Yes, I use Gelish, OPI and CND with this lamp and all the shellac polishes dry perfectly.

I think this light is for gel polish only. I would google it and see if ment for this application.

I have to say operator error. Not all gels cure at the time that's why you have read the amount of time to cure for the brand you are using. I have used store brand (Sallys & drug stores), I have used name brand (Gelish) with no problems on none of the brands. Im a licensed cosmetologist, but my license allows me to do more than just hair. Take my word this light is good for the price and use as designed

A quote from Gelish's website:"New from Hand & Nail Harmony comes Gelish Color Gels. The gels come in an array of colors, apply like polish, with twist cap and applicator, but are cured in a LED lamp in 30 seconds or in two minutes in traditional UV lamps, just like gels. Gelish stays on nails for three weeks with no chipping or peeling, and soak completely off in only 15 minutes."Having said that I have not had the pleasure to try curing with an LED light, but the webpage says that it works with both.

They will cure the same. Uv lights just take longer than an led light. . Gelish has a great mini led light for 25$ . Just b sure 2 buy the plug in adapter. . Doesn't work great with batteries ;)

The gelish foundation soaks off and this hard gel product does not. You can still use this product under your color, but you would have to file this off because it's harder. If you want to use something softer other than the foundation, you can try their Structure gel. Just make sure whatever product you buy works with the type of lamp you have, either a UV or LED .. Hope this helps! Good luck!

No, you need a UV lamp. I have even heard several people try the LED and it will not cure.

This lamp works good with OPI Pro gels. The pro lamp is probably faster and will last a lot longer but the cheaper one works good.

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

I've used 4 different brands and they all worked fine with this product. Just ensure it's gel polish for an LED lamp. Hope this helps.

As long as it is an UV lamp it should be fine. I've never used the OPI brand lamp before, but I know that as long as the bulb intensity (wattage) is similar, the gel polish will dry under it. The lamp I use with this is a UV light of 45 Watts, which I believe is slightly on the more powerful side (usually people use ~36W). I just double checked and these polish can be used with LED lights as well, and the cure time is a bit shorter than the UV lamp.

I've used this with both an LED lamp and bulb lamp and both work well. LED seems to cure a little faster.

No you have to use the LED light to cure gel products. If you have the light I know people who do use the gel top coat on regular polish I've never tried it though so I'm not sure if it works well.

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 have never used that brand of gel polish, but I have used Gelish, Sensationail, and some other brands. This LED lamp has successfully cured all of the brands that I used. Hope that helps you.

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

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.
