Semi-Cured Gel Nails
Real gel-polish strips pre-cured to about 60% at the factory, so they stay soft and shapeable, then fully hardened on the nail under a UV/LED lamp for a glossy, salon-like set.
Trend context
Key fact
Retailers consistently document semi-cured gel strips as pre-cured to ~60%, requiring a 60-second UV/LED cure and delivering up to 2-3 weeks of wear (Starlit Gels, LA-BEK, Hello Nails).
