nail lamp

Manicure drying device

A nail lamp is a small device that emits UV or LED light to cure gel nail polish, hardening it quickly during manicures.

The user places their hand inside the lamp for timed intervals: My gel manicure took forever because the nail lamp kept timing out.

Also called a nail dryer, though technically it cures rather than dries.
