Hybrid manicure has won the hearts of many of us, offering durability and a beautiful look for many days. However, sometimes we encounter the problem where the hybrid polish doesn’t dry under the lamp as expected. Are you wondering why this happens? Let’s look at the most common mistakes and ways to solve them.
Too thick a layer of polish
One of the most common reasons why hybrid polish doesn’t dry under the lamp is applying too thick a layer of the product. Often, we want to achieve an intense color in one go, which leads to applying too much polish. It’s worth remembering that it’s better to apply several thin layers that will gradually cure under the lamp. This way, we avoid situations where the polish remains sticky or wrinkles.
Improper lamp
Not every LED or UV lamp is suitable for curing hybrid polishes. It’s important that the lamp has the appropriate power and is compatible with the polish used. Often, cheap lamps with low power are unable to properly cure the polish. Before purchasing, it’s worth checking the technical specifications of the device and seeking opinions from other users. What do you think? Have you ever had a problem with an improper lamp?
Insufficient curing time
The curing time for hybrid polish can vary depending on the color and brand. Darker colors often require a longer curing time to fully harden. Therefore, it’s worth paying attention to the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the curing time for a specific product. It’s also worth remembering that some lamps may have different time settings that can be adjusted as needed.
Improper nail plate preparation
Preparing the nail plate is a crucial step that affects the durability and appearance of the hybrid manicure. Before applying the base, nails should be properly buffed and degreased. Sometimes we skip this step, which can lead to problems with curing the polish. Let’s remember that proper preparation is key!
Quality of hybrid polish
Not all hybrid polishes are created equal. Lower quality products may have curing issues, regardless of how carefully we follow other rules. It’s worth investing in proven brands that are well-regarded among professionals and users. From our experience at Easy Nails, we recommend trying several brands before settling on the one.
