Using a mini nail lamp is straightforward; typically, you plug it in and press the power button to start a timer, which is usually 45 or 60 seconds, depending on how many times you press the button.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Plug it in: Connect the mini nail lamp to a power source.
- Apply Gel Polish: Apply thin, even coats of your chosen gel polish to your nails. Cure each coat separately.
- Position Your Hand: Place your hand (or fingers, depending on the lamp's size) under the lamp.
- Activate the Timer: Press the power button. A single press might activate a 45-second timer, while a second press could activate a 60-second timer. Check the lamp's instructions, as timer settings can vary by model.
- Cure the Polish: Allow the lamp to cure the gel polish for the duration of the timer. Ensure the light is directly hitting the polished area.
- Repeat as Needed: Repeat steps 3-5 for each coat of gel polish, including the base coat and top coat.
- Unplug the Lamp: Once you've finished curing all coats, unplug the mini nail lamp.
The number of coats and curing time can vary depending on the type and brand of gel polish, so it is important to read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions that come with the gel polish.
