No—you’ll have to use either the Glaze Extensions LED Lamp or the One Gel LED Lamp to cure these. The Glaze Mini LED Lamp is not strong enough to fully cure Glaze Extensions, so please do not attempt!

The Glaze Extensions LED Lamp is compatible with ALL Dashing Diva products. Glaze Extensions will also cure with the One Gel LED Lamp. Do not attempt to cure with the Glaze Mini LED Lamp or the GelXtend LED Lamp, as neither delivers sufficient wattage for a full cure.

The Glaze Extensions LED Lamp is 10W—slightly stronger than the Glaze Mini LED Lamp (6W). Because Glaze Extensions require a higher wattage to fully cure, it’s important to use the correct lamp. Using insufficient wattage may result in an incomplete cure and compromised wear. 

There are three different ways to position the lamp—refer to the options below to find the setup that works best for you: 

• FOR SPEED: Unfold both legs and place the lamp upright in a tabled position to cure four fingers at once. Cure thumb separately.
  
  
• FOR SCULPTING: Fold one leg in and extend the other to angle the lamp on a 45-degree angle. This allows you to sculpt the nail as it cures using your free hand, without restricting movement.
  
  
• FOR FLEXIBILITY: Fold both legs in completely and hold the lamp in one hand as you cure the nail(s) on the other for max control and precision.

Yes—Glaze Extensions are perfectly safe for anyone with a gel allergy! 

If you wish to re-shape or shorten Glaze Extensions, you may do so by filing AFTER curing. Do not trim with a clipper or scissor—this will lead to the nail cracking!

Glaze Extensions already have a pre-applied adhesive, therefore they do not require any additional nail glue. For optimal results, please follow the original instructions and cure the strips under LED light, rather than using nail glue and letting nails air dry. Application methods are not interchangeable and will result in unsuccessful wear.

Some designs need a second cure to reach max strength. Gently press the edge of the nail tip or tap it against the lamp—if there’s a noticeable amount of give/flexibility, cure once more to increase hardness.

These are actually perfect for weak or damaged nails* when the correct prep and removal is followed. Glaze Extensions act as a layer of protection, allowing your natural nails the opportunity to uninterruptedly grow without breaking throughout wear. Use Magic Off+ to safely and gently remove Glaze Extensions without compromising the health of your nails. 

*If nails are in critical condition, please consult a healthcare professional prior to use. 

When selecting your sizes, always size down! The biggest culprit to nails prematurely lifting is selecting a size too large for your nail bed. Always lift the strip from the free-edge side (indicated by the ▼ above each strip), as minimizing contact with the adhesive will ensure optimal adhesion.

Also, be sure to apply the anti-stick sealant to avoid dust, hair, and anything else from sticking underneath your nail tips. 

Lastly and MOST IMPORTANTLY, always store remaining strips in their container with the cover on. Exposing the strips to any light source can compromise future wear by hardening them prior to the next use.
