We sell the glue, the tape and the under-eye patches from this list. What we stock
UV lash extensions
What a UV set adds.
The lashing is the same. Four things join the list, and the hygrometer comes off it.
-
A UV lash glue
A light-cured adhesive in place of the regular one. It sets when the lamp shines on it.
-
A UV LED lash lamp
One that puts out 395 to 420 nm at about 5 W, switched by a foot pedal.
-
UV-protective eyewear
For the artist, who looks towards the lamp all day.
-
Black tape and black patches
They cover the client's lids and under-eyes, so only the lash line sees the light.
