A needfor speed


The growing popularity of gel manicures means an increased need for fuss-free and practical equipment. With LED lamps offering a quick curing time, we discover more about how they work.


Gel manicures are fast becoming a necessity for busy, working women. It’s a treatment they can fit into their lunch hour, and it provides them with glossy, chip-free polish for weeks.


The longer lasting results gained from a gel manicure are largely down to the technology of the nail curing lamps. A staple piece of equipment for the majority of nail technicians, the lamps


are available as either UV (Ultra Violet) or LED (Light Emitting Diode).


After an application of a gel polish, the client places their hand underneath the lamp, and the light then reacts with the polish for a quicker ‘curing’ time, meaning the polish sets and hardens faster.


Although a UV lamp is perhaps the most traditional choice for nail technicians, LED lamp technology is increasing in popularity, offering nail technicians a great alternative.


So what is LED? “Every light comes in a different wavelength,” say The Beauty School. “Visible lights have a wavelength between 400 and 700 nanometers. UV light goes beyond what the human eye can see, and it happens at a wavelength from 100 to 400 nanometers. The light instead has a narrowed light spectrum that goes from 370 to 380 nanometers, this condition allows the light to emit the right amount needed to cure LED
