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.

Yes this will, however please note that Curing times may vary depending on polish colors or brand.

This lamp is best use for any opi gel polish or essie harmony gel polish...it will dry faster and easier then the uv lamp

This works perfectly for shellac. I have no personal experience with gel so I can't answer that question. Shellac is expensive but worth it. I routinely have it on my nails for 3 weeks

I have not used cnd shellac, but it should work. If in doubt, you can leave your nails under the light a minute or two longer just to insure a good cure.

Yes...that is the first ingredient listed. It works very well to remove jel or shellac nail coatings done at a salon. Hope this helps!

Yes, All OPI Gel polishes need to cure under a UV light. Depending on which UV light you have will depend on the cure time. 30 sec to 3 minutes per coat.

No you have to use the LED light to cure gel products. If you have the light I know people who do use the gel top coat on regular polish I've never tried it though so I'm not sure if it works well.

I would assume it would, Just need to find the correct polishing compound. Would use the black pad with a mild polish first, and if needed, then switch to buff majic. Pro-polish should help to resore the color and remove light oxidation.

This, dear Hdance, I can't say since gel color is something new. But I maybe able to find out for you. All I know is that you can use it over regular polish.

Curing time for gel polish is 1 minute. For top and base coats its 30 seconds.

I haven't used them on the Shellac or LED nails. What I usually do is use regular nail polish on top of my no chip with the nail tape to create a design because I don't think once you cure it that the nail tape will come off unless you are leaving the nail tape on for a design then it will work. But I just use seche vite top coat an regular polish to create a design on top of LED polishes. Feel free to ask any more questions I am happy to answer and I hope this helps!

Yes, but you have to make sure your regular polish coats are thoroughly dry. I've done it before and it cured fine under a uv 36 watt lamp.

Hi S. Julian, The Nova LED Lamp is designed specifically to cure LED gel polishes like Gelish, Orly Gel FX, CND Shellac and Gelicious. Curing times will vary depending on the brand. Traditional gels commonly found in a salon that aren't "gel polishes" typically come in a jar and are applied with a brush. These require UV lamps to be cured. UV lamps can also cure LED gels, but they take about 8-10 times longer vs LED lamps.

I have been using GEL UV curing polish since October 2011. And yes, at home with an UV light I ordered off of Amazon. Just search for "36W UV curing light" and it will pop up. I paid approximately $40.00 and it has never failed since 2011.

I think all gelish polishes work with both UV and LED lights. I used a UV light for two years, and just recently got their LED light, I've never had issue curing any of my polishes (including mint icing) using either. UV just takes longer.
