I don't see that this lamp has anything to do with brand Gelish. Nor sure why it is in the name. I have used it with many different gel polishes. But bottomline, I like Gelish polish best. I wasn't keen on IBD even before I got the LED lamp so having the lamp didn't make IBD work better for me.

Yes, I actually use it with IBD gel polish. All gel polishes work on the same principle, uv light cured.

Hi Shannon, Yes you can use this light with Shellac. Shellac and Gel are similar products. They both look beautiful like polish but last for several weeks without chipping or smudging. Your nails will look freshly painted all the time. Shellac is a brand name from CND. I do not know why it cost more, maybe research and development... Gel lasts a little longer but both are great products. Both need to be soaked off to remove. Good luck....Happy Holidays...Alex

I really don't know. Everything I have read says you need to check the brand of polish to see what kind of light works with it and the curing times. Maybe they have a web site that would have that information. Sorry I am not more help.

Yes you can use any brand gel polish. I bought a sally Hansen brand Polish from target and it worked just fine. Also I would buy a different nail dehydrator/primer because the one included in this kit sucks! The polish always lifts after 4 days!

I just got my lamp this past December. I have tried it using gelish and kiss brands. Both brands worked perfect with this lamp.

Yes, Sully. I haven't found a gel polish that it doesn't work with. And I have had mine for quite some time and all of the lights are still working. Good luck!

No, it is not a Soak Off Gel and you must use an LED Nail Lamp. Gelish does have a Structure Soak Off Gel that Amazon sells, its in a white container just like this one and works great to make your gel nails stronger.

LED cures faster. Not all gel polish will cure in LED, most do, but you have to make sure it's labelled as such.

Thank you for responding to my post. I, too, use Gelish and want to make sure that I choose the right light. Do you happen to know what the wattage is for the Nova? I know that the Gelish lamp is 45w for the 9g and 30w for the 6g. I'm trying to wrap my mind around how that difference will affect the cure! I'm leaning more towards the Nova, so this info will help.

The nail polish has to contain the photo receptors for LED lights. I use Gelish polish and it contains both UV and LED photo receptors. Not all gel polishes contain both receptors, so you'll have to check with the manufacturer.

Yep! Any led lamp should work with any gel polish, though there might be a slight difference in timing.

The light works great on all types of gel polish. In my salon, we use Gelish, OPI, Jessica, Cacee, and Shellac. All of them cure fine after one time under the light for 60 seconds.

Yes, works great with an LED light! I'm pretty sure all Gelish products can cure with LED or UV.

Yes. The Gelish products are designed to work with LED lights. Needs to cure in LED for 30 seconds or UV for 3 minutes.
