LED cures faster. Not all gel polish will cure in LED, most do, but you have to make sure it's labelled as such.

Any brand will work like gelish or ibd. As long as it's a gel polish that needs to be cured this light will do the trick. Make sure you use a base coat usually referred to as a foundation coat and a top coat usually referred to as top it off. Once the last layer is on, spray a napkin with alcohol and rub the excess off your nails for the finishing touch.

I'm not sure what you are referring to but...you will need an LED or UVA lamp to cure the gel. OPI suggest using an LED which decreases the amount of time under the light. I use my UVA light but I do increase the time to two minutes for each layer. I.d also suggest using bond aid before applying the base coat.

No, The gelish polish is very liquid and does dry at all until it is put under the light. There is a UV light and an UV/LED light. Most gelish polishes work with either light. The UV/LED is the newer product on the market and is preferred. That is because the UV/LED light dryes quicker and does not tan or harm your hands, there is no need to use sun tan lotion when using the UV/LED light.

Yes you can use any brand gel polish. I bought a sally Hansen brand Polish from target and it worked just fine. Also I would buy a different nail dehydrator/primer because the one included in this kit sucks! The polish always lifts after 4 days!

You can use it for any type of gel polish. I have Gelish 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

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.

Funny you ask. I ran out of gelish base and top coat. And use a different brand I had. Turned out just as good. Just be sure to use gel products and clean nail bed well. Hope this helps.

I just got my lamp this past December. I have tried it using gelish and kiss brands. Both brands worked perfect with this lamp.

Hi, I have not used shellac, I have personally used IBD builder gels and sealers, I would recommend to see if your brand is made to use with a uv light, and if so, the then it should work fine. Hope this helps!

i'm guessing it will work with any kind of gel polish as long as you are doing it right... i have been using it with the 'gelish' brand and it works just fine i think as long as you have good gel polish ( be it gelish, shelac, or opi gel polish) it should work just fine

I use all of the gel polishes. Harmony, Sally Hanson, etc... They all work great with the lamp.

Sorry, I've only used the Gelish brand so far! (And it works great with that!)

All gel products including gel polishes are extremely light sensitive and will cure in all lights. Will just vary on cure times depending on wattage and power.
