Good to know
Which lamp do I need?
Semi-cured Gel Wraps cure in about 60 seconds under any UV/LED nail lamp, including our R140 Mini USB UV Lamp. UV Free Gel Wraps and Press-Ons need no lamp at all.
Which is best for a first-timer?
Press-Ons if you want the easiest possible start, or UV Free Gel Wraps if you'd like more days of wear on your natural nail length. Both need no lamp.
