What is Solar Gel?

Published in Nail Care 1 min read

Solar gel refers to gel nails that are cured with ultraviolet (UV) light. This distinguishes them from "Solar Nails," which are cured using natural sunlight.

Here's a breakdown of solar gel nails:

  • Curing Process: Solar gel requires a UV lamp to harden and set the gel.
  • Application Frequency: Due to the limited penetration of UV light compared to sunlight, solar gel nails often need more frequent applications or touch-ups.
  • Differentiation from Solar Nails: The key difference lies in the curing method: UV light for solar gel and natural sunlight for Solar Nails.

In summary, "solar gel" in the context of nails describes gel nails that use a UV light to cure and harden the product, and should not be confused with "Solar Nails" that are cured with sunlight.
