Shade 02

Shade 03

Shade 04

Since I’m a natural nail lover and decided to just try it as an overlay I was really pleased that it worked so wonderfully! I didn’t have any slip solution so I used what I had on hand and it worked. I applied a very small bead of product to my nail and used an isopropyl alcohol dampened gel brush to apply the Polygel. 

 I gently pressed the Polygel and used the brush to manipulate the polygel to the free edge and cuticle line. I cured them for 1 minute and that was it! The control of this product is amazing! I tried the shade 03, this line comes in 10 different shades. 

 These are labeled as a soak off product but I didn’t have the extra time to test that. I had tried these over a peel off base coat. From my limited knowledge on polygel, I’ve never seen one being soaked off only filed off so I will be giving these another test to see if they truly soak off.

They retail for under $4 a tube. 

Let me know your thoughts on polygel, have you ever used one? Do you love them, hate them? 

On one end you get the flower magnet and the other is a set that makes lines when you move it down the nail. I found that side to be very tricky for me so I stuck to the flower petal side! 

For this manicure I started with a base of a black creme soak off gel. Next I added a semi thick coat of the BornPretty holographic chameleon magnetic soak off gel polish. The shade I used was Bp-01 Eye Of God (#41907). 

My swatch shows 2 coats of gel polish and a coat of no wipe top coat. This polish is full of flakies and tiny holo glitter! It’s on the thick side which is great for reaching opacity in only 2 coats. Each coat cures for 30 seconds in an LED lamp. This could probably be used as a topper if you took a lot of the product off of the brush first but I'm really loving this on its own! 

You can find this shade any more in their shop!

This is the rainbow triangle head gel remover from Born Pretty Store.

The bottom edge is flat. 

As with any metal tool, you’ll want to be extremely careful to avoid any damage to the nail plate. 

I recently swathed a gel polish and prefer to just slap it on my bare nail and soak them off and using a tool for any pieces that might be slightly attached still. I find using a peel off basecoat under multiple gel swatches was causing peeling, so I switched. 

Removal: 

Soaking for 10-15 min with Acetone soaked cotton wrapped in foil. My pointer is currently patched, for patched nails I use the peel off base coat because it easily pops off of the lightless gel I use for patching. 

After 10 minutes I tried to move the polish with the tool. 

It wasn’t coming off as cleanly so I soaked for another 5 minutes. 

5 min later....

Using the tool I gently scraped off the polish. 

And back to naked nails! 

After removing I gently swipe my nails with Acetone and apply some lotion, cuticle oil or cuticle cream to my hands. 

All in all I think this is a cute little tool. The site says it is stainless steel. It does have a good weight to it. It looks pretty while waiting to be used and if used gently, it works great! If you use metal tools this is one to add to your collection! This piece retails for $2.99

Born Pretty Stamping Polish Thinner #40835

This is a lovely shade of grey. It seems to stay wet a little longer than a lot of my stamping shades. If you look closely you can see the image isn’t as crisp as it could be. I think it may have slipped a little while I was stamping so next time I’ll wait a few seconds before applying it to the nail. Other than that it’s pretty opaque over this vampy plum shade and I like it! I’ve enjoyed every ND stamping shade I’ve tried so far! If you’re into stamping nail art, give ND stamping shades a try! Their black and white shades are some of my all time favorites!
