Beetles 60g Nail Extension Gel, 1 Pack Clear Builder Nail Gel

I am really liking this Beetles Nail emExtension Gel. Of course. Coming from the company, the quality is very good and sturdy. Last for a good month on your nails. As long as your nail is prepared correctly. The shine and appearance is very nice.As is the value. What I like about the drying time is.... you have plenty of time you need, especially for beginners, to get the nail just right before you cure it. Please watch a youtube video before applying this product. You put a small the amount of bead where you are filling the nail for instance. Then you dip your brush into alcohol & work with this gel, ALSO KNOWN AS HYBRID GEL. This gel gives you enough time to mold and play around with it before you cure it. Unlike the hard gel. Practice. Do not give up on this gel. The new hybrid gels are the way to go. If you are a beginner. It is not running like the hard gel. You can also use this as a builder gel or as a fill. MUCH EASIER TO WORK WITH. It comes in different colors, but I chose clear, because I have theBeetles clear full tips. When they start to grow out, i fill them with this hema, free gel. I really like it a lot.

This product is very easy to use with dual forms and VERY strong, so make sure you don’t apply it too thick because it’s a bit hard to file. You should clip the extension to the length you want then file. It’s also difficult to remove from the cuticles if it oozes out. So again, great product but take care to make a clean application. It cures fast but isn’t flexible once it hardens. It also dries clear.

I love this product, it is firm enough to have more control with the application and a little goes a long way. I will say it is a bit difficult to get out of the squeeze bottle other that I’m a happy camper.

This was my first time using polygel. I tried 2 other brands at the same time, and this one was my favorite. Beetles is consistently a good brand and I've really enjoyed all of their nail products I've bought. I am not a professional, but have been a serious hobbyist for about 10 years. I've tried most of the common manicure techniques, including liquid gel, acrylic, dip, single forms, and press-ons (full and tips). I wanted to try polygel with dual forms because it looked easy and fun. It was relatively easy, but not as much fun as I'd hoped lol. But this product made it so much easier. It's very thick and solid so I could take my time to shape it (brush in alcohol) without it running or slipping. I was not happy with the dual forms (Modelones, too straight with no apex) so I didn't achieve exactly the look I wanted, but overall I'm happy with my first set ever. I painted over the clear polygel with black gel polish, a holographic silver glitter polish, and a top coat. It's only been a day so I can't speak to longevity, but they feel sturdy. I did lose one in less than 24 hours, but I blame the forms, not the polygel. Because they are so straight, I needed to use far more product around my nail's natural apex to eliminate the gap. I didn't know this at the time and so there was a gap which I filled with top coat. Since this isn't how the polygel is intended to be used, I don't blame it for the break (actually it was more of a bend and peel off). I blame the forms.

I specialize in poly gel so i have tested out alot of different brands of acrygels. Regardless of cost. I have tested 0.70 cent all the way up to $20.00 bottles/brands of acrygel. (P.S.A - polygel is a brand , acrygel is the product. For anyone thats confused). I have tested quite a bit of generic branded acrygel that has been absoulutly remarkable, and i also have tested high end acrygel that has been crap. Beetles has been a fabulous, affordable brand. With great quality in everything they have put out so far. Until THIS acrygel. I have other beetles acrygels that i love but this one just isnt it. Its sticky, it doesnt want to cure sometimes and other times it does, the clear is more like a milky color, once its cured it leaves a white residue from the alcohol or slip solution ( much like when you put peroxide on your fingertips or gums , that white kind of ashy residue) even when i tried using base gel as the "slip" it disnt work to well. I was so excited for this acrygel and now that i have it im so dissapointed. I have bought cheaper acrygels on aliexpress, temu, shein, ebay, walmart, romwe, wish, and here on AMAZON and those were so much better quality. I would say in the nail industry that if you want good quality products then Purchase the better brands. It is a investment after all. But with polygel i would say that u can find so many cheap really good options. As for THIS beetles polygel/acrygel i DO NOT RECOMEND. Its mediocre at best. U can find a lot of other clear acrygels that work sooooooo much better..

