Will the OPI LED lamp also cure CND Shellac products as well as Gellish?

It is my understanding that it will cure any gel polish. My manicurist used CND polish with this light and, I've used it successfully with polish I bought at Wal-Mart.

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, the lamp will cure both of those without issue. It also cures GIA top coat which I think is the best so far.

Yes! Just as long as the nail polish is a gel polish that must be cured with UV or LED light.

This is a UV Light only and will cure shellac in the required 2 minutes. Works great!

This lamp works good with OPI Pro gels. The pro lamp is probably faster and will last a lot longer but the cheaper one works good.

This lamp is best use for any opi gel polish or essie harmony gel polish...it will dry faster and easier then the uv lamp

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.

Hi Colleen, What kind of lamp are you using? I have the cheap Sensationail LED one and I only do 60 second per coat - 2 minutes seems highly unnecessary unless you're using a UV lamp (which I recommend you get rid of... UV lamps tan/age your hands, go for LED!). What brand are you using for the polish colour? If it's not OPI, that might be why you're having issues. A lot of brands aren't super compatible, especially if you're using a drugstore brand (non-pro) with OPI. I use the OPI base & top coats mostly with OPI colour and it always lasts until I remove it or it grows off. If you find yourself frequently wetting/drying your hands (e.g. a weekend spent at the beach frequently in and out of the water) you might find it starts peeling because that amount of expanding and shrinking of your nails is going to make it difficult for the polish to stay adhered. If you have naturally oily skin/nails it might just mean that gel polish isn't going to work for you. But if you've had gel polish done at a salon and it's worked just fine, then something in your technique isn't working. Finally, get the OPI bond-aid - if that doesn't help the gel polish stick to your nails (I don't use it because I find it makes it too hard to remove), then I think you're out of luck with gel polish. Try shellac (chips like crazy on me but I know it works for other people really well).

Sorry, I can't help you. I have never tried it with CND shellac. I hope someone else is able to answer your question.

Yes of course, it works with all nail gel, and the curing process is faster, and is very good lamp.

Yes, Other brands of UV/LED polish can be used w/this lamp. (So far I have only used Gelish, OPI, Gel II, Finger Paints & ASP) Essie is just simply the brand of this LED light. LED lights such as this are much faster than UV lamps. This lamp in particular will cure a color coat in 30 secs. Whereas a UV light will cure a color coat in 2 mins. This is a professional lamp at an affordable price with the automatic sensor to top it all off!

Hello, if the bulbs ever do go out in the lamp, you should be able to use any other LED Lamp to cure your polish. I would also think that you could also use a UV Lamp, but your curing time may be longer (2-3 minutes instead of the 30 to 40 seconds with LED.). I hope this helps you! Check eBay, Sally's Beauty Supply, or your local Beauty Supply Store.

Hello, The best results is when you use the same line of products, but you can use for all led polishes like shellac. Best regards NY Beauty Products

I have used it successfully with gel, shellac and regular nail polish. My preferred base & top coat is the shellac type made by CND but I would think that any UV cured products would work... your preference. :-)

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

NO! CND's Shellac is UV only. Even their brand new faster light which will be out in May is a UV/LED combo.
