Can this light be used to dry standard nail polish?

Nail polish dries on it own . This light is designed for gel polish. Using it to dry standard polish can work but it won't dry it any faster than a standard fan ...

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. :)

No, this is not a dryer. This only works with polishes that are formulated to cure with U.V. or L.E.D. light.

I never used a LED lamp to dry my nails using Vinylux Nail Polish. It dries in a short time naturally.I am going to get my manicure. I will ask my manicurist then.

Yes! Just as long as the nail polish is a gel polish that must be cured with UV or LED light.

No. This type of polish only dries with the activation of the UV light that comes from the drying machine. You can find really cheap ones on Amazon - the difference will be is you have to dry a few extra times (2-3 times suggested from my experience) to ensure the polish is fully dry. Hope this helps.

Absolutely! The light is needed to "cure" the gel polish. It isn't like a regular nail polish...

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.

Yes,it's made to "cure" the nail-polish or gel-nails after applying.It doesn't have a dryer-fan,but it heats,seals,and drys the polish in a matter of seconds when you set the timer.My daughter says it works really well.People buy this product and think it doesn't work due to no dryer-fan,but the heat is actually what dries the polish,so it does work and fast.

from what I read it has to be the gel nailpolish with the led lamp but I am sure you can use regular nailpolish after top coat after it dries.

It works with all gel polishes eventually. Some polishes require more time curing. This is not a powerful lamp, but it will get the job done.

Yes, just polish your nails and use the product when your nails are partially dry.

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

I am not sure...I would guess no...why would you put regular nail polish under...the LED light is for specific polish and reg. polish is not one of them...sorry I couldn't be of more assistance...Michelle

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.

18 watts is plenty for LED. Gel Polish dries in 30 seconds. I absolutely love my lamp. 36watts is for UV lamps which take 2 minutes to dry gel polish.
