A: Hey there! Great question! This is a gel-like polish, not a true UV/LED-cured gel formula, so using a UV/LED lamp won't make it dry faster (it's designed to air-dry). For quicker dry time, apply thin coats and finish with a quick-dry top coat.

A: Thanks for reaching out! Our L.A. Girl Gel-Like Shine Nail Polish is designed to give you the high-shine look of a gel manicure—without the need for curing under a lamp and without requiring a special remover. If you're having trouble removing it, here are a few tips to help with more stubborn polish: Use an acetone-based nail polish remover for best results. Or soak a cotton pad with remover, place it on your nail, and wrap it in foil for a few minutes to help loosen the polish. a tip is to gently rub with a clean pad or cotton ball to lift off the color. We hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions. L.A. Girl Team
