Before analyzing whether the nail lamp can be used to bake nail polish, let's take a look at the principle of using the nail lamp. Nail art lamps are usually used to bake nail polish glue. Nail polish glue is a mixture, the main component is resin, and its chemical formula is C15H16O2, which has the characteristic of curing by light. Therefore, when packaging the nail polish bottle, a layer of anti-translucent paint is applied to the outside of the nail polish bottle to prevent it from curing in the bottle.
Nail art lamp bake nail polish glue also uses its chemical principle, which can be cured quickly under the irradiation of long-wave ultraviolet rays, and the adhesion is enhanced.
There are two major families of nail art lamps, one is UV nail lamp and the other is LED nail lamp. The main light waves of both are ultraviolet rays. UV nail art lamps contain a wide range of ultraviolet wavelengths, while LED nail art lamps have a narrower ultraviolet wavelength range.
We all know that ultraviolet rays can cause damage to skin tissue cells, but why do we use ultraviolet rays for manicure? A part of ultraviolet light is called long-wave ultraviolet light, with a wavelength between 320-400nm. This part of ultraviolet light has extremely small damage to the skin. Generally, it needs continuous irradiation for hundreds of years to have an effect on the skin, which is almost negligible.
The UV wavelength of the LED nail lamp can be well controlled at about 370nm. Scientific research shows that it takes at least 300 years for this wavelength of UV to have an effect on human cells, and it can react well with the nail polish. Because the cost of LED nail art lamps is relatively high, the effect is relatively good, and the UV damage is extremely low, the price will be much higher than that of UV nail art lamps.
Let’s take a look at nail polish. Its main ingredients include: acetone, ethyl acetate, phthalate, formaldehyde, etc. Nail polishes are generally air-dried naturally. Air flow and increased temperature can be used to accelerate their curing. The process is natural It does not react chemically with ultraviolet rays like nail glue.
Back to our original question, can the nail lamp be used to bake ordinary nail polish? Obviously, except that the nail art lamp can increase the local temperature and accelerate the curing of the nail polish, it has no effect, and the effect will not be as good as the dried nail glue, and the speed will not be so fast.
Finally, it is recommended that nail polish and nail glue are two different concepts, and the chemical components are completely different. The nail lamp is specially designed for drying nail glue. It is best not to use nail polish because there are many harmful ingredients in nail polish. And it’s complicated. Ultraviolet rays may stimulate toxicity. It is recommended to use them separately to avoid unnecessary emergencies.
