Drying gel nails without a UV lamp is difficult but possible. Opt for a LED lamp as an alternative since it uses different light technology. Otherwise, use a gel nail polish that air-dries specifically, though it may take longer and not offer the same durability. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.
