Smart Sensor Operation
The lamp features an automatic smart sensor. Once plugged in, simply place your hand or foot into the lamp, and it will automatically turn on. The curing process will begin, and the timer will start counting up if no preset time is selected, or count down from the selected time. Removing your hand or foot will automatically turn off the lamp.
Manicure and Pedicure Use
For pedicures, the base of the lamp is removable. Gently pull the base downwards to detach it from the main unit. This allows for comfortable placement of your foot under the lamp for curing. Reattach the base by aligning it and pushing upwards until it clicks into place.
Gel Polish Application Steps
- Prep: Clean and prep nails. Apply a thin layer of base coat.
- Cure: Place nails under the lamp and cure according to the base coat manufacturer's instructions (typically 30-60 seconds).
- Color: Apply a thin layer of your chosen gel polish color. Cure under the lamp. Repeat for additional coats as desired.

Troubleshooting
Gel Polish Application FAQs

Figure 6: Common questions and answers regarding gel polish application and curing.
- Why Won't My Gel Polish Cure?
- It is completely normal for the base coat and color gel polish to be slightly 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.
- 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.
- 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 and do not apply your gel polish too thick.
