Do Sun-Cured Gel Nails Cure with a Low UV Index? Yes!
At Heyhae, we’re revolutionizing your nail care routine with our innovative sun-cured gel nails. One question we often hear is, "Can sun-cured gel nails still cure when the UV index is low outside?" You might also wonder, "Do gel nails cure on cloudy days?" The answer is yes, and today we’re diving into how we tested it to prove it!
What Is UV Index and Why Does It Matter for Gel Nails?
The UV index measures the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun at a specific time and place. Higher UV index means stronger sunlight, while a low UV index means the sun's rays are weaker. UV rays are crucial for curing sun-cured gel nails because they initiate the chemical process that hardens the semi-cured gel.
Naturally, you might wonder if a low UV index means your gel nails won’t cure properly. The great news? Even when the UV index is low, your HeyHae sun-cured gel nails will still harden effectively. Let us explain how we tested this!
Our Low UV Index Test: Do Sun-Cured Gel Nails Work When UV Is Low?
We wanted to ensure that our gel nails cure even when the sun’s rays are softer. So, we conducted a test on a day with a UV index of just 1 during the late afternoon.
Results of Our UV Index Test:
- At a UV index of 1, it took just 12 minutes for our gel nail stickers to cure fully.
This proves that while it might take a little longer than on a sunny day with a high UV index, the curing process still works flawlessly. In this case, it only added a few extra minutes, so you can still enjoy beautifully cured nails, regardless of the weather.
Why Heyhae Gel Nails Cure in Low UV Conditions
Here are the key reasons why our sun-cured gel nails still harden effectively even on overcast days or in low UV conditions:
1. UV Rays Are Always Present
Even when the sun is weaker, there’s still enough UV light to activate the curing process. Our gel nail formula is designed to work with varying levels of UV exposure, ensuring flexibility and convenience for you.
2. Built for Consistency
Our formula is engineered to respond efficiently to different levels of UV light, so your Heyhae sun-cured gel nails harden whether you’re in direct sunlight or under softer lighting conditions.
