Have you had a chance to use gels with light? and if for which ones did you use?

I have not used any gels, but I do love using the light to mix with natural light.

I have used full and 1/2 CTO gels with this light. The light comes with gel holder clips but no gels. I actually just wrapped the gels around the light and held them with a rubber band - cuts the power a bit but not an issue.

This is a mini accelerator white light, which speeds up the whitening process.Our whitening gels do not require the use of light and they will whiten perfectly even without the light. The use of the light is optional and it is added to your kits as a BONUS.

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 never used a gel. The pads are very sticky and I am happy with them sans the gel.

At times I just turn on the continuous light feature and hand hold it to shape the light. I often use the way as a back light for flowers and use a regular flash for front lighting.

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

Let's see. If you are using flash and slow shutter you are going to have WB from flash and WB from ambient light. with this gel you can correct (a little bit) WB because you are going to have mixed light. Of course, you CAN'T expect mirracles! :) On the other hand, if you are going go take some 'artistic' pics. with flash, this is OK. The aim is to shoot a photo which you don't need to correct and 'simulate' effect in PS. I hope this will help. Again, don't expect mirracles.

I had to improvise... I bought a sheet of Neutral Density Gel from a supplier in town (Las Vegasn) for $5. Then just used Clothes Pins to fasten it to the frame. It really helps make a better experience for the talent and the lighting looks great too!

Yes, you need the LED light in order to develop the gelish polish :) try the MelodySusie LED Light Lamp Gel Nail Dryer for Curing LED Gel & Gelish Nail Polish.I bought it and Im SOOOO HAPPY WITH IT!!! Try it!

I don't believe so. Your mouth is closed on the mouth tray, so light only penetrates the front where you put the gel.

Sorry can't help u, mine never worked. When I tried to return it the company refunded my money and told me to keep it as a souvenir. I don't believe u need to use any gel as mine didn't come with any and should feel similar to a cat licking u.

So far this is how I have done it with three self-manicures: base coat 2 mins, color layers 1 min each and 2 mins top coat. I did use the Gelish structure in a layer after the base coat and before the color in my last manicure and followed the Gelish recommendations of 2 minutes for that coat. So far, all are great and seem to set very firm as opposed to using the LED lamps I had before. I would add 30 seconds for each color layer using a darker color, advice I received from other gel at home users.

Yes, gelish actually had a led light they sell, but the first light I had was uv and it worked just fine :-) you do need alcohol to put on top of it after your done with the color and light. It helps set it and have it dry instantly

The light works great on all types of gel polish. In my salon, we use Gelish, OPI, Jessica, Cacee, and Shellac. All of them cure fine after one time under the light for 60 seconds.

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.
