What should be the lamp for drying the gel-varnish?

Many girls dream of a long-lasting manicure. And various companies that produce goods for the nail industry, meet the fairer sex, creating a unique product called gel-varnish. It really keeps on the nails for up to four weeks! Although there is a small spoon of tar. Need a special lamp to dry the gel-varnish, otherwise it just does not dry on the nails. How to choose it, why it is required, how much is it?

Why

The thing is that the gel-lacquer, like the gel for building, has a special polymer in the composition, which polymerizes only under the influence of ultraviolet rays. At the same time, sunlight is not enough. The device for drying gel-varnish can be of several types.

LED-lamp

Not long ago, a special device appeared in the nail industry, which significantly simplified the work of the masters. This LED-lamp for drying gel-varnish, gel, biogel. It is noteworthy that she copes with the work in a matter of seconds, which significantly reduces the time of the procedure of manicure and nail extensions. To dry the material, you only need to turn on the machine, set the timer, if it is, or mark the gap on the hourglass (they are the most accurate). Even a dense and dark gel-varnish dries in 30-40 seconds, not baking and boiling.

UV lamp 9 Watt

This type is considered to be road or home. For example, masters in the salon rarely use such lamps, because you can only dry one hand at a time, and it takes a lot of time. On the average, the transparent gel-lacquer or gel polymerizes about 1-1.5 minutes. At home, this is enough, because there is nowhere to hurry, and it is immediately problematic to apply material to both hands. The travel device for drying the gel-varnish is good because it takes up little space in the bag, you can take it on a trip to correct the manicure on time. Separate in this type of lamps are folding models. They generally can be folded to the size of a small tablet, which will save a lot of space in the bag or suitcase.

36 Watt UV lamp

This model is considered professional, because it provides fast drying of gel, gel-lacquer, biogel. However, the lamp is still inferior to LED-devices. Firstly, although it dries quickly, it takes about 40-50 seconds. Secondly, places need a lot. It is noteworthy that the advantage of a 36-watt lamp is still in comparison with LED-models. You can process both hands at once. That's why most often it is chosen by professionals and craftsmen who often and a lot are engaged in manicure and build-up. The machine for drying gel-lacquer at 36 watts nevertheless shortens the procedure time, and this is important in the work.

How to choose

Choosing an apparatus, it is worth paying attention to several factors. First of all, what type of gel-drying lacquer will be used. If it's LED, then it will be possible to perform manipulations faster. If the usual UV-models, then the operating time will be longer. Second, what you should pay attention to is the size. If there are few places on the table, or if irregular use is planned, it is better to choose small and compact models of 9 watts. For a home manicure this is quite enough, as for a road manicure. The third, which is usually looked at when choosing, is the cost. LED-models are not cheap. On average, one device costs in 2000-3000 rubles. But among the ultraviolet lamps there is enough budget. So, for example, a device of 9 watts will cost 300-500 rubles. At the same time, this does not affect working capacity. Models of 36 watts cost about 1000-2000 rubles.

Where can I buy

In professional offline stores, any devices are more expensive than when ordering online stores. However, they have their own advantage. It is in the purchase when viewing. That is, you can touch, turn on, try the device. Online stores do not give such an opportunity. On the other hand, many people look and check working capacity offline, and then they order the selected device on the network. In this way, you can save yourself from disappointment when you receive an order. Some acquire immediately ready sets on world trading platforms, from abroad, to save on a maximum. Where to buy a lamp, it's up to the customers.

How to use

If the model does not have a built-in timer, then you will have to mark the time on the clock separately. Lamp for drying gel-varnish is easy to use. First, the material is applied to the nails, then the hand is immersed in the apparatus, the work button is pressed. After the necessary time has elapsed (for different gel-varnishes it is different) the device is switched off. It is noteworthy that ultraviolet devices sometimes require replacement of lamps. So, for example, a 9 Watt model does not have problems. You just need to remove one lamp by placing another one. The device in 36 Watts is a little more complicated, because you need to change all the lamps at once, otherwise the device will work unevenly, which will eventually result in manicure. Spare lamps are better to buy in advance, then not to look for a suitable model.
