IDK, sorry. But, I'll tell you what, it's worth it to have the UV. I pd about $29 for mine. Where you benefit is that ur nails dry quickly, you don't have to do your nails as often, and with ROCK you can use all the dupe polishes that sell for $1.98, yup, and they will LAST AND SHINE better than those costing much, much, more!! I change my polish, only when my na grow out (& they grow fast w Rock), or I just want to change polish colors. Ha!!! I WILL ONLY USE ROCK forevermore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure u buy the base coat too. Together, they're magic!!!

Although I have not tried curing with LED lighting, this top coat dries relatively quickly on its own. My experience has been that, once dry, it retains its high gloss finish for up to nearly two weeks. It's the best ... I reorder in multiples.

This light will cure any paint or epoxy that's effected by UV light. I imagine even regular polish would harden a little quicker(but then you're just getting unnecessary UV exposure).

It will work with LED much faster than with a UV lamp...but you must use one or the other.

Mine came with little led light shown in the box.It only cure one finger at a time.If you want to try how it works, this kid is good. ( I also bought reguler kit that come with bigger LED light which works better)

Yes you can cure at home with the correct light. A LED UV light will cure opi gelcolors but not opi axxium! Axxium can be cured with an UV light only. UV lights are less expensive but take longer to cure- usually 2 minutes per coat. A LED UV light only takes 30 seconds to cure so it is more expensive 100$ and >

you have to have a uv lamp, apply base coat put under light 30 seconds, every coat after that including top coat 3 minutes under lamp separately, finish with alcohol to cure it

There are NO LED bulbs for this lamp - it is UV only so don't expect any 30 second cures. Must be 2 minutes and will cure the gel that way ok. I resold this lamp since I already have a UV lamp and did't need another one.

Hi Carla, yes, the UV light is needed to cure the gel. The base and yop cat ate also needed and have to be cured with the light as well. It's a really pretty color too. Enjoy! - Dr.Anne

This is an LED light. The polish bottle should say if it is UV curable or LED curable. Some polish brands, like gelish, can use either. Others specify one or the other.

UV light is for nail drying. LED light is for the timer. I thought you misread the description. You need to do two times to get nail dried. I got headache from the UV light, therefore, I am not using it very much. It is quite big and heavy. It has excessive room for one hand but is tight for both hands in.

Shellac will only cure under a UV lamp. LED lamps are different from UV lamps... I double checked to make sure that I was correct and found this answer on a nail blog:"Shellac was not formulated with the right photoinitiators to cure properly in an LED lamp. If you try it, expect all the problems you'd see with under curing or over curing". I bought the CND UV lamp right here on Amazon and I love it! It has different settings on it.

You can cure the CND Shellac Top and Base Coat gels with a UV LED light, not just a plain LED light. It has to be "ultraviolet" light, in order to cure the gel. The new gel lights are UV LED lights. It takes less time to cure the gel using the UV LED lights, too! You can buy them at some drugstores, now, in the gel polishes section.

It takes 30 seconds per coat to cure. Uv lights take 2 minutes per coat. I love this light and I do my nails about once a week so it was a good investment for me. I know they have a smaller LED light kit at Walmart for about $40 that a friend of mine purchased.

I Jessica, I have never used Gelish with a LED lamp. Quality of Gelish is very good and works well with UV Lamp, it looks very shiny. I have got a UV lamp for less than $20 and it has been working very good. That' only a suggestion.

Hi Ann. The label on the can gives all kinds of warnings about flammability during use but mentions nothing about after it cures so, I called the 1-800 number for more info. Angela, in the technical department says that after the product has cured, it's fine. Give it at least 24 hours to cure. If you're really concerned give it 2 to 3 days. Once the product has cured, all flammable contents have flashed off and will not ignite. I had asked specifically about using a 60 watt light bulb (incandescent) in this instance. It should be just fine. Go ahead and make your lamp shade.

I don't know, I can only answer for how it has worked for me. I also have another small travel LED that I have the same issue with. For the people that it doesn't cure are the same ones that don't cure in the other lamp, but they cure in the UV. This is only my experience.

I am not sure I understand your question? if you have an infection? AN LED lamp will not cure this, if I miss understood your question please ask again and I will try to respond. The LED lamp uses special polish, CND makes the best nail shellacs in many colors, but it is a process to remove.I bought this lamp as a gift for our Grandaughter who is a cosmetologist and she does my nails.
