Polygel nail extensions typically last between 3 to 4 weeks with proper application and maintenance, offering a durable yet flexible alternative to acrylics. While they can last up to 3 weeks without issues, they often require infills every 2–3 weeks to manage natural growth and prevent lifting.
Key Factors for Longevity:
Maintenance: Proper care, such as using cuticle oil and avoiding using nails as tools, extends their lifespan.
Durability: Polygel is resistant to acetone, but requires filing or soaking for removal.
Signs for Replacement: Noticeable gap at the cuticle, lifting, or feeling heavy indicate it is time for a fill or new set.
