Does this unit work with regular non-gel/non-shellac nail polish? Also, what is the voltage 110v or 220v?

110 v and yes it works with regular nail polishes. We use a uv top coat when using this lamp. We have been happy with our purchase.

The unit is 110 and will cure regular uv cured polishes. Because the watts are higher than most uv polish lamps be careful of heat sensations when nearing the polish's recommended curing time.

The voltage i 110v. I don't know if it works with any other polish. It should, but I only used Shellac, which I no longer use because it ruined my nails.

It does come with a small fan that will help with drying. But not sure what the UV lamp will do on regular polish. It runs on 220v. Bought this unit a year ago, still going strong. Hope this helps.

I had no problem using it with regular polish on acrylics. I have Question? What do you use to remove your acrylics?

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.

I don't recommend it with gel polish, as it could ripple. But its a option incase you just want to set regular polished nails or toes, for faster dry times.

If you are talking about removing regular polish from artificial gel nails, they should work since they're not acetone-based. If you are talking about removing gel polish, probably not. They're oil-based, which is the best way I can describe them. Their best use is to gently remove regular nail polish. It smells good and is less annoying to those around you.

I use the pure acetone and put it on a cotton ball then wrap the tip of my finger with tin foil and let it do its thing for about 15-20 minutes then use an orange stick to scrap off the polish it should crackle up when you take the foil off, make sure that you take a buffing block to rough up the top surface of the polish so that the acetone will work. DONT use an emery board type file you may get carried away with filing and damage your nail bed. The buffing blocks sold at Sally supply or any drug store works great just rough enough to take of the top coat off. DONT get anything to abrasive or like I said you may damage your nail bed and believe me that is quite painful! I am assuming this is your first go at the gel polishes? Did you have them done or are you thinking about doing them yourself either way I'm sure you know the steps to applying the polish and really taking the polish off is no big deal just a little time consuming because you can only work on one hand at a time. I hope I helped answer your question if you have any more I would be happy to help.

Yes! I have used my dryer with both gelish and shellac polishes with equally good results! Works like charm! :-)

For me it works with any nail polish. Its just a cover up (gel) that hardens and thats what stays shiny. Its also what the nail salons use.

I only used on gel polish, I've never tried regular polish with this dryer. However I use regular polish for color and gel bottom and topcoat.

The top coat works as well with other brands of polish. I used it with Sally Hansen salon all in one. CND polish did not wear well. I used Scrub fresh 1st. None lasts 7 days. I also have the entire shellac system- wears better, but terrible to remove. Vinyl lux is easy to remove.

Yes. You can use it on natural or acrylic nails. It works great for the latest "shellac" polishes.

Hi, I have only used Gelish polishes with the lamp, I don't know if a "shellac" polish is a gel polish. So I can't help you out there. They also say base coat should only cure for 5 seconds under lamp, but if I do under 40 seconds, they pop off after a few days.

I have this same lamp and love it! I got it almost a year ago and use it very regularly; and is yet to let me down. It works for regular nail polish and gel. I may get another one soon since having only one nail dryer can be a bit of a pain. But it's a good buy for sure!

I only use it for gel polish and works great on the first 90 second setting. I don't think it's meant for gel nails.

Hi Candice,I use a NailLuv LED lamp that is only 6 volts and it works great. I cure for 1 minute just to be safe, so if your lamp is 12 volts, you should be fine. This is a fabulous product - I have been using it on my nails constantly for the past several months and my nails are longer than ever. FYI, it's great with regular polish too, not just gel. I put on 1 layer of gel foundation & cure, then 1 - 2 layers of structure & cure, then 1 layer of gel top coat & cure - then wipe clean with alcolhol. Then ready to either apply gel or regular color. The regular polish is especially easy to remove and reapply new color without affecting the structure gel! Happy painting! Hi Candice,I use a NailLuv LED lamp that is only 6 volts and it works great.

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
