do you really need the LED light to dry the nails?

Absolutely! The light is needed to "cure" the gel polish. It isn't like a regular nail polish...

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.

I do have the light like they use in the mail shops. You can get them for $50-100. Mine has paid for itself in the first 6 months being able to do my own nails at home. I use the gel and shellac polishes and LOVE them!

I believe you need the base coat and top coat .A gel nail drying light is also necessary. After all the gels have been set under the light, the nails have to be wiped with an alcohol based cleaner to remove the stickiness.

There are two different types of light for gel/shellac nails: LED and UV. UV takes longer than LED. You need one or the other for OPI.

I am not sure...I would guess no...why would you put regular nail polish under...the LED light is for specific polish and reg. polish is not one of them...sorry I couldn't be of more assistance...Michelle

You just use nail polish remover. Nothing special. No you do not need a lamp to dry them. It is applied just like regular nail polish with the exception of there is no need for a base coat.

Hello. Yes, with the Polish I have I have to wipe off the sticky stuff. But I'm not sure if that is due to the lamp or the polish. I have used both uv and led lamps and have the same outcome. I really like this lamp though. Since I got one I have been doing my own nails at home often!

Yes you need a lamp but it us well worth it. This stays on so much longer & better than regular polish. I get tons of complements on how great my nails look.

I would suggest just getting one because it comes with 12 nail polishes. So its more than enough :). And ya it does really work! You just have to put your nails in the light. Then it glows really bright. :)

It's nit recommended but you can. You have to let your polish dry COMPLETELY though. And this product only works if you have the led lamp to cure it after applying

No, it is not for regular nail polish. There are no fans to dry, only UV lights to cure gel nails.

I did not use a led lamp to dry my nails. I will say that some nail polish is flammable or reacts to heat in a bad way, so the makeup of this product could cause it to do the same. My suggestion is to allow it to air dry. It does dry rather quickly.

from what I read it has to be the gel nailpolish with the led lamp but I am sure you can use regular nailpolish after top coat after it dries.

YES! The ultra voliet light works well to dry gel nails. I turn it on and its heat immediately. Dries my nail very quickly. I love this product

It does come with a small fan that will help with drying. But not sure what the UV lamp will do on regular polish. It runs on 220v. Bought this unit a year ago, still going strong. Hope this helps.
