Do I have to buy a UV or LED light to cure the polish?

yes! any led or uv light brand will work fine. I personally would recommend LED over UV. It cured faster.

Yes, you need the LED light in order to develop the gelish polish :) try the MelodySusie LED Light Lamp Gel Nail Dryer for Curing LED Gel & Gelish Nail Polish.I bought it and Im SOOOO HAPPY WITH IT!!! Try it!

Yes, the brand of the polish and lamp do not matter just as long as they are gel polishes and either a UV or LED lamp

Gel manicures need to be cured under a uv or led lamp. Nails need to be soaked off in acetone. Top coat, color and base coat. All cured.

I have an LED light, but to answer your question Yes you have to have either LED or UV light to dry this product.

This light comes with UV Bulbs only. There are NO LED bulbs. I bought this lamp because it said it cures with LED light. I also sold it because it has no LED to cure the gel polish. I already have a UV lamp, I didn't need another one.

You can cure the CND Shellac Top and Base Coat gels with a UV LED light, not just a plain LED light. It has to be "ultraviolet" light, in order to cure the gel. The new gel lights are UV LED lights. It takes less time to cure the gel using the UV LED lights, too! You can buy them at some drugstores, now, in the gel polishes section.

Are you using LED or UV lamp? I used LED and it never peeled or chipped (except a broken nail while camping). On the LED lamp, I wiped nails with alcohol after filing, put on PH bond (left over from my Gelish kit), cured base coat for 45 seconds, cured first coat of color 45 seconds, cured second coat of color 45 seconds, then cured top coat for 1.5 minutes. I have not tried UV lamp because I stopped using once I got the LED one.

Its LED only. The manufacturers website states it cures UV gel polish but it is a LED only lamp.

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

As far as I know, only CND UV will work for shellac. Though some claim to use LED and say it works fine, others say the shellac really doesn't cure properly. Perhaps contacting the company would give you a more definitive answer.

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.

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! I use an LED light with my gelish polishes and have never had any problems.

No. Use a small fan to dry regular polish. OR you can apply a coat of gel base and dry with the UV lamp. THEN apply a coat (or 2) of regular polish. Once the regular Polish is COMPLETELY dry (again - AIR dry regular polish), you can apply a gel top coat and dry with the UV lamp. I personally haven't tried this method, but I've read that this can be done when someone wants to use regular polish to extend the life of their mani. But make sure the coat of regular polish is completely dry!I hope this was helpful. :)

Hello! My husband bought me this for Valentines Day and it works great. It is LED, which is better than UV. It will dry polish that says UV and in a shorter time. Usually 60 seconds for light colors and 90 seconds for dark colors. Hope this helps.

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!
