💅✨ FACT OF THE WEEK: GEL DOESN’T DRY… IT CURES! ✨💗

Did you know there’s actually a difference between drying and curing? 👀

Regular nail polish dries when the solvents in the polish evaporate into the air. Gel polish works completely differently! 💅🏼

Gel products contain ingredients called photoinitiators, which react when exposed to the correct UV/LED light. This starts a chemical reaction called curing, which hardens the gel and turns it into the durable coating we all know and love. ✨

💡 So why is proper curing SO important?

If gel isn’t cured correctly, it may not fully harden. This can affect how well your manicure lasts and can leave uncured product underneath the surface.

That’s why as a nail tech, I always make sure I’m using the correct lamp, correct curing time and appropriate application thickness for the products I’m using. 💗

And remember — more time under the lamp doesn’t always mean better curing! The lamp needs to be compatible with the gel system being used.

✨ Proper curing = a safer, stronger and longer-lasting manicure.

So next time someone says their gel “needs to dry”… you can tell them:

“Gel doesn’t dry — it CURES!” 💅🏼✨

Did you know the difference? 👀💗
