I was taught to use LED for OPI and UV for brands like CND. I was taught by a friend who used to have her nails done by a manicurist and now she does them herself. My opinion here is only what I was taught personally.

I have used led, but it doesn't last as long as uv....best to use uv I think

Yes you can cure your nails at home. I have the BETTER LED nail uv lamp. Model LL-U vLED-D12W I am happy with my lamp. My engineer husband researched the different lamps and told me this is the one that I should buy.

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

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

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!

YES, UV lights are better to dry nails. LED lights are only bright incandescent light. UV lights are ultra violet light.

With any shellac polish I only use a UV light. Don't know enough of the difference between LED & UV. I would seek a Google answer.

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

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

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.

It will cure under both. The difference is the amount if time it takes. UV is about 2 minutes where LED is about 30 seconds

You must use an LED light! I use the Gelish 18g led lamp. It's a 20second cure and works perfectly

The Lamp in question uses LED ( LIGHT EMMI TING DIODES ) to produce an ultra violet light ( UV Light ). Standard UV lamps that are not LED use Fluorescent tubes to produce the UV Light. The result of using the LED is that it gives a much more specific wavelength of light which in turn cures the polish MUCH quicker.

It's both actually. LED is the type of bulb being used (opposed to incandescent, halogen, etc). UV is the type of wavelength that bulb gives off (UV gives it the purple color).
