Polygel ManicureReinforcement and natural shape

Healthy natural nails are cleaned and shaped. The reinforcement is modelled directly on the existing nail plate, cured according to the product instructions and carefully filed. Nail extensions with tips or forms are not part of this service.

We prepare the healthy natural nail, apply the material to the existing nail plate and cure it according to the product instructions. The surface and natural shape are then carefully refined. The treatment does not add artificial length.

• Daily cuticle oil: Maintains moisture balance around the nail.
• Gloves for housework: Cleaning products and water exposure affect longevity.
• Not tools: Don't open packages or scrape labels with your nails.
• Mind impacts: Avoid hitting hard surfaces directly.
• Regular infills: Every three to four weeks without fail.

Comparing the three methods:

• Acrylic:
  Advantages: Very strong, long extensions possible
  Disadvantages: Heavy feel, strong odour, produces dust, fast curing (little correction time)
  Removal: With acetone
• Hard gel:
  Advantages: Controlled LED curing, odourless
  Disadvantages: Doesn't dissolve in acetone, must be filed off completely
  Removal: Full filing
• Polygel:
  Advantages: Light, odourless, controlled curing, flexible yet strong
  Disadvantages: Not quite as hard as acrylic (for extreme lengths)
  Removal: Filing plus acetone assistance

Polygel minimises the disadvantages of both while combining their advantages. The most balanced option for most clients.

Polygel hat ein paar Vorteile, die man wirklich merkt:

• Leichtes Tragegefühl: Viele empfinden es als leichter als klassische, „massivere“ Systeme.
• Weniger Geruch: Im Vergleich zu Acryl ist es im Studio deutlich angenehmer.
• Mehr Kontrolle: Es härtet erst unter der LED-Lampe aus. Das heißt: Wir können die Form in Ruhe sauber modellieren, bevor sie fest wird.

• Active nail infection: Treatment needed first.
• Severe nail damage: Healing period may be required before application.
• Very heavy hand use: Manual labour increases breakage risk.
• No maintenance commitment: If three to four week infills aren't possible.
• Wanting complete naturalness: If you need one hundred percent natural look and feel.

Wenn dir Gel-Lack zu wenig Stabilität gibt, du aber keinen dicken, schweren Look willst, ist Polygel ein sehr guter Mittelweg: natürlich wirkend, schlank aufgebaut und trotzdem richtig belastbar.

At your first appointment we discuss the existing nail length, daily use and desired cosmetic finish. Reinforcement follows your natural nail; it does not create additional length.

The shape is chosen to suit the existing natural nail plate and length. Round, oval or soft-square finishes depend on what your natural nail allows.

• Even lighter formulas in development.
• Pre-pigmented gels eliminating need for separate colour.
• Faster curing times.

I stay updated with quality innovations as they emerge.

This service suits healthy natural nails when cosmetic reinforcement and a more even surface are wanted. The existing length and nail shape remain the basis. No artificial nail extensions.

The available length is your existing natural nail length. We can trim and shape it for daily use. Artificial length, long tips and extensions are not offered with this manicure.

Im Alltag ist Polygel sehr robust. Was man nach einiger Zeit sieht, ist nicht „kaputt“, sondern schlicht der Rauswuchs.

Nach etwa 3–4 Wochen entsteht am Ansatz eine sichtbare Lücke. Dann ist ein Refill sinnvoll: Wir reduzieren das alte Material, füllen den Ansatz auf und bringen Form und Oberfläche wieder in Balance. Das ist in der Regel schonender, als jedes Mal alles komplett neu zu machen.

• 'Ruins natural nails': No – bad removal does. Proper technique keeps nails healthy.
• 'Feels heavy': No – polygel is much lighter than acrylic.
• 'Only for long nails': No – also used purely for strengthening short nails.
• 'Looks artificial': No – with proper technique, very natural appearance.

After three to four weeks, a gap forms at the base where nail has grown. During infill:

• Nail base area cleaned.
• Existing polygel reduced in thickness.
• Fresh polygel applied to the gap.
• Shape corrected and refined.

Faster and gentler than complete removal and reapplication.

Professional removal process:

• Bulk removed with e-file.
• Remaining residue softened with acetone.
• Gently lifted without forcing.
• Natural nail buffed and moisturised.

Never remove at home. Picking destroys the nail surface and causes real damage.

Ja, man bekommt es wieder ab – aber bitte professionell.

Polygel wird kontrolliert abgefräst und der Rest sanft abgetragen. Wenn man es selbst abknibbelt, nimmt man fast immer Schichten des Naturnagels mit. Im Studio bleibt der Naturnagel darunter in der Regel gut in Form.

This service suits healthy natural nails when cosmetic reinforcement and a more even surface are wanted. The existing length and nail shape remain the basis. No artificial nail extensions.

Lange Zeit gab es im Studio im Grunde zwei Richtungen: Acryl (sehr stabil, aber oft schwerer und „fester“) oder Gel (flexibler, dafür manchmal weniger stabil).

Polygel liegt genau dazwischen: ein Hybrid-Material, das die Stabilität von Acryl mit einem leichteren, geligeren Tragegefühl verbindet. Das Ergebnis sind Nägel, die viel aushalten – ohne klobig zu wirken.

In this service, polygel is used as a cosmetic reinforcement on healthy natural nails. Application and curing follow the product system. It is not nail extension or medical treatment.
