How long to cure beetle’s gel polish?
Beetles Gel Polish must be cured under a UV light for two minutes per coat. This ensures that the polish is set and will last for weeks without chipping or peeling.
What to do with beetles gel polish if you don’t have UV Light
Beetles Gel Polish can also be cured without UV light, but it will take longer for the polish to set.
Here is how:
- To cure without UV light, apply a thin coat of polish to each nail and allow it to air dry for about 30 minutes.
- Repeat this process until all coats of polish are applied.
- Finish with a top coat and let your nails completely dry before using them.
Crucial Prep Steps for a Salon-Quality Finish
The secret to ensuring your Beetles Gel Polish lasts up to two weeks without lifting lies in the preparation. Don’t rush this step!
- Nail Cleaning & Shaping: Trim your nails and file them into your preferred shape. Gently push back your cuticles with a wooden or metal cuticle pusher—never cut them, to avoid infection.
- Light Buffing: Use a gentle nail buffer to lightly remove the natural shine from your nail plate. This creates a slightly rough surface that gives the gel something to grip onto.
- Dehydrate and Cleanse: Wipe each nail thoroughly with rubbing alcohol or a specialized nail dehydrator. This removes all lingering dust, natural oils, and moisture which are the primary culprits for peeling gel polish.
Common Application Mistakes to Avoid
Even with the best preparation, application errors can ruin your manicure. Keep these pro tips in mind to avoid common pitfalls:
- Applying Thick Layers: Always apply your base, color, and top coats in very thin layers. Thick layers won’t cure properly under the UV/LED lamp and are prone to wrinkling or bubbling.
- Flooding the Cuticles: Keep the gel polish strictly on the nail plate. If polish touches your skin or cuticles, it will lift as the nail grows. Use a precision brush dipped in alcohol to clean up any edges before curing.
- Forgetting to Cap the Free Edge: When applying each layer, swipe the brush horizontally across the very tip of your nail. This “caps” the edge, sealing the polish and preventing premature chipping at the tips.

Is beetles gel polish cruelty-free?
Beetle gel polish is new and popular nail polish. It is often considered a cruelty-free option because it contains no animal-derived ingredients. However, some debate has been over whether beetle gel polish is cruelty-free. Some people claim that the manufacturing process involves cruel testing methods.
I decided to research the matter and found that, while the company does not list animal testing on its website, they are not certified by any cruelty-free organizations. This means that they may do some animal testing behind closed doors. However, there is also a chance that they are entirely cruelty-free.
At this point, it’s difficult to say whether or not beetle gel polish is cruelty-free. However, the company seems open to working with cruelty-free organizations in the future, so hopefully, we will have a definitive answer soon. In the meantime, I would recommend doing your own research before making a purchase.
