Lola Lee Dura Gel
HEMA free, and it works to your clock rather than its own. A gel and acrylic hybrid, sometimes called polygel or acrylgel. It has a putty consistency, so it stays exactly where you put it until you cure it, and works over the natural nail, on forms, or on tips. Applied over Dura Gel Base Coat. Five shades in 60g tubes.

Is Dura Gel the same as polygel?
Yes. Polygel, acrylgel and Dura Gel all describe the same category: a gel and acrylic hybrid that comes out of the tube as a putty rather than a liquid, and cures under a lamp instead of air drying.
Dura Gel or acrylic?
Acrylic sets on its own, which means you work to its clock. Dura Gel does not cure until you put it under the lamp, so you can shape, adjust and start again without racing anything. For a tech still building speed on structure, that is the difference between a clean apex and a compromise.
It is also lighter on the natural nail, and it does not fill the room with monomer. If you work from home or share a space, that matters more than any spec on the tube.
What you need to start
Dura Gel is applied over Dura Gel Base Coat, so the two go together. Beyond that you need slip solution, a Dura Gel brush and a dappen dish. If you are extending rather than overlaying, add forms or tips and a nail clip. All of it is on this page.
