Does a Vinylux pedicure require a UV or LED lamp?

No, a Vinylux pedicure does not require a UV or LED lamp. Unlike gel polishes, the Vinylux system works by curing in natural light. This means the polish air-dries on its own, without the need for special equipment.

How Does Vinylux Work Without a Lamp?

Self-curing formula – Vinylux polish contains special ingredients that enable it to dry quickly in the air.
Light-reactive Top Coat – Vinylux Top Coat hardens when exposed to natural light, increasing durability and making the polish more resistant to damage over time.
Faster application – Since no UV/LED lamp is required, the pedicure process is easier and quicker, both in salons and at home.

How Long Does a Vinylux Pedicure Take to Dry?

Each coat of color polish dries in about 2 minutes in open air.
Vinylux Top Coat takes approximately 10-15 minutes to set initially, but its full strength continues to develop over a few hours with exposure to daylight.
Avoid wearing tight shoes for the first hour after application to prevent smudging or dents in the polish.

Benefits of Not Using a Lamp

Safer for nails – No exposure to UV radiation reduces the risk of nail damage.
Less invasive removal – Vinylux can be removed with a regular nail polish remover, without the need for acetone soaking like gel polish.
Convenient application – Can be used without specialized equipment, making it perfect for at-home use.

Easy Waxing recommendation

A Vinylux pedicure does not require a UV or LED lamp, as its formula air-dries and strengthens with natural light. This makes it quicker, more convenient, and gentler on the nails, while still providing up to 7 days of wear.
