Do you need to use a UV light to cure this?

No! That's the best part! Not only that but, I've used all different kinds of regular nail polish with this product and it works the same (if not better) then using the CND polish. I love this product! I have saved hundreds of dollars because I do not have to go to a salon to have a gel manicure! It dries quickly and it makes your nails incredibly shiny. Plus, you can use your own nail color so you are not limited to the CND polish colors.

Thanks for your inquiry. No, you do not need a UV light to cure. Apply as a regular topcoat however this special topcoat will get harder everyday by expose to lights. You can learn more about this product at CND website. Hope this answer your question. Bpnails

VINYLUX dries naturally to a flawless finish and strengthens its resistance to chips over time.

Are you using LED or UV lamp? I used LED and it never peeled or chipped (except a broken nail while camping). On the LED lamp, I wiped nails with alcohol after filing, put on PH bond (left over from my Gelish kit), cured base coat for 45 seconds, cured first coat of color 45 seconds, cured second coat of color 45 seconds, then cured top coat for 1.5 minutes. I have not tried UV lamp because I stopped using once I got the LED one.

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.

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

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.

I had the same problem! I had a UV lamp and even ended up buying a new LED lamp because of it! I eventually did some research and I found this out: cure your nails like usual, but at the end after the top coat has been cured, WIPE IT OFF WITH ALCOHOL to remove that sticky layer! Some suggested 99%, but I just used rubbing alcohol and my nails look EXACTLY how they should, nice and shiny and hard!Now I realize I didn't have to return the UV dryer, but oh well lol. Seriously, OPI needs to include some instructions, because that stickiness is terrible.

Yes, use regular procedures for application, LED light cures faster than UV light tho, if you cure for too long, they will "pop" off, or "wrinkle"

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.

The specific item I purchased did come with an ultraviolet light. If you plan on using it while you are tanning, the light is unnecessary. However, I do use my light for touch-ups when not tanning.

I use this light to do IBD gel nails, and I get a fantastic cure in thirty seconds. Are you touching the nails after you cure--prior to removing the sticky residue with rubbing alcohol? Otherwise, there must be something wrong with the light. Cured nails will feel sticky and not cured until you clean the last layer of topcoat with alcohol.

i used a uv light and it did not cured i don't think it will work with a led lamp i would not recommend this product..

It should be curing by UV light, not temperature. If there is Sun, I believe it can work. Cloudy will make it cost long time.

Yes. I have used all Gelish products with both. LED lamps are faster to cure, 30 seconds, compared to UVB lamps curing taking 2 minutes to cure. This is the only difference. Is faster better for the price difference? Maybe if you are in a hurry.

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.

Yes it can. I don't have the uv lamp but use this product successfully all the time. Hope this helps!

it is possible... problem is accessibility to surface that needs to be exposed to this light. UV light acts on the surface... mold and mildew are often below the surface as well as on top and in crevices. this light is not designed for continuous exposure to a surface, which is what mold and mildew control would require.
