BIOGLOW
Frequently asked questions.
Answers to the most common questions about our BioGlow manicure. If your BioGlow question isn’t here, contact our friendly Customer Services team on cs@nailberry.co.uk
I’ve never used an LED-curing polish before. Is BioGlow easy to apply?
Yes - our BioGlow primer, colours, base and top coats apply in the same way you would regular nail polish. The only difference is that you cure your manicure under our LED lamp, rather than letting it air-dry. See our how-to >
Can I use my other Nailberry polishes with BioGlow?
As our L’Oxygéné nail polishes and treatments are all air-drying, they do not need to be used with our BioGlow lamp-curing system.Only our BioGlow base coat, colours and top coat need to be cured under our LED lamp.

Can I use other brand polishes with BioGlow?
Our BioGlow hybrid formulas are unique and our LED lamp is designed to work with this system for best results.
How long does it take to do the full BioGlow manicure?
The total time is around 30 minutes, though this can vary depending on personal technique.
Is BioGlow free from TPO?
Yes. All our BioGlow formulas are free of TPO (Trimethylbenzoyl diphenylphosphine oxide) and other unhealthy monomers, including HEMA.
How is the BioGlow LED lamp different to others?
The spec of our 48W BioGlow LED lamp is significantly higher than most at-home curing lamps. It emits power at a wavelength of 365 + 405 nm / power radiant: ≥30 mW/cm² which, along with the higher wattage, delivers salon-quality fast and even curing, including edges and sidewalls, while reducing the risk of peeling and chips.
Does the BioGlow LED lamp get hot?
The LEDs in our lamp are quartz glass encapsulated which greatly improves performance and experience and reduces heat build-up, ensuring it is safe and effective for your nails. During the 1- and 2-minute curing times, heat does not build up or feel uncomfortable on nails.
