Can You Use a Nail Lamp for Regular Nail Polish?

‌You can use a nail lamp to care for ordinary nail polish, but the effect is limited and it is not recommended to use it frequently. ‌

Nail lamps are mainly used to cure nail glue, and ultraviolet rays or LED light are used to accelerate the curing process. For ordinary nail polish, the effect of nail lamps is not obvious, because the drying of nail polish mainly depends on natural air drying and air flow, and nail lamps cannot effectively accelerate its curing process. In addition, nail polish usually contains formaldehyde substances, and long-term use of nail lamps may have adverse effects on human health. ‌

Natural air drying‌: Place the fingers painted with nail polish in a well-ventilated place and wait for them to dry naturally. ‌

Use a fan‌: Use a small fan to blow air at your fingers to speed up the drying of nail polish. ‌
