"Polygel Nails: The Viral Manicure Trend Taking the Beauty World by Storm"

Polygel nails, a hybrid between gel and acrylic manicures, are gaining popularity for their strength, flexibility, and natural appearance. The gel formula used in polygel nails is malleable and comes in various colors and finishes. While best applied at a salon, polygel nails are easy to apply and remove, odorless, non-toxic, and versatile. They last until soaked or filed off and require maintenance every 3-4 weeks. The cost of a polygel manicure varies, but most salons charge between $55-$150 for a full set. Proper application and removal are crucial to prevent damage to natural nails. After removal, it is recommended to treat nails with hydrating products to keep them healthy.
