Some stand by good ol’ cotton t-shirts that have the seams removed, so it’s only soft material remaining. I use both on my machines because I like the slightly scrubbier factor of microfiber cloths sometimes, and the gentle t-shirt material for my shellac-coated machines. Just wash them and don’t put fabric softener in the wash, as that can cause hassles with buff-out – like streaks no matter how much you buff. Grrr! Abou-Okeil, A.; El-Shafie, A.; El Zawahry, M.M.

What also boosts the performance is the Convex Curing technology that allows this appliance to cure any sort of nail polish and do that in a fairly short time. The dryer offers 3 timer modes with the shortest curing time of 15 seconds and a maximum of 60 seconds. Clorox Wipes (non-bleach formula) – wipe down the machine to help remove the smoke smell and smoke haze. Follow with SMO after drying. They “smell nice” per contributor.

The set includes lots of extras that may be very useful for beginners who are just starting their manicure experience. First and foremost, you get a high-quality nail drying lamp. This electric device works from the mains and consumes 18 Watts of power. It is fitted with 9 powerful LED pcs that are smartly placed across the whole lamp to cure the polish from different angles. The device has a wide curing window which is big enough for drying 5 fingers or 5 toes at the same time. Also, it features a bottom tray that can be removed if needed. In this regard, UV models, which can work with all gel polish, are a bit more versatile. However, they aren't flawless as well. Compared to LED nail dryers, they need more time to dry, and they also have a shorter lifespan making only 15,000 hours.
