Anela's Pro Tip

"The main difference between UV and LED curing gels lies in the curing time and the required lamp – those who use modern LED technology in the salon should specifically choose LED-compatible gels to save time. For competition modeling, I usually combine a clear builder gel as a static base with a pigmented cover gel for aesthetics – this two-layer strategy delivers the most stable and elegant results." – Anela Mucic, Nail Design World Champion 2023 & INJA Juror

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between UV gel and LED gel?
UV gels traditionally cure under UV light and often require slightly longer curing times. Many modern gels are LED/UV compatible and cure much faster under LED lamps, but also work under traditional UV lamps.

Which UV gel is suitable for beginners?
For beginners, self-leveling, thixotropic cover gels like the No-File Cover Gels are recommended – they forgive small application errors and require little filing.

Do I need a special lamp for UV gels?
Yes, UV gels only cure reliably under a suitable UV or LED/UV lamp.

What is the difference between Clear Builder Gel and Cover Gel?
Clear Builder Gels are completely transparent and provide maximum stability without affecting color. Cover Gels are pigmented and camouflage the natural nail for a natural look.

Can I also use UV gels for extensions with templates?
Yes, the Cover Gels Extension and Clear Builder Gels are excellently suited for template techniques, attached French, and dual forms.
