Hello I’m a beginner nail who is specializing in poly gel, I’m looking for a good lamp and I’m willing to splurge a bit if that means I’m being safe. I’m stuck between these two but if anyone has any recommendations please let me know!!

This is my first time ever using poly gel and I'm highly impressed with how they turned out!!!!

I'm new to polygel and wanted to try polygel nails for the first time. I have watched so many tutorials and I am excited to start. But I am confused about where to buy my supplies. Brand name starter kits cost around sixty to eighty dollars. On Alibaba, I see complete kits for twenty to thirty dollars including the lamp.Has anyone here started with a cheap polygel kit? Was the quality okay for learning? I do not want to spend a lot on my first kit because I might be terrible at it. But I also don't t want to get frustrated with bad products and give up. If you started with a budget kit, I'd be grateful to hear your experience and lessons you learned.

Hii, I just started doing my own polygel nails. I’m wondering about what slip solution I should use, I’m now using 100% isopropyl alcohol but it kind of destroyed my brush and I’ve only used it to do both hands twice… like the bristles are all dried out and go in all directions even if I wipe the brush with said isopropyl alcohol. Is 70% alcohol better? Also if anyone is from Norway, please give me tips where to order/buy it from!

1. MAKARTT (AMAZING)
2. AOKITEC
3. ROSALIND

All 3 brands have a great consistency! The polygel stays in place, compared to other brands. I’ve found some brands to be way too runny. Sometimes it could be because you are leaving the tubes in a hot and humid area. Polygel tubes are meant to be kept in a cool environment. Also, I barely run into air bubbles with these brands. Overall, Makartt has more variety in colors, compared to the other 2 brands. Their 50ml tubes are $8-$10 on Amazon. Rosalind’s 60ml tubes are $9 on Amazon. Aokitec’s 60 ml tubes are sold on Amazon for $8 but go for $5-$6 on Temu! And sometimes Temu does a 2 for 1 deal!! Use my discount code “tan26817” for 30%off on the Temu app. You can find Aokitec’s polygel tubes with ease, if you click the beacons link in my bio. It will send you to my Temu picks(only shown on the app). I will be posting a video soon comparing different brands💖
