How long does the glow last? Does it glow in the color of the polish?

The glow doesn't last too too long but it does glow constantly under a black light an yes they glow the color of the polish

The glow lasts a couple of days depending on how many coats you put on. Be sure to put your nails under the light or out on the sun after you apply the polish. It does not glow the color of the polish.

So far I have used the blue and it glows for about 5 to 10 minutes depending on how long you keep them in the sun first. However it only takes a sec in the sun and it will glow. It's bluefish when glowing

The glow depends on how much time you expose the polish to light. (Typically, several minutes.) Each polish glows green, regardless of the polish color.

It glows for atleast 2 weeks from what I have found. I don't see where it glows the color of the polish, it just seems to be a glow in the dark but the colors do add a little hint of color to your nails but not when it glows.

The first time I used it I painted my fingers and toes, well during the night I got up to let my 3 dogs out and one of them started barking at my feet because my toes were glowing blue. Since then Ive had a sleep over with all 8 of my nieces and they went nutty for this. It doesn't take much light for the polish to glow (it's best to use 2-3 coats and no top coat), and it looks great with black light too.

Yes. In the dark they have a green glow, but in the blacklight they glow the color of the polish with just to thin coats.

Hello. Yes, with the Polish I have I have to wipe off the sticky stuff. But I'm not sure if that is due to the lamp or the polish. I have used both uv and led lamps and have the same outcome. I really like this lamp though. Since I got one I have been doing my own nails at home often!

Just flatten it out and keep under light for like 5 min. It will glow for a while then. Also the type that changes color. It use the heat from your hands to change color. Warm the putty with your hands it will change. Hope this helps

In my experience, yes. It stays on without chipping for 6-7 days for me with its polish. I am very hard on my nails and wash 100 times per day too.

I usually stay under the UV lamp for about 5 min. But chipping really depends on the nail color and what activities you put your nails thru. Sometimes my Essie will chip in 2 days sometimes my OPI will chip in 4. Some colors will last more than others regardless of the brand too. Good Luck. Teri

They seem to glow all night so roughly 6-9 hours. I bought them and stuck them up in July and they are still at it.

I just keep wiping off the polish until it barely goes on. I find that when it gets under the light it gets thicker. Depending on the color I will have to do 3-4 coats. I have had my light since June and won't go back to regular polish.

I use an LED light which works for most polishes (like OPI, Gelish but not CND) and requires only 30 seconds for base and top coats, 60 seconds for polish coates. The UV light (which works on OPI and CND and others) takes 2 minutes per coat and because of the UV rays, you should use sun block on your skin. The LED light costs more, but shopping on Ebay and Amazon can reveal good prices. Some lights say LED then when you buy them but then read LED UV on the cover--but they are just LED. Hope this helps.

No expiration date that I know If. I really live the gel polish...lasts for Weeks but you do have to have curing light. I use the pre-moistened alcohol wipes after curing to rid the nails of the sticky residue.

I used it to paint shells and it looks great and glows pretty good as for painting glass jars it paints clear just don't glob a bunch on. I recommend the green for the longest glow it does glow for awhile.

Yes! I'm under the impression that it doesn't work that way for those who apply the polish well. But after two to three weeks, mine peel off nicely.

I think that regular polish just air dries, right? It's the gel polish that cures or hardens by use of the LED light. But I don't think that the light has the same impact on normal polish. I hope that makes sense. Maybe you can find something out by internet search on the subject; don't take my word for it.

These are soak-off gels that you use under a light. If applied correctly to nail, this particular line stays on nail for at least 10 days.

I really like them. After many layers which include (a base coat, 2 coats of nail color, and an 'instant dry' polish for the top coat) my nail polish did not bubble, and I didn't have any signs of wear and tear (chipping, peeling) for four days, which at that point, I changed colors, so it might have lasted even longer! Since I don't like "see thru" nail color, I don't like the yellows...they are thin, and I would require 3 coats of color, but the rest, you could get away with just one coat. This is by far my favorite nail polish! I am 43, and have a nail fettish...doing my nails at LEAST once a week!!! lol I really like them.
