[Curing Heat] When Gel Nails Get Hot, Can You Get Burned?! Causes and 4 Solutions | 2024
Hello!
Have you ever experienced the "heat" during gel nail treatment? The true nature of this heat is "curing heat" !
This time, EVERNAIL, a nail tip specialty store with over 100 different designs, will introduce you to the causes of curing heat and how to reduce it!
We will also introduce gel nail tips that rival salons and do not require any curing heat, so be sure to read to the end!
What is heat of curing?
This refers to the heat generated when applying UV/LED light to harden gel nails.
The ingredients in gel nails harden through a chemical reaction called "photopolymerization" when exposed to light.
This chemical reaction also generates heat during curing, so even if you don't feel any heat, curing heat is still being generated due to the way gel nails work.
Why do I feel curing heat?
Thick application of gel
The more gel you apply, the more chemical reactions will occur on your nails, making them feel hotter!
High light output
Generally, lights with 36W or more are considered high-output products.
High-powered lights cause the chemical reaction to proceed rapidly, which generates a lot of heat during curing.
Please check the light's instruction manual or the back of the unit for details.
Thin nails
If your nails become thin due to repeated gel nail applications, you will be more likely to feel the heat from curing.
If you find yourself enduring the heat every time, it might be time to take a break from nails.

Risks of curing heat🚨
The heat of curing may burn the skin under the nail .
It would be fine if it just turned red, but just like with a normal burn, blisters may form.
If it gets too bad, your nails will peel off , so don't take it lightly!
How to reduce curing heat
There are a few things you can do to reduce the heat of curing:
Do not apply the gel too thickly
Applying colored nail polish thickly does not make the color darker!
The basic rule is to apply thin layers of paint in multiple layers .
Depending on the size of your nails, it is said that about ⅓ of the tip of the brush is appropriate for one side of the brush.
After each coat, wipe off any hardened and unhardened gel before applying the next layer.
It's good if you can achieve the desired color in about 2-3 tries !
Gradually hardens
If you start curing with a high-power light, the chemical reaction will proceed rapidly and a lot of curing heat will be generated.
You can solve this by using the slow start function or by starting the light from a little distance away!
Reduce heat with gradual hardening🔥
If you feel it's hot, remove your hand from the light.
If you feel hot or it hurts, remove your hand from the light immediately as there is a risk of getting burned.
The hardening heat is easily felt within the first 10 seconds , so after letting it cool down, there is usually no problem the second time around.
How to choose a gel
The following are prone to overheating :
・Hard gel (gel for adding length or attaching parts)
・Non-wipe (gel that does not release uncured gel)
・Clear gel
These gels have a strong tendency to harden (= they cause a violent chemical reaction), so you can easily feel the heat directly on your nails🔥
Also, be careful with the gummy gel used to attach nail tips.
The gel is applied thickly, so it generates heat during curing!
Gummy gel is a great way to prevent the tip from coming off, but it also carries a high risk of gel allergies , and the heat it generates during hardening is a concern.
When using, please read the instruction manual carefully and use it correctly.
