Gel nail lamps: UV vs LED?

Do you often get a lot of questions about the lamps used in manicure? After all we have talked about the gel application, we should also be clarified with the lamps. Because if you don’t have curing down it doesn’t matter how awesome your application and your nail are, it’s all going to come off. And we definitely don’t want that for ourselves or our clients.

• The first question is: What's the difference?

Here is a picture of a traditional UV lamp. It’s probably the most common that you’ll see especially if you’re just starting out or if you’re looking for a cheap type of lamp. This is the very original one. What a traditional UV lamp really is, is a CFL UV lamp CFL means compact fluorescent. And there is also CCFL which means cool cathode or cool compact. And the fluorescent bulbs in it are what makes it work. This fluorescent light bulb emits a portion of the spectrum of UV light. So with this, you can cure the gels. This lamp was usually used about ten years ago.

But now days, LED has completely taken over. It has a different type of light bulb inside. And LED stands for light emitting diode. You may find some of the LED bulbs have different colors, some are yellow some are transparent. That’s because they have different style of dome over the bulb to spread the light and also to protect the bulbs.

And what important is this is also UV lamp. So you can see the difference, CFL lamps and LED lamps are both UV lamps but with different bulbs. And they both cure gel polish.

• So why are CFL lamps are replaced by LED lamps?

1. LED UV lamps are able to emit the full spectrum of light needed to cure both traditional gels and the newer LED formulas and so they can cure all the gels. So you don’t need to replace the bulbs to cure specific gels. And you can expect it to last five years or more and it almost never lose power.

2. You don’t need to replace the bulbs in LED lamps.

The bulbs in CFL lamps usually need to be changed after six months, because they lose their ability to cure. And LED lamps don’t have that problem.

  3. LED lamps take less time to cure the gels.

How do we choose the right UV nail lamp:

In the past CFL lamps could take up to five minutes to cure traditional gels. But LED lamps with that focus very high penetrating type of light that’s going into the gel, they only need up to 1 minute to cure the gels. So LED lamps not only do faster but also better job.

But because LED lamps doesn’t glow as much as CFL lamps. It’s very focused. So you have to ensure that the number of LED bulbs to be more but also arranged properly, even on the sides. 

• what wattage led lamp do i need for gel nails?

About 36 watts.

the wattage of lamps is divided into 9 watts, 18 watts, 36 watts, 42 watts, the higher the wattage nail hardening speed is faster, but you need to check the relevant information before using.

The light of the nail lamp belongs to the long-wave ultraviolet light, generally does not produce serious damage to the skin, but it does make the skin tanned, aging.

Although it is harmless to take a short time to cure, you should always pay attention to the maintenance of your hands. It is best to apply sunscreen and then do your manicure

how to treat an allergic reaction to gel nail polish

• What causes gel polish allergic reactions?

Allergy to gel polish may be caused by the patient's immune function disorder, the addition of new ingredients to gel polish products, and long-term continuous contact with gel polish that has not been cured, which may lead to the yellowing of nails, brittle nails, or itchy, red and swollen skin, as well as diarrhea and cough.

3. Continuous contact with uncured gel polish:

When gel polish antigen enters the body for the first time, There may not be any allergic reactions, but allergic reactions may occur when nail polish antigen enters the body again. So constant contact with uncured product can cause allergies. And If you come up with an allergy there’s nothing you can do. You are now allergic to this certain chemical in that product. And it could be the same ingredient that’s in an acrylic nails and you could be allergic to that as well.So When there is a sudden allergic reaction to gel polish, you should stop using it, and if necessary, you can use medication under the guidance of a doctor.

How to choose the right color nail polish?

Before choosing a color, you must first consider the effect you want to achieve, after that all in all, even if the color of the nude nail polish is similar, there is still a difference in depth. If you want to make your hands look white, choose a slightly darker polish to whiten your hands. If you want your fingers to look longer, choose a color that is similar to your skin tone to visually create a stretch. In short, don't choose a shade lighter than your skin tone, as this will make your skin look darker than if you didn't use the nail polish. If you like the regular style, just add a layer of gloss oil on top of the nail polish, which will add durability and shine. What's more, choosing a nail polish with shimmer particles or sequins will instantly bring the original understated nude to life. You can also do the opposite and make it a matte finish that looks rough.

gel polish vs regular polish

Regular nail polish: been used for a hundred years. Easy, and affordable.

Gel polish: been used for around 40 years and with some amazing features. Yet it is little high maintenance.

Well, which one is better? How do I choose them?

Regular nail polish:

For starters cost and supplies are very different, for regular nail polish, you don’t really need that much. You need a cuticle stick to push your cuticles back. You need a good file to be able to buff the natural nail and then another file to smooth it. Then you need a little bit of oil to get rid of the dust. Then you can wash your hands. Then you need a base coat, coat of color and a top coat. Finally you are gonna need some time to let it dry.

And as for gel polish, 

It’s basically the same. But you need a compatible lamp that go with the gel polish.

Both polishes begin with pushing back the cuticle. Both applications also require some filing to prep. And oil goes on before nail polish application. But gel polish need more complicated preparation on nails. And that is what makes it last. And after applying the base coat, here comes the biggest advantages for gel polish, the lamp. While regular nail polish are applied, you must to wait for it to dry. It may take 3 to 5 minutes or even more. But for gel polish, when you put your hand in the lamp ,you know between 30 to 60 seconds, It’s completely cured. And that's how you can recover the time you lost in the preparation phase.

Advantages and disadvantages:

And another cool thing about gel is it doesn’t dry as you apply and it also self levels. These are some amazing features that rugular nail polish doesn't have. And It’s going to last at least two weeks on natural nails

But when it comes to remove the nail polish gel polish could get little more tricky. And for regular nail polish, you just need to get yourself some nail polish remover and take some time to wipe it off.

To remove gel polish, you need to first use a nail drill machine to sand it, then continue sanding it with a file, and finally wrap your nail with a nail remover pack. This can take up to 15 minutes or more. But to protect you natural nails, you have no choice.

So here is the conclusion. 

It isn’t a matter of either or it’s just a matter of what service and what type of nail and durability and cost and time of service you are looking for.

How to apply gel polish that's not easy to fall off?

The nail polish is simple and easy to apply, but it starts to fade after a few days on the fingers. The fading of nail polish is a very troublesome problem for us, so can this problem be avoided when applying gel polish? The answer is YES, as long as girls pay attention to the way of applying gel polish, you can color your nails. Keep it up for a long time!

The factors that affect nail fading are the texture of the nail polish, the method of applying the nail polish, and the follow-up maintenance after the manicure.

First of all, we should choose nail polish with less formaldehyde content. The higher the formaldehyde content, the faster the nail polish will dry and fall off, so be careful when choosing.

Second, pay attention to how you apply it. When applying gel polish, you must remember the principle of secondary coloring, that is, after applying the thinner first layer, you should apply a thicker second layer.

Again, after the manicure, maintenance work should be done well. After finishing the manicure, we can apply a layer of nail protection oil on the nails to make the color of the nails more glossy and durable.
