THE GLOSSARY

Cure

[kyoor]

What it is

The chemical hardening of a nail product, often through polymerization. The mechanism depends on the system: liquid-and-powder products, light-cured gels and cyanoacrylate resins do not share one universal curing method.

How to use

Follow the complete product system: compatible liquid and powder, a matched lamp for light-cured gel, or the specified resin and activator for wrap and dip products. Do not infer a full cure from surface hardness alone.
