Acrygel | Polygel
GLOSS Acrygel/Polygel combines the structure of acrylic with the easy work-time of gel — no monomer odor, no rushing. Sculpt, extend and refill with full control. Our medium-viscosity formula holds its shape on the form, smooths out cleanly with slip solution, and cures hard under UV/LED.
Ideal for sculpted extensions, structured overlays, and refills. Use with GLOSS nail forms and slip solution for clean, salon-grade results. Available in clear, neutral, blush and other natural shades.
How to Use

- Squeeze a bead of acrygel onto the nail form or directly on the nail.
- Dip your brush in slip solution and shape the bead into the desired length and structure.
- Cure for 60–90 seconds. File and refine to the final shape.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between acrygel, polygel, and builder gel?
Acrygel and polygel are different brand names for the same type of product — a hybrid formula that combines the structure of acrylic with the easy work-time and odor-free application of gel. Builder gel is a thinner, more fluid gel formula used for overlays and short extensions. Acrygel/polygel is better for sculpting significant length.
Do I need slip solution to work with GLOSS Acrygel?
Yes. Use a slip solution or isopropyl alcohol (70%+) to shape and sculpt the acrygel before curing. This prevents the product from sticking to your brush. Do not substitute water — it will degrade the formula.
What shades is GLOSS Acrygel available in?
GLOSS Acrygel is available in Clear, Neutral, and Blush — the three most-used shades for nail extensions. Each shade is available in 15 ml and 30 ml tubes.
How long does an acrygel set last?
With proper application and nail prep, an acrygel set lasts 3–6 weeks before a fill is required, depending on the client’s nail growth rate and lifestyle.
Does GLOSS Acrygel have an acrylic smell?
No. Unlike traditional acrylic powder and monomer, GLOSS Acrygel is completely odor-free during application. This makes it much more comfortable to use in a salon environment and removes the need for heavy ventilation.
Can I apply gel polish over acrygel extensions?
Yes. After sculpting and curing the acrygel, apply GLOSS Rubber Base, your chosen gel polish color, and seal with GLOSS Top Coat as you would on any natural nail service.
