UV GEL mixed with Acrylics – cure queries

Pregunta:

What is your opinion on UV Gels that are mixed with Acrylic Powders that are specifically “pigmented” in regards to getting a full cure? I have noticed I must apply these products (they have a lot of names but are sometimes called poly-gels, gel clays, sculpting gels, etc.) in very thin layers when pigmented in order for the product to actually become hard all the way through. What I find worrying is that there is a narrative being spread that it’s okay for these products to be under-cured (a thick ball with an under-cured center is being said that no chemicals will seep out).

Contesta:

It has been proved that under-cured coatings DO leech out during wear!

Pregunta:

What I thought to be true was that any under-cured gel can seep out. Another narrative being spread as well is that these pigmented products will cure no matter how thick they are applied, and nail influencers are saying “just cure them longer”.

Contesta:

Curing longer will help. But any coating (pigmented or not will have difficulty in a proper cure if it is applied too thickly

Como de costumbre, las instrucciones de los fabricantes y el uso de un sistema adaptado deben ser precisos. Pero está claro que algunas marcas no realizan las pruebas adecuadas para garantizarlo. Elija marcas de confianza en las que sea muy probable que se hayan realizado pruebas, o incluso pida pruebas de las mismas.

Pregunta: Capas de más de 1 mm no curan en mi experiencia y veo NailTok mostrando bolas de 5-10 mm de espesor. Quiero ser muy claro estoy hablando de estos productos que son pigmentados, por lo que la luz no es tan capaz de penetrar, no las versiones claras de estos productos.

Contesta:

Estoy de acuerdo. Los revestimientos opacos aplicados en capas gruesas tienen pocas probabilidades de curarse correctamente y, por tanto, de sufrir pérdidas o problemas al retirarlos.
