Nail enthusiasts often wonder, “Can I cure regular nail đánh bóng in a UV/Đèn LED?” 
The short answer is no, but the long answer requires a deeper dive into why this is not an ideal practice. While gel polishes are designed specifically for UV/LED chữa bệnh, traditional nail polish is formulated differently. Let’s explore this topic in detail, covering the science, risks, and alternatives.

What Is the Difference Between Regular Nail Polish and Gel Polish?

Before understanding if you can cure nail polish in a lamp, it’s important to grasp the fundamental difference between regular nail polish and sơn gel.

  • Traditional Nail Polish: This air-drying polish relies on solvent evaporation to harden. It contains no ingredients that react to UV/LED light.
  • Sơn Gel: This is a special formula designed to cure under UV or LED light. Gel polish contains chất khởi tạo quang học that activate under light exposure, causing the polish to harden almost instantly.

Traditional nail polish simply doesn’t have the hóa chất components necessary to benefit from UV/LED exposure. Trying to use a lamp with traditional polish is merely a fruitless exercise. Some UV/LED lamps emit warmth/heat that may support the evaporation of the polish dung môi to a small degree or this method may be used to keep a client with a fidgety hand to remain still, but either way does not assist the overall drying of the polish. 

Can You Put Regular Nail Polish in a UV/LED Lamp?

Technically, you Có thể place traditional nail polish in a UV/LED lamp, but it will not cure it properly. Traditional polish needs air to gradually evaporate its solvents, and a UV/LED lamp would only speed up the solvents evaporating if the lamp is emitting any warmth. This may create a superficial drying effect on the top layer of polish, leaving the bottom layers wet and soft.

If the căn cứ layers aren’t dry, this can lead to:

  • Smudging
  • Uneven texture
  • Short-lived manicures

What Are the Risks of Using a UV/LED Lamp on Regular Nail Polish?

Using a UV/LED lamp with regular nail polish isn’t just ineffective; it can also come with risks.

  1. Prolonged Drying Times
    Instead of speeding up the drying process, UV/LED exposure might leave your polish tacky for longer, as it interrupts the natural evaporation process.
  2. Discoloration or Degradation
    Regular polishes are not designed for UV exposure and may break down or change colour when subjected to UV/LED light.
  3. Damaging Your Lamp
    Over time, using traditional nail polish in a lamp simply is a waste of the lamp’s working hours, which is best saved for the gel products it was designed for.

Why Do Some Professionals Use Traditional Polish with UV/LED Lamps?

You may have seen thợ làm móng applying traditional nail polish with UV/LED lamps and wonder how they make it work. The trick lies in the technique.
Some professionals use a “gel sandwich” method, where they:

  1. Apply a gel lớp sơn lót and cure it.
  2. Add a thin layer of regular nail polish and let it air-dry fully (Which takes time).
  3. Seal with a gel lớp phủ trên cùng and cure.

This method allows for the use of regular colours, however, it’s important to note that the regular polish must be completely dry before applying gel layers. Even light dampness can cause bubbling, peeling, or nâng, it is certainly not a fully trusted method. It is always best practice to use products according to the manufacturer’s instructions vs playing chemist with professional products. 

What Is the Best Alternative to Curing Regular Nail Polish?

If you want the benefits of a UV/LED làm móng tay while using traditional polish, there are safer and more effective methods:

  • Hybrid Polishes
    Some brands offer hybrid sơn móng tay designed for UV/LED curing. These products combine the thinner, swifter removal, and flexibility experienced with regular polish with the durability of gel.
  • Quick-Dry Top Coats & sprays
    If you’re looking to speed up drying times, a quick-dry top coat for traditional polish is a better option than using a UV/LED lamp. Also available are quick dry drops or sprays which speed up the evaporation of the solvents within the polish. 
  • Application Methods 

Get the best results and fast dry times by elevating your application methods. Ensure the nail is clean and dry, ready for the polish to be applied, applying in multiple thin layers, allowing each layer to almost dry, preventing any postman blunders.    

What Happens If You Use the Wrong Product in a UV/LED Lamp?

If you use a product not designed for UV/LED curing in a lamp, several things can go wrong:

  • Incomplete Curing: The polish may remain soft or sticky, resulting in smudging.
  • Bubbling or Lifting: Improper curing can cause air pockets that weaken the manicure.
  • Wasted Time: You won’t achieve the long-lasting, glossy finish you expect from gel polishes.

Final Verdict: Can You Cure Nail Polish in a Lamp?

While it’s tempting to use a UV/LED lamp for regular nail polish, the results won’t be what you’re hoping for. Traditional polishes are not designed for curing under UV/LED light, and attempting to do so can lead to disappointing results and potential risks.

If you’re looking for the durability and shine of gel nails, it’s best to stick with products formulated for UV/LED curing. Alternatively, use hybrid polishes to combine the best of both worlds.

