Does it dry best with led or uv lamp?

You do not need an led lamp or uv lamp for this nail gel. It dries incredibly quick and stays neat for days.

I don't use either. I layer this with polish, top with a quick dry top coat and it works beautifully.

I downloaded the timer on my phone. Go apps and type the word Timer and download it.

No, you need a UV lamp. I have even heard several people try the LED and it will not cure.

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

NO!! I own a nail salon. There are a couple of brands that require a UV light. Just make sure the polishes that you buy are specifically for use with LED.

I have always used an LED bulf with this lamp...Love the lamp...I use a curly coiled LED...not a lot of electricity for the concentrated light...I read by this lamp a lot

I wouldn't use a uv unless it says specifically. And the base coat helps to strengthen whereas this helps to dry only. But they do have one for multiple use

Shellac will only cure under a UV lamp. LED lamps are different from UV lamps... I double checked to make sure that I was correct and found this answer on a nail blog:"Shellac was not formulated with the right photoinitiators to cure properly in an LED lamp. If you try it, expect all the problems you'd see with under curing or over curing". I bought the CND UV lamp right here on Amazon and I love it! It has different settings on it.

It's 100 % LED. What it means is this lamp can cure BOTH LED gel and UV gel.

I've used this with both an LED lamp and bulb lamp and both work well. LED seems to cure a little faster.

Hello. Yes, with the Polish I have I have to wipe off the sticky stuff. But I'm not sure if that is due to the lamp or the polish. I have used both uv and led lamps and have the same outcome. I really like this lamp though. Since I got one I have been doing my own nails at home often!

There are no LED lights in this lamp. The instructions for shellac are not in the realm of how I cure that product. I like this lamp, but don't count on the UV bulbs to cure shellac or other like OPI Gel Polish.I do like the options for how long to cure - it is handy that way.

I don't know...I have a UV light, from research...only LED can cure LED specific polish

UV or LED lamp will cure most gel polishes. LED will get the job done faster but will cost you more initially. I got my UV lamp from here on Amazon when it was about 50% off and it works great for me. I love Gelish!

As long as it is an UV lamp it should be fine. I've never used the OPI brand lamp before, but I know that as long as the bulb intensity (wattage) is similar, the gel polish will dry under it. The lamp I use with this is a UV light of 45 Watts, which I believe is slightly on the more powerful side (usually people use ~36W). I just double checked and these polish can be used with LED lights as well, and the cure time is a bit shorter than the UV lamp.

BOTH. From what I read on the manual and my observation, it is a saver form of UV light. It is LED light for sure but the color of the LED light is similar to UV color spectrum and it also generate heat. So it can dry gel nail really quick because the LED light is emitting in UV light. I think it is saver that regular tanning UV fluorescent light. We like it some much we bought two. Little expensive but highly recommend it. Hope this help.

Since I just started with Shellac nails I cannot say yes to led light I went with the recommended UV light. Sorry.

I have been using this with an led lamp and curing the color for 1 min for gelcolor use very thin coats then build up that is key 2-3 should be opaque.
