The Snapcure™ UV Lamp • The Gel Collection

SnapCure is the compact UV/LED lamp that makes Gel Tips application easier, more precise and far more controlled.

The lamp is developed specifically for our Gel Tip system and is used to flash-cure each tip right after it has been placed on the nail. In just a few seconds the tip "locks" into place, so it does not slide or shift while you continue working on the next nails.

You can use SnapCure handheld for maximum precision or place it in the flexible stand so you can work hands-free. It is cordless, rechargeable and can be folded together, making it easy to use and store.

Once all the tips are correctly in place, the entire hand is finally cured in your large UV/LED lamp.

In short: The little tool that makes Gel Tips application significantly easier - and helps you achieve a more precise, even and professional result at home.

How the lamp is used in your routine – step by step

This routine is a classic Gel Polish manicure – the lamp cures every single layer.

1. Prep – file length and shape, push back the cuticles, buff the surface lightly, clean with cleaner and apply primer (air-dries in 60 sec.). Watch the prep video guide →
2. Base coat – a very thin layer, seal the free edge, and cure the whole hand in the lamp.
3. Gel Polish colour – two thin coats, cure in the lamp between coats. Use flash cure to hold the shape while building reinforcements.
4. Top coat – seal the free edge, and cure in the lamp.The lamp is used in steps 2, 3 and 4 – curing times are on each product
5. Nail oil – wash your hands and finish with oil at the cuticles and under the nail.
