Don't you need a lamp for gel manicures?

Yes you do need an LED lamp. I bought a Jessica LED lampthrough Amazon and then needed to buy an adaptor for Australia. It works perfectly and is a lot more economical than paying for regular manicures. It may seem to cost a lot at first, but this is soon justified.

Yes, for most gels like this one, you do. A uv or led light works with geleration. I've heard the drug store brands that don't need a light peel off after a couple days. I recommend a led light since a uv light is like a tanning bed and over time may cause cancer & it dries your nails so much faster.

Hi..what I use is 36W UV lamp because its cheaper :)..I RECOMMEND U TO CHECK ON WWW.GELISH.COM because they have 1-2 different types of lamps...what I learned from the nails school was that the led lamp harden the nail quicker dan the UV lamp about 30 sec.Good luck x

No. You must have a curing lamp or the nail polish will never dry (at least that is what I gave been told).

It works with all gel polishes eventually. Some polishes require more time curing. This is not a powerful lamp, but it will get the job done.

If your nails are over an inch and a half long then they will not be be completely under the light. otherwise it works great for gel polish.

No. Use a small fan to dry regular polish. OR you can apply a coat of gel base and dry with the UV lamp. THEN apply a coat (or 2) of regular polish. Once the regular Polish is COMPLETELY dry (again - AIR dry regular polish), you can apply a gel top coat and dry with the UV lamp. I personally haven't tried this method, but I've read that this can be done when someone wants to use regular polish to extend the life of their mani. But make sure the coat of regular polish is completely dry! I hope this was helpful. :)

I did not keep this kit. I had my own lamp so I just bought the gelish products. I did a pedicure with mine but my lamp is larger.

Yep. It's the only thing you'll need, not even tools are required. I went ahead and vacuumed out some dust, but that's not a requirement. I held on to my old lamp just in case, but so far, so good.

You don't need this light for regular nail polish, and I wouldn't suggest it as it's a UV light that will be exposing your child's hands to damaging UV light without cause. This light is specifically meant for UV hardening nail polish which won't harden without it. What you want is a nail drying fan. not a light.

It does come with a UV lamp to cure the gel. However; it only can fit one finger at a time. It does have an option to move the light for toes.

Hi. I do not use the lamp. In fact, I do not even know what it does. I always thought of this product as a longer lasting nail polish, period . Wish I knew more.

My License is in Nursing, not cosmetology. However for the last 6 years I have been in a nail salon on a day basis. The OPI light I purchased was for one of the ladies that does gel polish. To my knowledge, she has not used it for feet, just hands. The shop as several lights with an opening big enough to accommodate a foot as well as a hand. This is the one that she as well as several others that do the gel polish uses. The OPI Light in question is great for hands and is easy to use!

Mine came with the Lamp, but I have seen other products that do not, so just do your research before purchasing. But in this instance yes, the full package does come with the lamp. Its small, a single finger lamp, which also means that its not as powerful, so I found that it actually took a few more minutes for it to actually seal the gel polish stripes.

Yes, led lamp included. Your entire hand fits . 3weeks before needing to change my polish.

Yes, gelish actually had a led light they sell, but the first light I had was uv and it worked just fine :-) you do need alcohol to put on top of it after your done with the color and light. It helps set it and have it dry instantly

No need it uses light. Just put it near light. Thats all. even in daylight near a window is ok, then you dont need a lamp.

You can buy a starter kit that comes with the lamp and everything you need to do your nails. Once you buy a lamp, you can use any gel brand.
