Can you cure your nails at home with a light? What type of light do you suggest that I buy in order to do my nails at home?

Yes you can cure at home with the correct light. A LED UV light will cure opi gelcolors but not opi axxium! Axxium can be cured with an UV light only. UV lights are less expensive but take longer to cure- usually 2 minutes per coat. A LED UV light only takes 30 seconds to cure so it is more expensive 100$ and &gt;

I have a Thermal Spa Professional V2 that works fine. I recently heard that OPI makes one that dries in 30 seconds. I would check into that one if I didn't already have one. Have fun playing with your nails!

I have been using GEL UV curing polish since October 2011. And yes, at home with an UV light I ordered off of Amazon. Just search for "36W UV curing light" and it will pop up. I paid approximately $40.00 and it has never failed since 2011.

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 think you are supposed to use nail polish for as long as you are putting that nail stuff on your nails.I read it somewhere before I ordered it. Maybe for a special occasion would be ok, but that nail stuff hasto penetrate your nail and it can't with nail polish on the nail.

Yes, for most gels like this one, you do. A uv or led light works with geleration. I've heard the drug store brands that don't need a light peel off after a couple days. I recommend a led light since a uv light is like a tanning bed and over time may cause cancer & it dries your nails so much faster.

UV .. there may be some benefit to using this type of light to reduce skin irritation around the fingers and nail areas.I'm not suggested daily exposure ... ask your "Doc" .. it certainly helped my wife as a discovery to drying her nails.Use on toes as well.

Yes uv or led. I use Sensational my nailene from Wal-Mart. You can find them at Sally's for about 15.00. Or check here at Amazon. I would recommend LED. It works faster. Good luck. Hope this helps

If your nails are over an inch and a half long then they will not be be completely under the light. otherwise it works great for gel polish.

I have this same lamp and love it! I got it almost a year ago and use it very regularly; and is yet to let me down. It works for regular nail polish and gel. I may get another one soon since having only one nail dryer can be a bit of a pain. But it's a good buy for sure!

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.

Its like regular gel...just cured under an led lamp for 30 seconds...the best gel ever made!!!!! You can use it over your natural nail or use it on extended nail tips....best use with the gel builder and you need to use pro bond as your primer

I'm a nail tech and yes you can. I use the OPI LED light and it works great! It actually works faster because it's stronger lighting than UV. I do 30 seconds after each layer and 60 seconds for the top coat. Hope this helped

I would recommend to use the magic glove only for painting. Both type of lights are not good for your hands or your nails. Your nails get weaker and will be hard to get them back to normal and your hands in time will dry out even more. I am talking because my nails now are very weak and break easily. I only use magic glove for oil painting. It is a good product but you still need to wear protective disposable gloves.

It takes 30 seconds per coat to cure. Uv lights take 2 minutes per coat. I love this light and I do my nails about once a week so it was a good investment for me. I know they have a smaller LED light kit at Walmart for about $40 that a friend of mine purchased.

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.

Absolutely dear! you can use regular nail, although you should let it Completely dry before applying the gel curing it.

You can buy a starter kit that comes with the lamp and everything you need to do your nails. Once you buy a lamp, you can use any gel brand.

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.

I do have the light like they use in the mail shops. You can get them for $50-100. Mine has paid for itself in the first 6 months being able to do my own nails at home. I use the gel and shellac polishes and LOVE them!
