Protect The Skin That Isn't Getting The Manicure

S&L Fingerless Gel Manicure UV Gloves are stretch-knit gloves that cover the back of your hand and wrist while your nails cure. Fingertips stay out so you can keep working.

UPF 50+ blocks 99% of UVA and UVB. Reusable, machine washable, one size. Black or pink.

What They Do

Gel cures under UVA light. Your fingertips have to be exposed. The back of your hand is the largest area of skin under the lamp, and it's there for the full cure on every layer and every set.

These gloves cover that area. The UV blocking is in the fibre itself, not a surface coating, so washing doesn't remove it. Multiple washes don't reduce the protection.

Who They're For

Anyone doing gel regularly. Several minutes under the lamp per set across base, color, and top coat. It accumulates.

Drivers. UVA passes through car side windows. Hands on the wheel get more sun than most people realise, and these work the same way outside the salon.

Outdoors. Walking, cycling, gardening. Anywhere your hands are exposed and you'd rather not put sunscreen on them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do UV gloves protect your fingertips during a gel manicure?

No. S&L Gel Manicure UV Gloves are fingerless by design, so your fingertips and the skin around your nails stay exposed to the lamp. That exposure is unavoidable, because gel only cures under UVA light. The gloves cover the back of the hand and wrist, which is the largest area of skin under the lamp and the area with the most cumulative exposure over years of manicures.

Are they machine washable?

Yes. S&L Gel Manicure UV Gloves are reusable. Hand wash or machine wash in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and dry flat away from direct heat.

The UV protection comes from the fabric itself rather than a surface treatment (ie. Titanium Dioxide), so ordinary washing does not remove it, but stretching, snagging, and abrasion will thin the weave over time, and thinner fabric lets more UV through.

When to wash them. Filing dust, cuticle oil, and hand cream build up in the weave and can make the fabric stiff. Washing every few manicures is enough for home and salon use.

If gel gets on the glove (this is the important one). Wipe the spot immediately with a lint-free wipe and 99% isopropyl alcohol, before it goes anywhere near the lamp. If the gel has soaked through to your skin, take the glove off and wash your hands before continuing.

What material are they made of?

S&L Gel Manicure UV Gloves are made from a 90% nylon / 10 spandex fibre composition stretch knit, with no latex in the fabric or the cuff.

The fibre content is what does the UV blocking. A tightly knit synthetic blocks far more UVA than a loose cotton or acrylic glove of the same thickness.

On fit. The spandex content gives the fabric enough stretch to fit a range of hand sizes from one size. It's a snug knit, not a compression fit. It should sit close without leaving marks.

One practical note: synthetics don't like acetone. Keep gel remover and remover-soaked cotton off the fabric.
