How to properly remove your hand from the UV lamp if it bakes: tips to avoid ruining your manicure
During gel polymerisation in a UV or LED lamp, many people experience burning - this is normal, especially if the layer of material is thicker than usual. But it is important to know how to properly remove your hand from the lamp if it burns, so as not to spoil the coating and not to harm your nails.
Persistent manicure has many obvious advantages. However, it has a downside - drying the coating under the LED lamp. Sometimes at this point the nails start to burn so much that it seems as if a little more - and they will simply vaporise!
The reasons for the burning can be different. For some girls it is a reaction to a particular coating, for others - too thin nail plate. And it can also happen that a visit to the salon just coincided with an unfortunate moment of the cycle, when the sensitivity of the body is increased. And now instead of relaxation - tears in the eyes.
One thing is certain: if during nail drying under the lamp there is a burning sensation, you should immediately remove your hand for a few seconds. This will help avoid a thermal burn. However, it is important to do it correctly, without interrupting the curing process too abruptly, so as not to compromise the quality of the coating. . When you feel a strong burning sensation when gel polish is curing in the lamp, the first thing you want to do is to jerk your hand away, blow on your nails or start waving the brush. However, such sharp movements, especially if the coating has not yet had time to fully harden, can easily ruin the manicure. Gel-lacquer can lie unevenly, there will be bumps, and in the worst case - all smudged. Then you will have to redo the coating and again wait until it hardens in the lamp.
How to properly remove your hand from the lamp, so as not to damage the manicure:
- To properly eliminate the burning sensation, gently remove your hand from the lamp and turn it palm-side up.
- After that, slowly move your hand up and down until the pain goes away.
- Carefully turn your hand over and place it in the lamp again, taking care not to touch the walls with your fingers.
Positioning the painted hand with the nails facing downwards helps to reduce the risk of deformation of the nail bed. However, if your nails feel very painful when drying, it is worth discussing the possibility of using alternative materials with your nail technician. Some bases contain large amounts of photoinitiators - UV-activated substances that ensure fast drying of gel varnish, but can cause discomfort for sensitive nails. For such skin and nails, there are special coatings with a minimum content of these components, allowing you to avoid painful sensations and preserve the health of the nail plate.
