The Best LED Nail Lamp for Gel Nails from Mylee
Having a good quality nail lamp is actually really important for achieving a flawless finish for your mani, which is why we’ve developed what we consider to be one of the best LED nail lamps out there.
A cheap or poor-quality lamp won’t properly cure or harden the gel, leaving the polish wet and tacky, making it difficult to work with and prone to smudging.
Our Mylee LED Nail Lamps cure gel nail polish perfectly, allowing you to create flawless, long-lasting results with minimal effort.
Pro Salon Series Convex™ LED Nail Lamp
Whether you’re a professional nail artist or you love doing your nails at home, the Mylee Pro LED Lamp is a must-have in your nail kit.
It uses innovative technology that can fully cure gel polish in just 60 seconds, or flash cure nail art in 30 seconds.
The Convex™ design maximises the light’s contact with your nails as a result of the curved mirrors, curing them quickly and evenly. You can even cure your thumb at the same time, which many other nail lamps struggle to do.
It also features three timer settings and pre-sets to suit different curing cycles, so you can choose the right one for your gel polish or nail art without needing to fiddle around with manually setting the timer.
It’s equipped with a removable metal tray that makes cleaning the nail lamp after each use really easy. This feature is great for professional nail techs who see multiple clients in a day, as it allows for quick turnover and efficient cleaning.
With an impressive 50,000-hour lifespan, it doesn't get much better than this!

Firmly insert the bulb in your lamp until you hear an audible click. This lets you know that you have installed them successfully.
Over time, your bulbs may become damaged or start to fade, so a replacement pack can certainly save the day.

One of the greatest things about our LED lamps is that they work fantastically in both home and salon settings, resulting in a professional finish.
Not only that, but they cure polish faster than UV lamps, which is a huge advantage for busy salons where time is of the essence.

FAQs
Do LED nail dryers work on regular nail polish?
LED & UV lamps do not work on regular nail polish, only gel polish. This is because gel polishes contain a polymer. The polish will not settle without curing under an LED or UV light.
You must air dry regular nail polish rather than using a light. If you pop it under a lamp – nothing will happen!
Do nail polish dryers cure gel polish?
Nail lamps with either a UV or LED light will cure or harden Mylee gel polish. Either the LED or UV Lamp will cure Mylee Gel Polish (as well as builder gel and polygel).
The light is needed as gel products contain polymer, which will struggle to harden without being cured under a light. Before purchasing a nail polish dryer, you should consider the products that you use, whether that be regular polish or gel.
Are UV gel polish dryers harmful to your skin?
Both UV and LED lamps emit very small amounts of UV rays. While overexposure to UV rays has been known to cause damage to the skin, studies have found that the amount of UV rays emitted by a UV or LED lamp is very minimal.
Can you cure gel polish with a hairdryer?
No, you cannot use any nail products with a hairdryer, and this is something you should avoid at all costs.
Hairdryers can actually do more damage to your nails than good. If you want to dry them properly, you should always use a UV or LED lamp and never use a hair dryer with gel or regular varnish or polish. It's the light that cures the gel, so the heat won't cure gel polish.
How long does it take to get your nails dry with a nail dryer?
Our Mylee Pro Salon Series Convex LED Lamp, can take as little as 15 seconds to flash cure your nail art and 30 to 60 seconds to cure Mylee gel polish. UV lamps, on the other hand, take a little bit longer – around 120 seconds.
