What brands are you having this issue with? The information would be really helpful for beginners like myself.

Same for me! Only with black

This happens to me but always with white

Just dry first coat longer

Maybe products are not compatible, are you using the same product brands

What is that? I tried googling it and nothing came up for nails just like facial /skin treatments

@@TheNaturalNailGuru 🤣 The whole hander or Nail fairy, lol?!? The former is a lamp that I can fit my entire hand into, not just 4 fingers...The Nail fairy....kinda like the tooth fairy, how I feel when I find gel polishes/ nail care on sale/marked down (the lamp was only $14 and from Color Club). 😃I am my only client, so my natural nails are my "thing"! 💅🏾

@@mkb5984 hmm I can’t find it. Can you link it?? I saw a lamp that somewhat looked like a face mask & could fit in the palm of your hand but you can’t really fit your hand “in” it. You’d have to hold it.

I’m glad the video helped! And definitely make sure to take the time to watch more videos especially for DIY! I promise you will have professional quality manicures done by your self with just a little bit of patience and practice. I keep things simple but 100% effective!!!

Hi! Watch my video “gel polish curing lamps UV versus LED” I go over all the main points. And regular polish will not be affected by either of those lights. only air will dry regular polish 😉

Yes so far my favorite lamp has been the Kiara sky lamp. 👍🏼👍🏼

Nice!

How it turn out

Please see gel inhibition coat and how it affects perception of curing :)

I bought a Modelones fall kit and the polishes wrinkle and peel so bad too. No matter how long I cure.

Omg me too!! The issue is the Modelones kit!@@ashlyn.979

Doh!

This has happened with me on gel paint pots. Canni & another brand so maybe it’s the light but I’m Unsure how my lamp could affect only my gel paints when my product application of gel & such cure fine? But this was some good info!

I just looked online to see if there are any issues and I do notice that it states very specifically it is a UV gel polish which could mean that an LED light will not cure it. The Polish needs a UV light which is odd because these days most gel polish is both UV and LED.

Oh 😯 thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 i will get now a uv light! 🤣🤣 cause the color is to beautiful to pass thank you again!!!

With gel polish you really need to use a gel topcoat. I would suggest making sure the gel polish color is very cured and wiping off the inhibition layer (The sticky residue left behind after the polish is cured, you can remove this with alcohol) before applying a regular topcoat however you really should not mix the two because there could definitely be issues with the wear

It has happened to me not often but I’ve come across products that just don’t work

I face this problem many times that my gel polish not cure can u tell me the solution?

Many times when the gel polish is not curing all the way it’s because the nail lamp is not strong enough could be just a very low wattage lamp that just isn’t strong or could be that the light has already started burning out. When it’s not the LED light it’s the gel polish coats being too thick.

The gel polish should definitely be cured but the layers do have an inhibition layer which is a sticky layer after it cures when I’m doing art I simply wipe the nail with an alcohol wipe just enough to remove the residue, do my art and then topcoat. You can definitely apply a topcoat even Matt topcoat before doing art but unless you’re going for a specific effect definitely not necessary 😉

That happens sometimes and honestly I’m not exactly sure why . Could be debris on the nail plate or in the bottle itself / or application brush. Could be something to do with chemical composition. Def a subject I plan on discussion once I get more info and def how to work with it. Can still get super long lasting mani . Stay tuned 😉

@@TheNaturalNailGuru🤔yeah I even told her to try a different top coat and she didn't she blamed it all on her lamp she said she possibly needs a new one haha...at least she was nice enough to redo the ones that were bad🙂

Lol def not just you!!! DND is a really thick gel polish formula and I’ve definitely had issues with their black polish I had to stop using it because every once in a while it would bubble up and what sucks is you wouldn’t even notice it right away usually would happen at the end of the night or after the shower is taken 😩 but for the most part when in doubt just apply very thin coats and a little extra time to cure … you can test it by touching it before applying the second coat

I definitely don’t know if that’s some thing that could affect the curing of gel polish. I would say pay attention to how the client rests her hands inside the light make sure she is placing her hands completely flat and that she is fully under the light. Some people can be a little I guess you could say lazy with how they put their hands inside the light they are way to relaxed they don’t keep it flat and it can definitely affect the light reaching the nail polish to cure. I have a lot of cold hands in the shop and I haven’t noticed a difference but something I’ll definitely pay attention to 😉

That would concern me for other health reasons. WTF is up with that person that they have such cold fingers? Raynaud’s Syndrome or something? Weird!

