Polygel Nail Replacement

Introducción

If your polygel nail has been damaged due to lifting, chipping or breaking, use this guide to rebuild the entire nail. In order for a polygel nail to last, it needs to be built on a proper and sturdy base. Before using this guide, be sure to inspect the nail and ensure that the damage is not minimal. Typically, a small chip or break can easily be filed without removing much length from the nail itself.

Step 7 requires the use of a UV lamp in order to cure both a gel base and top coat. Make sure you have one available, as it will be necessary.

Before beginning, make sure that within the curing process, if you experience any heat spikes or discomfort, you remove your hand from the lamp immediately and allow time for your nail to cool off.

    • Start by cutting from one side of the nail then going to the other side with the nail clippers.

    • Cutting directly from the center will cause pressure on the natural nail, which is something you should avoid.

    • Start filing off the remaining gel until you are just left with the natural nail as the base.

    • Hold the finger in place to make sure you have control of where you're filing, making sure not to hit any skin.

    • The grit of the file does not matter; polygel is thin and easy to file.

    • File until you see that all the gel is removed.
