They cannot replace hand massages and gossip sessions with your favorite manicurist, but if you desperately repair inferior shellac or cure nail lockitis, the fingers prepared by the salon are easier than you think!

Undoubtedly, the past 18 months have been difficult for many of us...but it has been especially difficult for our hair, skin, and nails. Our roots are out of control, our eyebrows are thick (and not very good), and our poor nails still have shellac debris from the last time we were allowed to touch us. (Oh, electric blue toenails: if I knew that I would be trapped by you for a few months, I would definitely choose another color...)

In short, it is severe. But the good thing is that there are actually a lot of great home beauty equipment, and many are cheap, and work (almost) as good as the real one. Especially in household nail products, making your own gel is actually very easy. We are not talking about giving up your favorite manicurist completely (because nothing is more commensurate with proper care/gossip from someone who really knows what they are doing), but in those middle times when you can't go to the beauty salon-or , You know, you are stuck in an endless lock-up-this is a good choice.

Here are seven affordable LED nail lamps that are suitable for using salon-quality fingers at home.

This great choice is Amazon's choice for nail lamps, with an average rating of 4.3/5 stars. It contains a 168w motor with 42 UV and LED lamp beads, which is very suitable for most types of UV and LED nail polish. Fast and safe, it has four timer settings and an automatic sensor that will start immediately when you put your hand underneath, and a large LCD screen displays the remaining curing time. "Love this product!" one said, adding: "I have never used gel polish at home before. Because I don't know how to do it myself, I always go to the nail salon. Once the lock-up happens again, I will I bought this product and used it at home, everything needed to start. Considering the price, it exceeded my expectations."

This super beautiful device is battery-powered, easy to travel and easy to carry, so you can take it with you and do manicures anytime, anywhere. It is quick-drying because it is UV and LED, so it is compatible with all gel polishes with finger locators and automatic switches, so you can accurately know how far you put your fingers in each time.

It is nothing more portable than this super cool gadget, it is actually the size of a computer mouse...so it is perfect for finishing your nails while you are working, I guess? It is USB rechargeable, as we said, very portable, but also very small (so don't expect to complete the entire hand at once...) and can heal all different types of gel polishes. "It works well, especially for first-time users," one commenter said. "I dried my poly gel nails perfectly. I am very satisfied with my purchase, as other reviews said, it is small, but my hands are small, so it fits like a normal size LED/UV lamp. Fingers. Cute and compact."

This professional standard nail lamp uses a new dual-light technology to dry all different types of nail polish. It has four different timers-up to 99 seconds-with automatic infrared sensors for turning on and off. It has many fans online, and people call it the "absolute best" and "locked savior."

This nail art lamp is specially designed for nail art (although it is obviously also suitable for normal colors) and can be used to dry UV and LED gels. It is also a bit larger than some other household LEDs on the market, and it is also very suitable for toenails. It also has the necessary infrared sensor and four different timer settings, and has received a large number of five-star ratings. "A great product, everything I want. It is compact enough to not take up too much space, but strong enough and not as fragile as other small lights. It works well," only one satisfied customer praised. Another vowed that since buying this lamp, she "will not return to the nail salon again!"

This cool little lamp has two things that make it unique-its drying speed, and the (super convenient) mobile phone holder on it. Professional-grade 168W power UV cures nails faster than most other gel polish dryers, saving you time. But when you sit there (literally) watching the paint dry, at least you can be entertained, because it even has a place to hold your phone while you wait. The kit also comes with a nail file and buffer brush. "Beautiful and easy to use," one of them said, adding, "You don't need to spend a lot of money to get a salon-like experience at home. It's perfect." It also comes with a pair of UV protection gloves, suitable for those who are worried about any harm. Ray man.

This beautiful pink, stylish and very suitable for sitting on your dressing table, this is an elegant-looking nail lamp with rich functions. It will cure various gel polishes-LED gel, UV gel, construction gel, sculpture gel-and it is USB rechargeable, which means it is very suitable for use on the go. It is perfect for fingers and toes, and has four different timing settings, including an ultra-low-calorie 99-second setting with a large LED display, letting you know how long you need to walk. "Easy to use and super cute," one of (many) positive reviews wrote. "Get work done in the comfort of your home, love it," another person said.

Essentially, UV nail lamps will cure all gel polish brands, while LED lamps will only cure LED specific brands. LED lights are more expensive, but the bulbs last longer, and they can cure the polish faster (less than 30 seconds instead of minutes).

The most important thing is to make sure you know which gel you plan to use, because not all lamps can cure all gels. (Although most of the gels we mentioned here are compatible with all different types of gels) Secondly, you need to consider things like lamp power and lamp life, because UV lamps need to be replaced every six months , And the LED lights will continue. (The point is, if you don't need UV light, just consider LEDs and save your dollars over time). Also consider the curing time, because the beauty of gel nails is that they dry much faster than normal nails. Finally, consider factors such as size and portability-if you may need to manicure on the go, consider using a USB charging or battery-powered model.

It is understandable for people to hear "ultraviolet rays" and be cautious, but the reality is that compared to walking around or basking in the sun every day, the amount of exposure to UV lamps for a short period of time every month or so is very small. Only LED lights are obviously safer than UV lights, but you really have to use them continuously for several hours a day to really feel the effects of UV radiation. If you are really worried (or you use nail lamps more frequently than usual), you may want to consider applying sunscreen on your hands before applying nail polish. Amazon also stocks a wide variety of UV protective gloves, which are very suitable for use under nail lamps.
