The backs of my hands are in &lt;3 with these gloves
I get my nails did every 2-4 weeks. The various nail techs have attempted to assure me that the new LED lamps &#34;don't cause any damage&#34;. But I have a hard time believing that a device that makes my fingernails feel like they've been kissed by fire doesn't do ANYTHING to the delicate tops of my hands.<br /><br />Because of this, I have been slathering my hands in an extra coat of sunscreen prior to each salon visit. But I knew this method  was inadequate and that I needed something more protection - something physical.<br /><br />I have worn UV-blocking gloves before (driving, etc). I have even tried to wear some to the salon with the fingers cut off, but the fluffiness from the gloves stuck to my polish and pissed off my hard-working nail tech.<br /><br />So I decided to order these babies. And they work beautifully! The cover my hands entirely, leaving just the top nail/cuticle area peaking out. I usually give my nail tech a heads-up in the beginning of my appointment that I am (rightfully, slightly) neurotic and brought some gloves to wear for the light curing process. They have me put these on after they've done their usual drilling and filing, right before they apply the polish and top coat. I'm finally able to put my hands in the nail cooker guilt-free.<br /><br />I bought these gloves in black so I wouldn't have anything that would interfere with my choice of nail color. They are made of a stretchy, sporty material.<br /><br />I'm also going to be ordering more colors, because they would also make great UV blocking gloves for outside of the nail salon. Why? They give you essential UV protection while leaving your finger tips available for sweet, sweet access to your smart phone.
