FAQs
Q: Can I Use Ambedo Gels Without an LED Lamp?
A: The LED lamp is what dries the gel on your nails and is essential as this type of gel will not dry by itself. With our quick-dry 36W LED Lamps, you will get faster drying results without harming your nails in the process.
Q: Is It Hard To Remove The Gel Nail Polish?
A: Removing the solid nail gel polish is easy using our foil nail gel remover wraps. Just file down the top coat and wrap the foils that contain acetone around each nail, give it about 10 minutes and voilà! The gel should come off easily.
Q: How Do I Use The Rechargeable LED Lamp?
A: Please follow these steps before using your rechargeable lamp for the first time.
1. Remove the blue seal from the underside of the LED lamp. The material underneath acts as a reflector for the light, increasing its strength.
2. Plug in and charge the lamp for 1-2 hours before using it for the first time. Once charged, you do not need to keep it plugged in until the next time it requires charging. You will notice the LED lights becoming dimmer when it needs to be charged.
Q: What Should Each Layer (Base Coat, Gel Colour, Top Coat) feel like after curing with the LED Lamp?
A: Each layer has a different set feel. The base coat should still feel sticky after setting. This allows the base to grip the gel colour better. Gel colours will not feel as sticky as the base coat, but will still have a slightly tacky finish. It will harden but does not have the same texture as the top coat. The top coat will tighten and set/seal the gel nails and the finished texture is hard and shiny.
Q: How Long Does It Take To Dry The Gel Under The LED Lamp?
A: We recommend putting your nails under the lamp for 60-90 seconds per coat.
Base Coat: 60-90 seconds. The base coat may still feel very slightly sticky after this time but this is normal. Base coats do not feel solid like the gel colour or top coat after it has solidified.
Solid Nail Gel: 60-90 seconds per coat.
Top Coat: 60-90 seconds. As the top coat dries under the lamp you may feel heat and a tightening sensation on your nails. This is completely normal and will subside quickly while drying. The top coat will feel smooth to the touch once dry.
Note: the Black or White LED Lamp does not require charging before use. It will only turn on while plugged in. When not in use keep it unplugged and stored away. The rechargeable Maroon Lamp requires charging before using, and once charged, does not need to be plugged in to turn on.
Q: Will Sunlight Affect The Gels?
Because the Sun emits UV rays, it will have a drying effect on gel polishes. Please avoid having your palette open near windows where sunlight can reach, as this will start curing the gels from within the palette. Normal lights used in the home will not effect the gels. The most important thing to remember is: Any light source which emits LED/UV will dry the gels, while lights that don't emit these will not dry them.
Q: Can I Wear These Gels Without Using The Base And Top Coat?
A: Yes you can wear the gels by itself. HOWEVER, we highly recommend using both the base and top coat from the Ambedo range to achieve the best application and longest-lasting results.
Q: What Is The Difference Between Gel Polish And Traditional Polish?
A: The main differences:
1. Traditional polishes dry naturally, Gel polishes do not (they require a LED lamp)
2. Gel polishes last longer than traditional polishes
3. Gel polishes do not easily chip like traditional polishes
And our gels are even better than normal gels because of its easy-to-apply solid cream texture!
Q: Can I make the effects of the magnetic Cat-Eye Gel designs stronger?
A: Absolutely! Just remove the magnet from its plastic casing and its magnetic effects will be stronger on the Cat-Eye Gels. We also recommend applying and setting a base gel colour first, as this makes the magnetic particles stand-out more and makes it easier to see exactly where they move when you use the magnet. The colour of the Cat-Eye gels will also be more vibrant with a base colour underneath.
Q: How much glue do I need to use for the Bio-Cellulose nail glue?
A: You do not need to use a lot of glue to set acrylics or nail tips to your nails, generally less than a pea size amount depending on the nail size. The most important part is to have just enough glue to cover the entire nail when attaching the nail tip or acrylic.
Q: How do I apply the glue to my nail?
For a step-by-step on applying, check out the How To Apply in the product description here.
Q: How do I remove the nail glue?
- Lift and create a small gap between the nail tips and your nails by lifting the nail tip a little bit around the sides (creates space between the nail and glue for the alcohol to reach easily)
- Pour some rubbing alcohol into a small dish and soak the nails in them for 1-2 minutes.
- The glue will loosen as the alcohol causes the bonds to break between the glue and nail.
- The nail tips can be gently removed
- Apply hand cream/oil to your nails
AN EXTRA TIP FOR EVEN FASTER REMOVAL:
- Mix a small amount of acetone with the rubbing alcohol to remove the glue even quicker than using just alcohol!
