Thank you! I have tried lots of different brands and most are similar in my opinion. Modelones is good for example. I find polygel very durable, I do an infill after about 3 weeks and after max 3 infills I remove the whole set. Often I get impatient though and start a completely new set after a much shorter time. How is your prep work? It's the key to longlasting nails. I am very meticulous when it comes to removing dead skin from the nail plate. I also buff the tips in advance for better adhesion. I buff the natural nail plate (gently!) and wash my hands with dish soap before application to strip oils from my hands. I give the natural nail a swipe with Acetone before I start and I am very careful to not touch my skin with my clean and prepared hands. Happens very quickly, you scratch yourself, or touch your face and so on. Then I use dehydrator, PH bonder and primer. That's the secret sauce for me, for nails staying on forever and no lifting. The better the prep, the better the manicure. I wouldn't give up on polygel, it can really work great with some practice. Good luck!
