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.

I'm too embarrassed to post details of the Polygel product disasters I've experienced and should have known better,..was delighted to use this technology but my allergic reactions were awful, - took a while to realise the cause wasn't infection but rejection of the product. Received my delivery today and applied on 2 nails. Not only do they feel like my own instead of some alien stick on, but file and look like a real nail. Whilst these are aimed at a hypoallergenic market, for beauticians out there it's an outstanding product ,- classy, easy sculpting, with a refined noticeable result, love it!

I spend a lot of time building acrylic sets and although I’ve dabbled with acygels before I’ve not felt an urge to put away my L&P. I have three or four brands shoved in a drawer now, too sticky to work, too easily tending to form air bubbles, impossible to get out of the tube...
Being so impressed by other products in the IkoniQ range I thought I would give this a try.
Wow!
Creamy texture, malleable without needing to be over wet, flattens and spreads really nicely and there’s no great tendency to form bubbles. All this and it’s a total dream to file, really quick and easy.
Two weeks in and it’s passing the *tough* test on my own nails with flying colours. I’m pretty hard on my nails and so far no damage or lifting.
I think I might try converting some of my acrylics ladies over to this.
