## How to Apply Polygel Glitter Nails.
Getting salon-quality nails at home has never been easier, thanks to polygel. This versatile nail enhancement combines the best features of acrylic and gel nails without the drawbacks. Add a touch of glamour with glitter, and you’ve got a sparkling, head-turning manicure. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply polygel glitter nails.
## Gather Your Supplies.
Preparing for your polygel application is crucial. Make sure you have the following items:
1. Polygel kit (includes polygel, dual forms, slip solution, and brush).
2. LED/UV lamp.
3. Base coat and top coat.
4. Nail buffer and file.
5. Lint-free wipes.
6. Rubbing alcohol.
7. Glitter powder or pre-mixed glitter polygel.
## Nail Prep.
Start by prepping your nails. Remove any old nail polish using acetone and ensure your nails are well-trimmed and shaped. Use a nail buffer to gently roughen the surface of your nails, giving the polygel something to adhere to.
Clean your nails with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils or debris. Applying a dehydrator and a primer will further aid in adhesion. Once your nails are clean and prepped, apply a thin layer of base coat and cure under an LED/UV lamp according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
## Apply Polygel.
Squeeze a small amount of polygel onto a spatula and place it on your nail or the inside of a dual form. Dip your brush in slip solution to make it easier to shape the polygel. Gently pat and smooth the polygel onto your nail until it covers the entire nail bed, working it into a natural, thin layer. Be careful not to get any on your cuticles or skin, as this can cause lifting.
## Add Glitter.
If you’re using plain polygel, now is the time to add glitter. Sprinkle or brush your glitter of choice onto the nail before curing it under the LED/UV lamp. Make sure the glitter is evenly spread to avoid any lumps or bumps. If you prefer, you can also mix glitter into the polygel before applying it to your nail or use pre-mixed glitter polygel for convenience.
## Cure and Shape.
Once the glitter is applied, cure the polygel under your LED/UV lamp for the recommended time. After curing, remove the dual form, if used, and check for any spots that may need additional shaping. Use a nail file to shape the edges and a buffer to smooth the surface of the nail.
## Final Touches.
Cleanse your nails with a lint-free wipe soaked in rubbing alcohol to remove any sticky residue from the top layer of the polygel. Apply a thin layer of top coat to seal in the glitter and add extra shine. Cure under the LED/UV lamp one last time, and you’re done!
## Maintain Your Polygel Glitter Nails.
To keep your nails looking fresh, apply cuticle oil daily to keep your cuticles hydrated and push them back regularly. Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent chipping or lifting. With the right care, your polygel glitter nails can last up to three weeks before a fill is needed.
Ensuring your nails look exceptional doesn’t have to be an elaborate affair. With these simple steps, you can achieve dazzling polygel glitter nails at home. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to **contact us** for additional tips and support. Happy nail crafting!
