Hi I work with NSI builder gel and find that its the best that I have used. The gel does set under the UV lamp, its probably that you've not left it under for the required amount of time (each manufacturer recommends a different duration), or that you're not properly removing the residue. This isnt required after each layer, just the final layer. Wipe-off as its sometimes called can be purchased cheaply from any beauty supplier, or from the same supplier as your gel. Just make sure that you do approx 3 layers which are thin, rather tahn one or two thick layers. Also helps to keep them looking natural. Good luck and stick with it.Has anyone used uv nail gel? i`m having trouble getting it to set with my uv lamp?
Could be a few problems. The simplest thing is to make sure you wipe off the residue. Gel doesn't completely harden. It has what's called a 'slip layer' that is used to make the next layer of gel adhere. Once you've finished your nails, you need to wipe this slip layer off with finishing wipe.





If you are already doing that, the problem could be that you're layering the gel on too thickly. It's best to do 3 or 4 thinner layers than 1 or 2 thick layers. If that fails, then you probably need either 1) a stronger lamp, or 2) new bulbs in your current lamp. Keep in mind that different gels require different wattage, so if you've recently switched product, you should check for minimum wattage requirements.
depends on the make i do bio sculpture and they are really good are u sure its not just the residue thats left ontop. wipe it with sanitiser. if its not then u need a new lamp with stronger bulbs
