Dual Forms for Poly Extension Gel
Skip the paper tips and try these reusable dual forms. They’re made of ABS plastic and resistant to damage and frequent cleaning. They’re tough enough for professionals and easy for home use, too.
In our store, we have forms for the most popular nail shapes and lengths. Each kit contains fifteen different sizes to fit all fingertips. Each form is numbered from 0-14, making them easy to organize.
What’s interesting is that the forms are not stiff but flexible, so they are easy to remove once the material is cured. Then just wipe them with nail cleaner and use them again.
How to Use Dual Forms
The first step to use dual forms is selecting the shape and sizes you want. Notice that these molds have markings to simplify creating the same length for each nail.
Hold the form against the fingertip and make sure the size matches the natural nail. There should be just a hair width of overlap. Line up the forms in the order you’ll be using them.
Now that you’ve selected the sizes, determined the shape and the length, it’s time to fill in the form with poly gel.
After you’ve prepped the natural nails and applied a gel base coat, select the color of poly gel you want to use. There are clear and sheer shades, and all of them can be painted with gel polish or simply finished with a top coat.
LAVIS poly extension gel is premixed and packaged in tubes. Squeeze a pea-size amount onto the base of the form. You’ll notice that unlike acrylic, there’s no strong odor. Moreover, this poly extension gel won’t dry until cured so you have plenty of time to practice.

You’ll need a brush and slip solution, which is made of rubbing alcohol, to sculpt the poly gel. The slip solution does just as it sounds – it keeps the gel from sticking to the brush. It lets you press and shape the gel inside the form.
What is poly gel? It combines the best of two worlds: acrylic and builder gel. It’s non-toxic, with safe ingredients, and cures in sixty seconds in a nail lamp. Then, a poly gel manicure will last up to four weeks.

Once you’ve applied poly gel inside the form and smoothed it, flip the form and press it into place on the natural nail. Start at the base and angle down toward the tip. While holding the form firmly in place, use an LED or UV lamp to cure the gel.
On a side note, we have compact, rechargeable nail lamps that are powerful enough to cure poly gel or any other gel product right through the dual form. They have a digital display showing the countdown and two timer presets.

After curing, pinch the sides of the dual form and twist. It will pop off the newly sculpted extension. Don’t worry about breaking the extension or damaging the dual form, both are very tough!
You’ll likely need to file off a few rough edges. But the good news is that you can shape poly extension gel with just a nail file, no drill needed.
It’s just that quick and easy to do extensions with dual forms. You can customize the length and even create custom color blends, like pink and white French tips right in the mold. Keep reading to see how it’s done with builder gel.
How to Use Dual Forms with Builder Gel
Here the artist filled part of the dual form with pink builder gel and part with white for instant ombre French tips. Builder gel in the jar is another product that’s an ideal companion for dual forms.
Builder Gel in the Jar
It’s only hard gel after it’s cured. Even so, builder gel in the jar is flexible and resistant to peeling and chipping. It has a medium thickness that suits overlays and extensions that protect the natural nails while they grow.
What’s more, after you sculpt extensions with builder gel and dual forms, you can customize them further with more texture like bows, hearts, teddy bears, and more. Builder gel in the jar can do it all. It lasts up to four weeks like poly gel, plus it’s also low odor and non-toxic.
How to Choose Dual Forms
Browse our selection of dual forms and you’ll see boxes of clear plastic molds sorted by size. Each compartment in the box has multiple pieces for each fingertip so that every hand has a perfect fit.
Each form is numbered, so they are easy to keep track of and put away when you’re done. Most styles also have lines to help you achieve a consistent length. And every dual form automatically creates beautifully arched nails with minimal filing needed after curing.
The hardest part of choosing dual forms might be deciding between shapes. Would you prefer almond or stiletto? Maybe square or oval? There’s always coffin or round. It’s a good thing dual forms are not expensive so that you can take home all your favorites!
