Using Lit Gels well.

Simple guidance for wearing your set beautifully—and taking it off just as gently.

Are your nail strips simple to take off?

Yes, the adhesive in our strips can be removed with cuticle oil or acetone-free remover. They are made to be effortlessly removed without causing any harm to your natural nails.

Lamps · 04

A little light on curing.

What to use, what your mini lamp can do, and when a full-size lamp is the better tool.

Do the mini lamps fully cure Lit Gels?

Yes! Our mini lamps are designed for semi-cured gel (SCG) nail strips and will fully cure them.

Can I use the mini lamp for liquid gels or top coats?

We don’t recommend it. The mini lamps are not designed for liquid gels such as base coats, builder gels, or top coats. For these products, you’ll get the best results with a full-size professional LED/UV lamp.

What specs should I look for in a full-size lamp?

For liquid gels, we recommend a lamp with at least 36W power and a 365–405 nm wavelength range to ensure even and complete curing.

How often should I replace my lamp?

All lamps gradually lose curing strength. For reliable results, replace your lamp every 6–12 months with regular use.
