic.

  • Natural overlays — Apply PolyGel directly over the natural nail for a smooth, protective layer that strengthens without adding extra length.
  • Sculpted extensions — Go long and luxe by building custom extensions that are lightweight yet seriously strong.
  • French tips — From the timeless white tip to glitter-dipped or ombre ends, PolyGel makes every French tip feel fresh and modern.
  • Ombre magic — Blend your favourite shades into a seamless gradient for nails that melt from one colour into the next.
  • Bold shapes — Sculpt dramatic coffin, almond, stiletto or square nails with ease thanks to PolyGel’s thick, controllable consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

PolyGel nail colour tubes are an easy way to create natural elongated nail shapes that are easy to work with, offer a variety of colours and finishes, and give you a lasting manicure. While acrylics use a liquid and powder combination to build out a shape, PolyGel is an all-in-one product perfect for beginners or nail technicians wanting to work faster to produce more complex nail art.

Additionally, PolyGel can be used on natural nails, adding a layer of colour while protecting your nails from daily activities. Because you’re not working with powders, you aren’t exposed to the risks of inhaling dust.

When properly cured and cleansed to maintain a clear separation from the cuticle, a PolyGel manicure is incredibly durable and long-lasting. You can expect PolyGel manicures to last for at least two weeks and even beyond three, depending on your lifestyle and how fast your nails grow. Adding a top coat and curing this as a finishing layer will also make it last longer.

Yes! Whether you’re bolstering your natural nail or building a dramatic extension, PolyGel provides a strong base where you can add any nail art. Feel free to add a classic French tip or experiment with chrome details, rhinestones, glitter and foils, stamping, blooming gels and so much more.

Our PolyGel nail kits come with more than 100 dual-form nail tips, nail primer, PolyGel colour tubes, slip gel and tools for clean-up, meaning you can expect to get dozens of manicures out of one PolyGel kit. Depending on whether you’re using it at home to give yourself professional nails or for your clients, you’ll be able to create multiple manicures with our all-inclusive kits.

If you’re experiencing lifting with your PolyGel nail fill, the problem probably has to do with improper nail prep. Make sure to buff and prime your nail thoroughly, trim your cuticles, and then apply and cure a base coat. Try to maintain a smooth and thin layer around the edge of the nails, and make sure the PolyGel solution isn’t overlapping onto your cuticle line or side walls. Properly curing your PolyGel is also essential. If you’re unsure whether the solution is cured, give them another minute to be on the safe side.

PolyGel is applied using a small amount of product squeezed from the tube, placed onto a dual form or nail form and then shaped with a brush dipped in slip solution. Once you’ve sculpted your desired length and shape, the nail is cured under a UV or LED lamp. After curing, the form is removed, and you can file, buff and top coat the nail for a flawless finish.

Yes! PolyGel and gel nails are generally safe and well-tolerated by natural nails when applied and removed correctly. It’s lighter than acrylic and doesn’t require harsh monomers or strong odours. To keep nails hea

PolyGel nails can be removed by gently filing down the bulk of the product, then soaking in acetone wraps or using a professional removal method. It’s important not to peel or pick the product off, as this can damage your natural nails. After removal, applying cuticle oil and hand cream helps restore hydration.

Absolutely! Once your PolyGel nails are cured, filed and buffed, you can apply either regular nail polish or gel polish directly on top. This makes PolyGel a super versatile option, because you can switch up your colour as often as you like without having to redo the full set. Want a glossy nude one week and a glittery red the next? No problem. Just paint, cure (if using gel polish) and finish with a top coat for long-lasting shine.

Both builder gel and PolyGel are used to add strength and create extensions, but they differ in texture and application. Builder gel has a thinner, self-levelling consistency that’s applied directly with a brush, while PolyGel comes in a thicker, paste-like form that you sculpt and then cure. PolyGel is often seen as easier for beginners because it doesn’t run or move until you shape it, giving you more control.

Yes, PolyGel does require a few specific tools to get the best results. You’ll need a PolyGel brush and slip solution to shape the product smoothly, along with dual forms or nail forms if you’re creating extensions. A UV or LED lamp is essential for curing, and you’ll also want basic nail tools like files, buffers and a top coat to finish the look. The good news? Most of our gel nail kits include everything you need, making it easy for beginners and pros to get started right away.
