Achieving a flawless, long-lasting manicure isn't just about the polish you choose—it’s also about how you cure it. Proper curing ensures durability, shine, and overall nail health. This is where the CND™ LED Lamp becomes indispensable, especially when working with CND™ Shellac™ and other light-curable systems.
The Science Behind Nail Polish Curing
Gel and hybrid polishes, like CND™ Shellac™, require exposure to specific light wavelengths to trigger a chemical reaction that hardens the polish. This process—known as curing—transforms the polish from a liquid into a solid, durable coating.
Without proper curing:
- Nails may remain tacky
- Polish may chip prematurely
- Adhesion may fail
- Curing is therefore not just a finishing step—it's a vital part of the service.