@@keirfarnum6811 I was concerned too.

Most of the time it Hass to do with the preparation of your nails before you polish the gel. But you also want to make sure that you were using a high wattage LED lamp 36 or higher wants tends to be very good quality curing anything that is 6 W nine wants and 12 W 10 to not be a very strong cure but if you’re having issues with product completely popping off the nail plate it really has to do more with the nail prep definitely check out my videos on polishing to perfection and waterless manicure I’ll be touching up on the subjects really soon but those go through my manicure process and what you need to ensure a good long lasting manicure

If it is a gel polish it definitely needs an LED light to cure some might specifically need a UV light but these days all gel polish are pretty much LED light and UV light compatible.

More than likely!

It probably is dry however it needs to be wiped

It’s a pain in the butt but definitely make sure that the coats are super thin and that your light is strong enough. If the light is either too low in Wantage or is already been used for a long time and losing its juice it cures too slow and spotty

@@TheNaturalNailGuru Thanks soo much

White polish tends to be a super thick consistency so you want to make sure you apply a very thin basecoat and very thin coats of color super thin.

Also make sure that your light has not worn out it might still turn on but no longer have the same power so it cures slower and with less intensity which can also contribute to wrinkling

Thank you so much, my polish is super thick I tried not adding base coat but its still the same I just will have to buy a new one, but thank you so so much for caring ❤️

That’s definitely not something that should be happening and I reviewed model ones product some of their product didn’t have any issues. If you can send me pictures to my IG I’d love to see what the issue is and maybe I can help you with that @oh_my_gel Maybe send me some pics of the products that you got with the kit and what the coat of nail polish looks like after you put it under the light

@@TheNaturalNailGuru it might take me a couple of days, but I will do my best to do that, I haven’t been on IG in ages lol, but I’d love to know what I’m botching up, because I want to make several sets for my daughter, she’s an amazing woman that works everyday while raising her 11, and 14 year old sons, their dad has had a lot off issues after a horrendous attack a few years ago where he was shot multiple times due to a road rage incident. She doesn’t have time to pamper herself, so I wanted to giver her several custom sets of press on nails so when she is meeting with her insurance clients, or officiating a wedding, or selling a car at the dealership she manages she can just press and go!

Their products should work with the light they supply. Contact them and let them know.

That darn pinky as well 😁

I know this was an older video and even now I have a big warehouse space so sound continues to be a struggle but I promise I’m working on it!

Yes definitely. I have been using gel for a really long time and I have only come across one color that just wouldn’t cure, pump up the volume by OPI. such a beautiful color but man it was a bitch to cure almost impossible at times I had to get rid of it but if your gel is not curing it is more than likely be lamp. You don’t need anything expensive, LED is the best, you can find them on Amazon for under $50 I have reviewed some but they are always changing what’s available just make sure it is 35w or above for me that’s the only difference I look at

Yellow definitely tends to be a very pigmented color so the thicker the gel polish consistency is the more likely you are to feel the heat spike. The best you can do to minimize and possibly avoid it completely is making sure to apply thin coats and tempering the cure which means put your hand in the light and after one second of it being on take it out wait two or three seconds put it back in for a second or two take it out and repeat that process four or five times before just leaving your hand in there to finish curing.

But applying thin coats is essential to making sure that it cures properly without wrinkling

saviland

tried 2 lights professional

maybe its outdated its Not hardening

brand new and not thick coats, is it the product

“Pump up the volume” from OPi was the same issue for me 🙄 I remember having Tagus in that selfie a few years back but I don’t remember having any issues with it. It was a few yrs ago…. OPI with as big and established as it is should really not be having this issue at all. 😬
