Is this tips only? Or does it have a nude overlay like Sally Hansen? Do they require a gel light?

Tips only. Prefer to gel coat them it lasts longer. Beyond a doubt these are easy and look salon treated with a gel overlay.

Tips only, though they are available with the nude overlay as well. Just apply a clear overcoat over the nail once the tips are applied. I follow up with Seche Vite topcoat after the clear coat of regular nail polish. If you don't the Seche Vite peels off rather quickly, not so once applied over polish. No gel light needed.

no lights needed. I have custom trays and the gel just slides into them..10 min is all it really takes. This is strong stuff and works very well. Its all I use. Been using it for a few years now and I just love the results

No - this is for regular nail polish. You would need a UV or LED light (depending on what type of gel polish it is).

You need to use the uv lamp for the gel nail polish because that is what cures it. It will just be a sticky mess that will wipe off without the lamp. The kit does come with the acrylic powder.

I'm not sure what you are referring to but...you will need an LED or UVA lamp to cure the gel. OPI suggest using an LED which decreases the amount of time under the light. I use my UVA light but I do increase the time to two minutes for each layer. I.d also suggest using bond aid before applying the base coat.

I have been using GEL UV curing polish since October 2011. And yes, at home with an UV light I ordered off of Amazon. Just search for "36W UV curing light" and it will pop up. I paid approximately $40.00 and it has never failed since 2011.

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.

Insofar as I know, no, but that's because the microfiber or whatever doesn't really wear out... It's not like a rubber tip on most of the other styli I've used. After putting it this model through more than its share of abuse, I have yet to "wear out" a tip.

Hi S. Julian, The Nova LED Lamp is designed specifically to cure LED gel polishes like Gelish, Orly Gel FX, CND Shellac and Gelicious. Curing times will vary depending on the brand. Traditional gels commonly found in a salon that aren't "gel polishes" typically come in a jar and are applied with a brush. These require UV lamps to be cured. UV lamps can also cure LED gels, but they take about 8-10 times longer vs LED lamps.

They come with I believe 3 extra tips which you can switch out. Mine were ALL dried out, including the tips. I will probably soak mine in nail polish remover and they should be fine. Hope this helps.

You should only put one coat of base clear,then pour under UV lite for two mins. Then for another two mins after each gel color coat n followed by top gel coat and last two mins under lite! You are putting you're nails under the lights too long and it's melting your polish instead of hardening it!!!

You´ll find that tip wears ´till its end. Another possibility is excesive dry of the element but It shouldn´t happen since you keep it close and away from direct light. Use as much as you want in order to feel confortable while playing. This is a good one in my gear.

Yes, but be careful. What you get will depend on where or whom you order these from. When Monster first made Supertips, the gel tips were distincty round/spherical. Later these were discontinued and replaced with tips that were smaller and a completely different shape (Monster called them tapered). Old tips = round. New tips = tapered. The consensus seems to be that it's much harder (impossible in my case) to achieve any kind of seal with the new tips. The picture here on Amazon's website shows the old tips, but if you order from Amazon directly, you'll receive the new tips :-( There are two companies I'm aware of that still have a stock of the better, old-generation tips. Buywireless are selling through Amazon. However, they seem to have stored their tips at high temperatures and when you do that with the gel tips, the gel tends to seep out and the tips end up looking like little deflated soccer balls. Your best option is to look online for a company called Sonic Electronix. They still sell good quality old (large-size) tips.

All tips are black, however, mine got lighter with constant use.Hope this helps.

When I ordered, it came with the pinspot and color gels. The color gels are really plastic caps that fit in front of the lamp. And they reduce the light a lot. If you are planning on using one of the darker colors, you will need to place the lamp very close to the ball. For example if you use the blue color, the lamp will need to be within 8ft of the ball.
