Gel Nails That Last: My Real Routine for Fast, Flawless Drying

The last time I smudged a fresh gel manicure, I nearly swore off at-home nails forever. But here’s what actually works when you want glossy, chip-proof nails—without waiting ages for them to dry: 💡 LED lamps are my go-to for speed. Just 30 seconds per coat and you’re set. (Bonus: less heat, less waiting, more shine.) 🧤 If you’re using a UV lamp, don’t forget sunscreen or fingerless gloves. Protect that skin while you cure—two minutes per layer, max. 🌞 No lamp? No problem. No-light gel polish dries with daylight. Just layer thinly and let each coat air-dry near a window. The trick? Thin layers, patience, and the right tools. Which method do you swear by—or are you still team regular polish? #gelnails #manicuretutorial #beautyhacks #Beauty
