When you apply gels and acrylics, you need a nail lamp to cure the polish. Fortunately, there are plenty of nail lamps at accessible prices. All you need is to know whether you’re using UV or LED nail polish because they require different types of light to set.
The debate between UV and LED rages on, with LED slowly edging out UV polishes. This change is happening because LED lamps are less costly to use and they are less damaging to the skin. That’s good news for those who do regular manicures.
If you haven’t made the changeover yourself yet, there’s no need to worry. You can still buy nail lamps that cure both types of polish. Even better, many of them are powerful enough for professional use, too.
The SUNUV nail dryer cures both UV and LED gel polishes as well as gem glue. It features both a timer with two settings plus a sensor. The timed settings last for either 30 or 60 seconds while the motion sensor triggers 99 seconds of light.
The bay underneath the lamp is large enough to treat five fingers or toes at once. And the light is closer to white in color than it is to purple. This is an attempt to protect skin cells from damage.
