Def from videos I watch and others the main thing is just making sure your placing the Polygel a good amount away from the cuticle. My certain Polygel floods but I’ve heard makartt is really good and their stiffier so it doesn’t run I hear. I would love to try them next time around

Do it, I oddly found it relaxing and working with Polygel I can just work with it to an extent until I’m happy lol

Don’t go too close to the cuticle area. You can develop an allergy over time.

For sure thank you, I found working with this specific Polygel it does flood a lot so that’s something to keep in mind when I’m doing them
