When it comes to UV gel manicures, having the right lamp is crucial. But with so many options on the market, choosing the right one can be difficult. In this article, we'll go over everything you need to know to find the perfect UV lamp for your gel nails.

First things first: What is UV gel?


UV gel is a type of nail polish that is cured using UV light. This type of polish is known for being longer-lasting and more resistant to chipping and peeling than traditional nail polish. However, in order for the polish to cure properly, you need to make sure that your lamp has the correct wattage.
