How to shape coffin nails with poly gel?

The poly gel used for coffin nails is a resin that is mixed with quick setting cement. It is used to create a smooth surface in which the nails are driven into the wood. After adding water, it can be shaped into the design of your choice and left to set. The consistency of the gel is such that it is easy to work with, and when it hardens, it forms a thin, glossy surface layer.

How to shape coffin nails with cold gel?

The cold gel coffin nail shapers are a better choice for the smaller fingers. You can use this to shape the corners of the nail to a rounded look. The shapers are thin and flexible, so you will need some practice to get the hang of it. Simply insert the shaper into the corners of the nail, mold it to a rounded shape, and pull it out. You will be able to see the corners better if you wet your nails.

How to get coffin nails to shape?

To make sure the poly gel can work properly, first clean and dry the coffin nails and then apply a thin layer of the gel to each nail. Let it dry completely before painting them with oil-based sealer. When the gel is dry, you can shape the nails to whatever shape you want.

How to shape coffin nails with white glue?

You can also use white glue to shape the nails. You can even add color using a water-based colorant, such as artist’s acrylics or artist’s oil color. This gives your nails a more detailed design and can really help them blend in with the wood of the coffin. Once the glue is dry, use your file to smooth off the rough edges.

How to create coffin nail shapes?

First, dip the nail file into the gel. Then, gently run the file along the length of the nail to create a curved or pointed shape. Repeat this step along the length of the entire nail, but make sure to keep the edges straight. Use the file to create more of a flat or rounded shape. If the nail is too thick, use sandpaper to thin it by a few tenths of a millimeter.
