Regular nail polish manicures are becoming less popular day by day as alternative finishes have emerged that last much longer. For a modern woman living in the fast-paced metropolis, the durability of a manicure is very important. Because the time saved on going to the salon can be spent differently and with great pleasure. And during the holiday season, shellac or gel polish for pedicures becomes very popular, as everyone wants to relax on vacation and not care about anything else.
In different salons, you can get different results from such a service - it depends not only on the level of skill of the one who makes the coating, but also on the equipment for polymerization, i.e. hardening. For drying shellac, gel polish, biogel, a special UV lamp is used. Coated nails are placed in it for a few minutes.
How to choose an inexpensive, yet optimal option for the job? The lower the lamp power, the lower its price, but the longer the time for the applied layer to harden. Accordingly, the more time it takes for one client, so buying a small UV lampcapacity is irrational in terms of labor costs. In addition, some low-power lamps of 9 watts are not able to dry the coating efficiently, which subsequently leads to its rapid flaking, which can lead to a rapid loss of customers. The only plus of such a device is its compactness, but it is also a minus, because. drying shellac on your feet will no longer work.
The most convenient and at the same time affordable UV lamp for nails - 36 watts. Four 9-watt bulbs dry each coat in an average of two minutes. It is larger in size, which allows it to be used for a pedicure. You can find an option in which such a UV lamp is made with a retractable bottom, which will provide even more convenience when drying shellac on the legs, since when placing the foot in the apparatus there is a risk of smearing the coating.
Of course, there is a UV lamp with more power, but if the price of the device is a priority, then 36 watts is enough.
Such devices are produced in various shapes and colors, which allows you to choose the device to match the interior of the salon or based on the preferences of the master. This UV nail lamp can be used both in salons and at home.
For convenience, some models can be equipped with a timer for 90 and 120 seconds. A professional may not need it, although after turning off the lamp, the client can turn on the device himself by changing his hand. For beginners, the timer is useful for greater confidence in the result, because. breach of technology orinsufficient holding time required for polymerization can lead to rapid peeling of the coating. Connection of a lamp does not demand additional devices, it works from a network. The price at which a UV lamp can be purchased starts at about one thousand rubles and ends at three thousand, depending on the model, which can be equipped with a retractable bottom and a timer.
