TheGelBottle Inc™ has introduced a new UV & LED Nail Lamp in partnership with SunUV, designed to cure TGB (The Gel Bottle) products to the highest level in just 60 seconds. The lamp, called “Light the Way,” is sleek and stylish, with design features exclusive to TGB. It has 39 carefully positioned LEDs, with 3 additional LEDs to ensure that tips cure perfectly. The lamp also has UV/LED combined lights (wavelength 365+405nm), 48W & low heat-mode to avoid heat spikes, a hidden LCD screen to show curing time, and a removable bottom tray for pedicures.
TheGelBottle Inc™ also offers a range of soak-off builder gels called Builder in A Bottle™ (BIAB™). This product is loved by nail techs across the globe for its ability to sculpt strong overlays and function as a strengthening barrier for natural nails. The BIAB™ Gel Collection includes a number of empowering new colours, each embodying a strength within us all. The product is long-lasting, self-levelling, and can be infilled or soaked off.
Together, TheGelBottle’s Builder in a Bottle and Revolutionary UV Lamp provides a complete system for achieving strong, healthy nails without heat spikes.
The Problem with Traditional Gel Nail Systems and Heat Spikes
Heat spikes are a common issue with traditional gel nail systems. During the curing process, gel nails release heat, which typically tops out at about 105°F — roughly the temperature of a hot tub. However, when the speed of the chemical reaction goes awry, temperatures can climb to 115°F (when clients start to notice a sensation) and upwards to 120°F (the beginning of heat spike territory) to as high as about 150°F — a painful level.
Heat spikes are typically called exothermic reactions, which means “to give off heat.” The total amount of heat that is generated is directly related to the number of bonds that are formed during the polymerization reaction. Each bond that is formed will generate a specific amount of heat. The more bonds that are formed, the more heat is generated.
There are ways to reduce clients’ discomfort from heat spikes. One way is to use less gel, as the more gel that is applied to the nail, the more heat is generated. Another way is to use an LED lamp that has a setting for hard gels, as these lamps have less output and will reduce the amount of heat experienced by you as a client. Finally, using a gel that generates less heat can also help. This can be achieved by altering the resins and photo initiators in the gel so that less heat is experienced.

If your regular Salon uses a standard or general UV lamp on BIAB Nails, you could hit an extremely uncomfortable temperature of 150°F.
You might have experienced this before and that is why we at Viet Nail Studio have invested in The Gel Bottle’s revolutionary UV Lamp. We specifically use this lamp for all BIAB nails we perform, and the results have been amazing.
Customers really struggled to manage to keep their hands under a normal UV light. These are the basic unit used in most Beauty Salons and are used for the curing process for Acrylic Nail Extensions
We had so many issues with customers unwilling to use the BIAB system on their nails, as it was too hot and very painful using the standard UV drying lamps.
After we invested in the Gel Bottle’s UV Lamp, we had so many more customers telling us the difference and wanting to move back to the BIAB system.
The biggest change for our business has been, that our BIAB business has grown by 50% in the past 12 months, and we have zero complaint about how hot the curing process has been in this period.
