Application

Can I Use Ambedo Gels Without an LED Lamp?

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.

My Base Coat and Colour Gel Still Feel Sticky/Tacky After Setting. Is This Normal?

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.

Note: If the gels do not cure properly, it is usually because the rechargeable LED lamp has not been charged first, and the blue seal underneath has also not been removed. Please make sure to charge your lamp and remove the blue seal underneath before using it.

How Long Does It Take to Dry the Gel Under the LED Lamp?

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.
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.

Note: The Black or White LED Lamp does not require charging before use. The rechargeable Maroon Lamp requires charging before using, and once charged, does not need to be plugged in to turn on.

Removal

Is It Hard to Remove Gel Nail Polish?

Removing our gels is easy using foils and acetone!

File down the topcoat of your gel nails
Use our Premium Gel Nail Remover Foil Wraps (acetone included)
Wrap a foil around each nail
Let it soak for approximately 10 minutes
Remove the foils and gently scrape the gel off with a cuticle pusher

Note: Any acetone-based remover and nails foils can be used to remove our gels.

LED Lamps

How Do I Use the Rechargeable LED Lamp?

Please follow these steps before using your rechargeable lamp for the first time.

Remove the blue seal from the underside of the LED lamp. The material underneath acts as a reflector for the light, increasing its strength.
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.

Ingredients & Safety

Are Ambedo Gels HEMA and TPO free?

Yes, our products are both HEMA and TPO free. We instead use a structurally different ingredient known as TPO-L, which is not banned in the EU and is the far superior and safer updated alternative to traditional TPO.

General

What Is the Difference Between Gel Polish and Traditional Polish?

The main differences:

Traditional polishes dry naturally; Gel polishes do not (they require a LED lamp)
Gel polishes last longer than traditional polishes
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!