For a flawless manicure, the right tools and products make all the difference. Now you know the science and risks behind curing regular nail polish in a UV/LED lamp—so you can make the best choice for your nails!

Photoinitiators<\/div>
\n

A\u00a0photoinitiator\u00a0is a molecule that creates reactive species (free radicals,\u00a0cations\u00a0or\u00a0anions) when exposed to radiation (UV or visible). Photoinitiators use UV energy to initiate the polymerization process.<\/p>\n
\n

Synthetic photoinitiators are key components in\u00a0photopolymers\u00a0(i.e., photo-curable coatings like UV gels, adhesives, and dental restoratives).<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_47ffca807399854a8cf9ed917af26471":"

Gel polish<\/div>
\n

Gel polish is a type of nail polish that is cured under UV or LED light to create a hard, durable and glossy coating. It is a two-step process that involves applying a base coat, followed by the gel polish color, and then finishing with a top coat. <\/p>\n
\n

The gel polish is composed of a mixture of monomers, oligomers, pigments, and other additives that polymerize when exposed to light. This creates a strong bond with the natural nail, making the manicure long-lasting and resistant to chipping, peeling and cracking. <\/p>\n
\n

Gel polish is typically removed by soaking the nails in acetone, and is a popular choice for people looking for a low-maintenance, high-shine manicure.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_d0f1ec027a1fbd229cfbb457151e05df":"

A chemical is a form of matter that can exist as a gas, a solid, a liquid or plasma. Everything in the universe is a chemical except for energy: heat and light. We are made of 100% chemicals; the air is full of chemicals; water is a chemical. Marketing terms that use \u2018chemical free\u2019 are misleading and just wrong. NOTHING except energy is chemical free. It is a way for marketers to provide a false sense of security that is, plainly, unethical.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_c0fe0b3a4644dbc02acdaadbe8507e77":"

Base Coat<\/div>
Nail Base Coat\n

Base coats are used in nail coatings and are designed to have good adhesion to the nail plate. In a traditional nail polish it can also prevent any staining by the colour coating.

It is essential to use with a UV gel system (unless the specific brand has been formulated with its own adhesion properties) as it will adhere to the nail plate and also to the subsequent layers.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_e4531ac60c2cb1fbabc9f3c62c5f342c":"

Solvents<\/div>
\n

Solvents (in the context of nail products as water is a solvent) are chemicals such as acetone, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, butyl acetate, toluene. They are able to dissolve certain products or break their bonds. They are commonly used in nail polishes and nail polish removers. They are usually volatile and are the method used to dry nail polish as they keep the product liquid until they are exposed air and will evaporate and leave the pigments and other ingredients (such as plastisers etc) as a nail coating. They are also used in nail plate dehydrators to cleanse and degrease the nail in the preparation for a coating application.<\/p>\n
\n

Pathogens (with the possible exception of fungal spores) are unable to survive in a product with a high level of solvents. This is why it is safe to use nail polish on several clients without spreading any pathogens<\/p>\n

Top Coat<\/div>
\n

This refers to a nail product that is the final layer of a nail coating. It can be a traditional nail polish or a UV gel polish. The formulation will allow it to withstand scratches and be tougher than colour coats. It is essential to use in UV gel polish systems but optional in traditional nail polishes. A top coat can also be used over a liquid and powder coating to give it extra shine. Top coats usually have a high shine but there are also many alternatives e.g. matte, shimmer, slightly pigmented etc<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_be33e2937f9f182702984fbbe290b775":"

Lifting<\/div>
\n

When adhesion of a nail coating to the nail plate breaks down because the nail coating has reached the end of its lifecycle.
When the nail coating has also been applied to the nail plate but touched the skin, the movement of the nail plate causes a fracture in the coating and water and or oil can get underneath the coating and lift it from the nail plate.
When the client has had some kind of accident \u2013 banged his\/her nail coating and caused it to fracture or break allowing water and or oil to get underneath.
When the nail plate is not properly cleaned or prepared before application then the nail coating will not adhere well to the nail plate and lift away.
It\u2019s important to spot this in time and replace or repair the nail coating to prevent infections from 'Pseudomonas Aeruginosa' or White Superficial Onychomycosis taking hold.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_f94935a711b0f2d9c1ea8eb861281cd1":"

Polish<\/div>

Cure \/ Curing<\/div>
\n

This is the term used to describe the polymerization process for the acrylics (whether uv gels or l&p systems) used in nail coatings. A 'proper cure' is what should be achieved which is when, at least, 80% of the coating has been polymerised. Anything less than this is considered to be 'under-cured' and can cause an allergic reaction. \"Over-curing\" would be when the nail coating is cured in a lamp that has a stronger output than what the manufacturer recommends, and it will make the nail coating brittle.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_4eb428598c1d8f289e6897779124e77d":"

UV Gel<\/div>
