Glitterbels curing issues

[Nailfiend]

Hi. Does anyone have issues with glitterbels curing? I am curing thin layers for the time on the bottle but if I wipe the inhibition layer most of the colour just rubs off. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m using the sunuv lamp and it cures all brands I’ve tried except glitterbels. It even cures their builder just not the coloured gel

Thank you!

No lamp cures all brands - there is no such thing as a universal lamp.

Glitterbels use the sunuv lamp though and sell it on their website

Hi. I am aware of the specs on their lamp. Mine are exactly the same and I use sunuv which is the manufacturer of their lamp also. Thank you

You need to get the lamp Glitterbels sells directly. While your lamp may be from the same manufacturer and 'claim' to have the same specs, most likely, it doesn't. The first place to start is always ensuring you are working exactly to Glitterbels instructions. Also, remember not using the correct lamp may invalidate your insurance x

I’ve had the exact same problem! I asked my other fellow nail technician friend and she had the same thing. She resulted in buying the Kirsty Meakin lamp as the pigmentation in the colours is stronger than other brands. She says it works amazing and so glad she changed the lamp. I’ve since ordered it and can’t wait for it to come! Haha. We also previously used sun lamp too. Hope this helps x

Hi

Thank you so much for your reply. I’m glad I’m not the only one! I’ve since spoken with a trainer from glitterbels and she even said that because they are highly pigmented there is a lot that can come off in the inhibition layer. I’ve found that if you cure for 60 seconds and an extra 30 for the really bright colours it seems to work. She also mentioned too coating then buffing before applying nail art. She uses the glitterbels lamp so it must just be how these gels can be. Good to hear about the Kirsty meakin lamp though. I hear her products are fab
