Suns out, lamps out (of sight). Get a lamp-less gel polish manicure at home using UNITY Gel Polish and #BSGSolarCure. SolarCure is a unique feature that is found only in our UNITY Gel Polish’s formula. It allows our one-step gel polish to cure using natural sunshine! All you need is a bottle of your favourite UNITY (which has built in base, colour and top) and the sun! We asked brand ambassador Hanna of @diynails._ to try a UNITY SolarCure gel manicure for the first time and her review is in!
How was your overall experience with UNITY SolarCure?
“I had such a great experience using SolarCure! Having gotten used to the benefits of a gel polish manicure (long-lasting, vibrant colors, maximum coverage) it was amazing to see you can get all of that by just curing your polish in the sun. It dried much faster than air-drying regular nail polish and lasted much longer too! After two weeks the only nail that started chipped was my thumb (after trying to install an AC unit). Not needing to use a lamp also means you can give yourself a gel polish manicure anywhere which is a huge bonus for me too.”

What was your favourite or most beneficial aspect of UNITY SolarCure?
“My main tip would be to start with a thin layer and build from there. Just like when you're curing gel polish with a lamp, it applies much better with thin layers. I would also say be careful where you place the bottle of polish and keep it out of direct sunlight! I made that mistake briefly and the polish around the cap of the bottle started to thicken.”
After trying out SolarCure, do you have any tips for any first-timers?

Are there any additional comments you would like to share about the SolarCure 🙂
“I was truly blown by how long my manicure lasted without chipping because curing in the sun seemed too easy and too similar to air-drying but that was truly all you needed to get a high-quality manicure! Especially for those who do their own nails at home, SolarCure is such a helpful option for getting a gel polish manicure quickly or on the go.”

I would be interested to see how it differs in quality from the 3-step, I would try it! Could be a game changer if it’s comparable since you don’t have to worry about base+top coat :)
Would you have to apply in the shade and the go into the sun? A how to video would be handy
I’ve never tried curing in sunlight but I looove the Unity polishes!!
Love this polish! Easy at home mani! Looks beautiful for two weeks!
I can’t wait to try the Unity! :)
So genius!!! I love the bright yellow and to cure in the ☀️…..❤️!
Now this is a must try !! I’m intrigued! I will be trying it out for sure.
Very interesting! I would love for my daughter and I to try this! I think it would also be perfect for TOES.💗 I can’t wait to order some!👏🏾
Brilliant to provide options with gel lamp /gel lamp less. I’d like to try it.
I’m very excited to give this a try!
What an interesting polish! I definitely would love to try.
I have not tried Solar Cure but this is a perfect solution to chipped nails if you’re on vacation. Will try it!
Definitely trying this out! Will be a lifesaver if my nails chip on vacation!!
Very interesting! I’d be willing to try with some of the Unity polishes I already own…as a previous commenter asked, how long does the polish take to cure in the sun (assuming bright sunshine)?
Ooh, I will have to try this with one of the Unity polishes I already own. How long do you need to leave them in the sun?
Can’t wait to try it!
I am definitely interested in trying something that does not require a lamp. I would try this product. So convenient especially when going on vacation. I am a nail dipper and I have never done gel at home just because of the lamp requirement but this product has me excited.
I’ll be trying it out, not sure which colour to buy first😀
