Collection: Magic Extender Gel
Lengthen, strengthen and sculpt with Mylee Magic Extender Gel, our poly gel formula that combines the strength of acrylic with the ease of gel. It applies smoothly and evenly, so you can shape the length and finish you want before curing under a Mylee LED lamp. Vegan, HEMA-free and TPO-free, and available in a range of shades to wear on their own or under colour.
Poly gel, made easy
Poly gel sits between a hard acrylic and a soft gel: lightweight and flexible like gel, but strong enough to build real length like acrylic, without the strong fumes of liquid-and-powder systems. Shape it over a dual form or the natural nail, then cure to set. It's a natural step up from our builder gel, and part of the wider nail extensions range.
Applying and finishing
Prep the nail, place a bead of gel, then shape it with a spatula and a little slip solution before curing under a Mylee LED lamp. Once cured, file to refine the shape and finish with a top coat for shine, or add a colour over the top. Work in manageable amounts for the smoothest result.
