Is it good to use UV light on nails?

Exposure to UV radiation can cause damage to your skin, especially if you’re exposed over time. For example, it can lead to premature wrinkles, age spots, and even skin cancer. But the FDA views nail curing lamps as low risk when used as directed by the label.

What watt UV nail lamp is best?

The minimum wattage necessary to cure gel nails is 24-36. If you have to purchase a 36-watt lamp, 4 bulbs of 9 watt each will be ideal for you. If you want to lessen the time of curing the nails, then you can opt for heavy wattage lamps as well.

Can you dry normal nail polish with LED lamp?

No, regular nail polish requires air drying, whereas gel polish contains a polymer that must be ‘cured’ by a UV or LED lamp for it to become hard. Regular nail polishes can’t be used with UV or LED lamps and it won’t dry any quicker from being put under the lamp.

How do I choose a UV nail lamp?

Picking a nail lamp is dependent on the gel polishes you use. The gel polishes you use will either be LED or UV. LED lamps only cure LED specific gel polish brands whereas a UV lamp will cure most gel polishes. But the LED lamp is much faster than the UV lamp.
