I could watch many more videos on nail theory from you! This was so interesting! I didn't know that over-curing was really a thing. So now my question is, can hard gel also be over cured? Can that cause lifting issues? You should think about doing a lot more of those kind of videos and even make a Nail Theory playlist. I'm sure lots of us would find it super helpful. Hope y'all have a good holiday! ❤❤❤

Yes of course hard gel can be over-cure as well. Even worse we can cause chemical burn to a nail bed if example to thick product is allayed or acid primer is used with buldiers in bottle which all ready have acid in them

That is so interesting Dorota. Thank you for such an informative information on different strengths of curing. Very interesting because your right we are concerned of uncaring not over curing. Thank you again ❤❤

What about heat spikesin this lamp? Would that be higher with this lamp?

I prefer gel curing lamps that have a deeper well. This Melodie Susie lamp is too short causing clients to bump their nails on the back of the lamp getting gel stuck to the back of the well. I also don't like those groves on the base either for the same reason causing uneven gel curing. A reflective flat surface works so much better

About over curing…. What if you cured perfect and now you add designs and you have to cure the designs. Aren’t you now over curing the gel polish underneath???

Fantastic question 🙌😁 When a gel polish layer cures, it forms a solid polymer network. Once this process is complete, the material won't continue to react further, even with additional light exposure. That mean that Over-Curing Happens Only During Initial Curing Over-curing can occur if the gel is exposed to too much UV energy during the first cure. For example, using a lamp that’s too strong or curing for too long can lead to yellowing, brittleness, or other issues. However, curing subsequent layers like designs or top coats doesn’t "over-cure" the already cured base or color layers because they are already in a stable, polymerized state. Adding Designs and Curing When adding designs and curing them: The lamp affects only the uncured gel in the design layer. The underlying cured layers remain unaffected and stable. In Summary Over-curing is only a concern during the initial curing of a specific layer. Fully cured layers are not impacted by additional curing for designs or top coats. This is why proper curing times and compatible lamps are key to preventing issues from the start

Curing is a one-time chemical reaction for each layer because polymerization process in gel nails stops after the first curing because the chemical reaction reaches completion when the correct amount of UV energy is appliedHope I dont make it to complicated 😅🙈 to understand that let talk about polymerization- itis the chemical reaction where small molecules (monomers and oligomers) link together to form long, stable chains (polymers). This reaction happens when the photoinitiators in the gel are exposed to UV or LED light. Photoinitiators Activate UV/LED light triggers the photoinitiators in the gel, starting the polymerization process. Polymerization Completes: The monomers link together until all available molecules have reacted. Once this reaction is complete, the gel is fully cured and forms a hard, stable polymer network, so here is a question which come up why doesn’t Polymerization Restart? It can't as all Molecules Are Used Up: During the curing process, the photoinitiators deplete, and the monomers bond into polymers. If there are no more reactive molecules left, the process cannot continue, no matter how much light is applied. Stable Polymer Network: After curing, the gel has transformed into a solid, stable structure. UV light doesn’t break the bonds or reactivate the process because there’s nothing left to cure.