So I started doing my nails myself during covid. Started with press on nail kits and full cover glue on nails. Recently I bought polygel because I thought it looked cool and could give me a much longer lasting manicure. That’s was about a month and a half ago. I’ve done 4 sets if nails since I started using polygel and I get better every time. It takes some practice and sometimes the first coupld nails don’t turn out perfect. I’m completely self taught and watch tutorials but mostly just learned by doing. This stuff was a great size for how much it costs. About twice as much or more than most kits give. Fairly easy to work with, but can get pretty soft if you aren’t careful. I liked this color a lot, natural pink, and I’ve gravitated more and more towards soft pinks lately with polygel than in the past. It’s a cute and neutral color that looks elegant without being too in my face. I like it because the pink is subtle enough but still very pretty. Keep in mind these pictures are both a single layer cured and then several layers of top coat plus the rhinestones. If you built up the layers the color may be more opaque, and mine tend to be fairly thin, just how I like my nail to be, but it could potentially be a stronger color. Overall I’d recommend to anyone looking to start doing their own nails. It’s cheap, can be fairly easy, but takes some practice. I use dual forms or poppits and have yet to try paper forms and sculpting. Just make sure you have the right base and top coats to cure with. I use 75%+ Isopropyl alcohol in lieu of slip solution, since it’s cheap and easy to buy at a drug store. Works great. Lots of patience with polygel, so not for those who aren’t willing to put in the work to learn how to use it.

​I am absolutely obsessed with this Beetles Poly Extension Gel in Natural Pink! If you’re looking for that "your nails but better" look, this shade is exactly what you need. ​Why I Love It: ​The Perfect Shade: The "Natural Pink" (Color 22) is a beautiful, soft blush that looks incredibly elegant on its own. It’s perfect for a clean, professional look or as a base for French tips. ​Consistency: The gel is thick enough that it doesn’t run everywhere, making it very beginner-friendly. It’s easy to manipulate with a bit of slip solution (or 70% alcohol). ​Durability: Once cured under my LED lamp, these nails are rock solid. I haven't had any issues with lifting or chipping, and they easily last me 3 weeks. ​Great Value: You get a massive 60g tube, which is way more than most other brands offer for the same price. This tube will last for dozens of sets! ​Pro-Tips for Success: ​Prep is Key: Make sure you dehydrate your natural nails and use a good base coat to prevent lifting. ​Don’t Overwork It: Use just enough slip solution to glide the gel; too much can make it brittle. ​Thin Layers: If you're doing a long extension, cure the underside of the nail too! ​Bottom Line: This is a salon-quality product that you can actually master at home. It saves me so much money, and my nails have never looked better. Highly recommend! Under UV, it dries very quick with a little that goes a long ways

I’ve been doing my own before with the liquid/acrylic bead on brushes, paid (outrageous) sums of money to have them done, and went back to doing them myself during the pandemic. I’ve used 3 different colors of Beetles poly and this one is: 1. Seemingly unavailable. I received it yesterday, 4/1, and it’s no where to be seen, either here or on Beetles’ website . Trying to sort it and it seems to no longer be available. 2. Which is a good thing because #204 is “gloopy” like toothpaste, won’t slip or slide, and if you do get it to harden, when you try to drill it smooth, it scales off like Ninja stars coming at you. 3. Must have been pulled for issues because the box it arrived in I’ve never seen before, not even when I’ve ordered directly from the manufacturer. May have been a discontinued/sell through existing supply because this is crap. 4. And did I mention that it has GLITTER in it? Because it does. Now, like most nail addicts & artists on here, I love me a good excuse for glitter. Glitter on my nails?, where do I sign? But when you sneak some by me without NO WARNING on your description, then we have some issues. Not to mention that when you DO get it to set up, it’s flimsy and in need of a second “layer” to strengthen it, but then you’re 8 minutes in and, well…you already know where this is going. I thought it was just me, being tired and not being as precise as the OCD kid with nothing but time and a brush in hand that I am, but nope, it’s this. Am most assuredly requesting a refund and am glad I bought a straddler between my next S&S delivery tube of my ride or die with this order. Overall, A bomb.com, great company, products, gel polishes, & tools. This particular product, not so much.

Great easy product to use. I have been using it for a few years now great for creating strength to your nails. I use clear as I use uv coloured nail varnish on top. It last around 4 weeks but that’s down to my growth. Use a good primer and they will not lift! Great product overall

do not purchase beetles polygels!! after you cure for 60 seconds and wipe with alcohol to remove stickiness when it comes to filing it gets rubbery and gets off of your nail quickly as it’s rubbery after curing very bad waste of money. buy gaoy polygel 100x better then any other brands. please do not purchase beetles polygels.

Polygel white glitter easy to use I like it

Works and looks great!

This is a problem product. Have since read up online - wish I'd checked first
