Does a Vinylux pedicure require a UV/LED lamp?
No, a vinyl pedicure does not require a UV/LED lamp.
Vinyl polishes, such as CND Vinylux, have a self-curing formula that hardens when exposed to natural light and air, eliminating the need for a UV/LED lamp. This makes a vinyl pedicure faster and more convenient to apply than gel polish while being more durable than traditional nail polish.
How Does Vinyl Polish Work Without a Lamp?
Self-Hardening Formula
🔹 Vinyl polish contains photo-reactive polymers that cure under natural light.
🔹 Each layer dries in a few minutes, with full curing occurring within a few hours.
No Base Coat Needed
🔹 Vinyl polishes do not require a base coat since they contain adhesion-promoting ingredients.
🔹 This makes the application process faster and less damaging to the nails.
Faster Drying Than Regular Nail Polish
🔹 Vinyl polishes dry much faster than traditional nail polishes, especially when using a dedicated vinyl top coat, which enhances durability.
Easy Removal Without Acetone or a Nail Drill
🔹 Unlike gel polish, a vinyl pedicure can be removed with regular nail polish remover – no need for acetone, nail drills, or foil wrapping.
Easy Waxing recommendation
✔ A vinyl pedicure DOES NOT require a UV/LED lamp, as it cures naturally when exposed to light and air.
✔ It dries faster than regular nail polish and lasts 10–14 days on toenails.
✔ It is gentler on nails than gel polish, as it does not require buffing the nail plate or using acetone for removal.
This makes a vinyl pedicure an excellent alternative to gel polish for those who want long-lasting results without using a lamp or weakening their nails. 😊
