I purchased CND Shellac power polish - Grapefruit Sparkle. Box reads to use with UV lamp. I purchased an LED lamp. Will this polish work with the LED?

with reading other answers from nail techs, they say to use the lamp that is recommended by the product you use. I use a different Uv light than CND with my product. With glitter application it has not stayed well.

I say no. It really needs the cnd machine or something very close to it. I hope that helped.

Yes these LED lights will produce UV Light. That is how it works. You need the UV to dry the nails.

So far I have used Bundle Monster, IBD, Sally Hansen, Sensationail, Elite 99 Chameleon and Christina Gel Polish and they all work great with this lamp. I bet CND Shellac should work great.

Its LED only. The manufacturers website states it cures UV gel polish but it is a LED only lamp.

It should it is a UV light and that is whats needed for the cnd shellac, I have never used that product myself.

It should I have a uv light and it works so I am pretty sure that this will work with the led lamp. This is just a bonder so u can use any lamp for it.

NO!! I own a nail salon. There are a couple of brands that require a UV light. Just make sure the polishes that you buy are specifically for use with LED.

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's an LED lamp. Not sure about wattage. Takes 30 seconds for base/topcoats, 60 seconds for each coat of regular gel polish and 90 seconds for each coat of magnetic gel polish. Works with ANY kind of gel nail polish, even those stating to use a UV lamp. I recommend Red Carpet polish.

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.

I have a cheap/non-pro SensatioNail LED lamp and it works just fine with all brands of gelcolor polishes (orly, sensationail, etc.) - no need to adjust the curing time either (at least from my experience).

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.

Hello. We have a UV lamp. Unfortunately the gel polish is too thick to spread, and is unusable. So the lamp won't make a difference. Very unhappy with our non-refundable purchase.

I was taught to use LED for OPI and UV for brands like CND. I was taught by a friend who used to have her nails done by a manicurist and now she does them herself. My opinion here is only what I was taught personally.

It is definitely LED. UV lamps are very hard for consumers to get at retail, ebay is probably your best source. It can be used with pretty much all of the other LED polishes out there (e.g. Sensationail, Sally Hansen).

It works with most Shellac polish. There are only a few Shellac colors that the 18G LED can not cure, eq. Shellac "Romantique."

I am not sure what "UV" polish is exactly, but it works with any gel nail polish that requires UV light for curing (drying)
