POLYTEK Polymer Gel: The next generation
- 3D Matrix Linking Technology
- Stronger than gels even for hard customers!
- More flexible than acrylics
- Easy to file
- HEMA-free
- No odour
- Flexible working time – cure POLYTEK in the UV/LED lamp
- Reduced refill working time between 15 to 20 minutes
- Idea for sculpting extensions and use with dual-forms
POLYTEK is especially effective for customers who work hard with their hands or have “problem” nails and need a stronger product with excellent adhesion to the natural nail. POLYTEK's higher viscosity makes it a pleasure to sculpt extensions and advanced nail shapes. POLYTEK is compatible with dual-forms.
HEMA-free
Although POLYTEK is not hypoallergenic, it is HEMA-free. This makes POLYTEK especially useful as an alternative to HEMA-based acrylic monomer systems.

This bright white is noticeably different to work with compared to other colours. It's much easier to squeeze out of the tube for starters! It's really easy to work so you can get it into really fine points at the side walls when doing classic french nails.
Owing to the density of pigment you need to remember to cure it for longer and I found it helpful to cure the underside once more after having removed the forms.
With such a high pigment to gel medium ratio I expected it might wear down easily but after two weeks of general abuse all I can see is a very slight rounding out of the pointed almond shape on the thumb of my dominant hand. Barely noticeable and I only used Prima top coat to seal it.
