Important Information About Gel Curing

• It is normal for the base coat and color gel to be a little sticky after drying. This "tacky layer" helps subsequent layers of polish adhere fully and firmly to the nail.
• Only the top coat will be fully cured and dried to a non-tacky finish. This is normal and expected.
• Nail polish needs to maintain its brightness, so it won’t dry out completely until the final top coat is applied and cured.
• Do not apply gel polish too thick to avoid issues with curing and potential stinging sensations.

Gel Polish Application FAQs

1. Why Won’t My Gel Polish Cure?
   • It is completely normal for the base coat and color gel polish to be a little sticky after drying - this helps each layer of polish adhere fully and firmly to the nail.
   • Only the top coat will fully cure and dry, giving you beautiful, salon quality nails.
   • Our SUNUV nail lamps are designed to cure and dry gel polishes only, not regular nail polish. For regular nail polish, please use a fan or air dry.
2. Help! My Gel Polish Is Taking Too Long To Dry.
   • Curing time varies for each gel polish brand. Look at the recommended curing time for your specific polish and dry accordingly.
   • We advise applying a thin layer of polish and curing each layer for 30-60 seconds. Avoid applying gel polish too thick.
3. How Do I Avoid My Gel Polish From Stinging?
   • Make sure you clean up any gel polish that may have gotten on your skin or cuticles before curing.
   • Do not apply your gel polish too thick. If a stinging sensation occurs, remove your hand from the lamp for a few seconds, then reinsert.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SUNUV SUN9C Nail Lamp.

• Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe the interior and exterior surfaces of the lamp with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the cloth for stubborn residue, avoiding direct contact with the LED beads.
• Storage: Store the lamp in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the lamp or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this may damage the internal components or LED beads.
• Power Cord: Always unplug the lamp by grasping the plug, not the cord. Do not use if the power cord is damaged.
