Glazed donut nails are one of the most searched nail trends of recent years—and for good reason. The look is sheer, luminous, and surprisingly wearable for every occasion. Made famous by Hailey Bieber, this glossy, pearl-white manicure has taken over social media and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Gel Nail Lamps are safe to use, you’re not alone. Questions around UV exposure are common, especially for at-home gel manicures and pedicures.
