CND LED Lamp Pack of 1

Product Information

This kit was our first experience using an LED lamp (outside of our local nail bar, of course) and we found the experience to be incredibly straightforward and speedy. Not only are nail lamps more convenient, but the best ones come with built-in functionalities such as timer settings, and clever space design so that your hand sits comfortably under the lamp - meaning they're super easy to ensure you're using them correctly at home. Some are even so tiny; you can slot them in your handbag or suitcase. Before we reveal the best ones that are worthy of your cash it’s worth noting that using a lamp often involves exposing your skin to UV rays. So, keep your SPF handy and apply a thin layer to your hands or feet before curing. SPF 30 is a good shout and will help to prevent damage. Which is better, a UV or LED nail lamp? LED lamps tend to offer faster drying than UV ones, meaning that they're safer purely as you're exposing your skin to the light for less time, but both are equally popular and deliver a fresh mani in the comfort of your own home. What nail lamps do salons use?

Then – and this is where it gets a little time-consuming – you have to wait up to 30 minutes for the polish to dry before applying the TOP THAT! GEL Topcoat and curing under the lamp for one minute. Generally, though, UV nail lamps are classified as very low risk and they won't burn your nails if you're using one that has been approved for use. And if you're concerned about the UV exposure that comes with using an LED/UV lamp, you don't need to be. The brand insists that, because this 54W lamp cures really fast, you'll get minimal UV exposure. But if you want to be extra safe, you can apply a high SPF on your hands before use. One of the leading brands in nail care, the Mylee Pro is the home lamp you're likeliest to find in your local nail bar. Salina Néou is a Los Angeles-based nail technician with StyleSeat.

You’ll want to make sure that the beads are well-dispersed throughout the lamp’s inner arch for even curing and drying. In a nutshell: LED lamps can cure gel polish in under 45 seconds, while UV lamps take two or three minutes.

While we're notoriously bad at painting our own nails, the results were much neater than if we had used regular polish. Plus, the top coat leaves you with an incredible shine. We didn't think we'd be able to achieve such an (almost) perfect finish. Nail: The term “nail” refers to the specific area of focus for the brand. It signifies that the brand specializes in nail care, including products and services related to nail enhancement, polish, and overall nail health. Q: Can I use a gel top coat over CND™ Liquid & Powder enhancements instead of buffing to a high shine when finishing?In short: There are pros and cons to each type of lamp. For example, Kandalec explains that “LED lamps cure nails much faster than UV lamps,” in as little as 30 seconds, while UV lamps can take around three minutes to cure nails. However, Néou points out that LED lamps can restrict which polishes you can use, as not all gel polishes are compatible with these devices. UV lamps, she says, can cure almost any gel. Used with the Mylee varnishes (there are around 200 different shades to choose from), the lamp provides a shiny, bump-free finish that lasts. A week in, the manicure has lasted with no annoying peel or lift from the nail and delivers a professional-looking finish that would easily pass for salon results.
