Trying out a new poly gel (i.e. extension gel), one that *shouldn't* trigger my acrylate allergy (HEMA, etc). I used a sandwich nail form to get the shape, then filed down the gel that leaked out the sides.

The shape isn't much different than my natural nail. My goal isn't necessarily to lengthen my nails, but to strengthen/armor then with gel...I just need something that doesn't irritate my skin.

So far so good! No itch, but I'll have to leave it on for a couple days to be sure. 🤞💅

PS: Brand is "Makartt". I cleaned my nail, then used their base coat and their clear poly gel.

So, today I learned a new printing technic with PolyGel Printing Plate
and Acrylic Paint - How do you like my first attempt?
So, heute habe ich eine neue Drucktechnik mit PolyGel Druckplatte
und Acrylfarbe - Wie gefällt euch mein erster Versuch?

So, polygel and nail update!

First, my nails were feeling kinda weak just due to all my experiences prior to polygel. I decided to give them a break from stuff a while ago. However, my nails kept snagging and pulling on things and causing MORE problems.

Plus even with cuticle care and maintenance my cuticles for some reason just absolutely go to shit when I don't have anything on my nails. My former nail tech told me this is actually really common, so, interesting.
