A poly nail kit is a set of products designed for creating polygel nail enhancements, which are a hybrid between acrylic and gel nails.
Here's a breakdown of what you can typically find in a poly nail kit:
-
Polygel Tube(s): This is the core of the kit. Polygel is a thick, moldable substance that offers the strength of acrylics and the flexibility of gels.
-
Dual Forms or Nail Forms: Used to shape the polygel. Dual forms are reusable plastic molds, while nail forms are usually stickers that act as a guide.
-
Slip Solution: A liquid used to manipulate the polygel without it sticking to your brush or tools. It allows for smooth application and shaping.
-
Application Brush/Tool: A specialized brush (often with a spatula end) is used to scoop the polygel from the tube and apply it to the nail or dual form.
-
Base Coat and Top Coat: These are essential for prepping the nail and sealing the polygel enhancement for a long-lasting, glossy finish.
-
Nail File and Buffer: Used to shape, refine, and smooth the polygel after application.
-
Cuticle Pusher/Tool: For preparing the nail bed by pushing back and cleaning the cuticles.
In summary, a poly nail kit provides all the necessary components for creating durable and aesthetically pleasing nail extensions or overlays using polygel technology.
