At LA-BEK, we’re always looking for ways to make beautiful nails more accessible. Our much-loved semi-cured gel wraps have helped thousands achieve salon-worthy nails from home, and now we’re adding another option to your mani toolkit — UV-Free Gel Nail Wraps.
Both are made with premium real gel technology and deliver long-lasting results, but each suits a slightly different routine. Here’s how to decide which one is your perfect match.
Semi-Cured Gel Nail Wraps: The classic at-home gel look
Semi-cured wraps are made from real gel that’s about 60% cured. They’re soft, flexible, and easy to shape when applying. Once positioned, you cure them under a UV or LED lamp to fully harden and achieve that strong, glossy salon finish.
They’re perfect if you:
-
Enjoy the ritual of a full manicure session.
-
Want the ultra-durable, professional feel of cured gel.
-
Already own a UV lamp or don’t mind using one.
Semi-cured wraps remain one of the most reliable, long-lasting nail options on the market — offering up to two weeks of wear with proper prep and sealing.
UV-Free Gel Nail Wraps: The effortless anywhere mani
Our new UV-Free Gel Nail Wraps are for those who love convenience without compromise. They’re made from the same real gel formula — just pre-cured and ready to apply.
That means:
-
No lamp needed.
-
No drying time.
-
No waiting.
Simply peel, press, and file for a flawless gel look in minutes.
Because they’re fully cured, the wraps stay stable inside the pack — they won’t harden over time or react to heat or light. That makes them perfect for travel, quick touch-ups, or keeping in your bag for a mid-week refresh.
They’re ideal if you:
-
Want salon results without the setup.
-
Prefer a quicker routine or are short on time.
-
Have sensitive skin or like to skip the lamp occasionally.

Why LA-BEK loves both
Every nail lover has their own style — some enjoy the process, while others just want quick perfection. That’s why we’re offering both options.
Our semi-cured range gives you that classic, hard-set salon finish, while the UV-Free range delivers instant results with the same premium gel quality.
It’s not about better or worse — it’s about versatility. You might use semi-cured for special events and UV-Free for busy weeks or travel. Both provide the same glossy, chip-resistant result that LA-BEK is known for.
Removal and aftercare
Both types are gentle to remove. Simply soak nails in warm water, apply a cuticle oil pen or a few drops of oil, and lift gently with a wooden stick — never peel off dry.
To maximise wear, keep nails free from oils before applying, avoid water for the first two hours, and store wraps flat in a cool, dry place.
