Not sure I've never used shellac just gelish and bulbs haven't gone out yet.

Yes it's working just fine,your thumbs have to be facing up so it cures properly.

I don't use CND, but it works well with all my gel polishes, so I've no reason to doubt it's performance with CND. Replacement bulbs can easily be found all over Amazon and eBay. Search for 9W 365nm U-bulbs.

I bought a very cheap dryer and it works fine with this diffuser. Choose a dryer with the longer, narrower nozzle, though, not the kind with the wide barrel.

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 ...

I bought a Shany brand UV nail lamp on Amazon. I just double the curing time with the UV compared to the LED. SHANY UV Gel Light Nail Dryer, 36 Watts Pro Series

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!

Hello, The best results is when you use the same line of products, but you can use for all led polishes like shellac. Best regards NY Beauty Products

I really don't know. Everything I have read says you need to check the brand of polish to see what kind of light works with it and the curing times. Maybe they have a web site that would have that information. Sorry I am not more help.

Ridley, you ask a good question. This dryer worked for me because it was a budget-priced LED light for a beginner like me. Having said that, I think you (and me) could do much better, but as a novice, it could also be me! It doesn't seem to "dry" within the parameters of standard instructions for gel drying stages so I leave my nails in an extended period "to make sure" for every stage. I don't think I'd have to do that with a "better" dryer. Because it's my first time doing this whole process at home I don't have anything to compare my experience to besides salons; however, I am so glad I made this move I cannot tell you. Practice does make perfect and I love how my nails look every time! Even if it takes longer than it should because I don't "trust" the dryer. Thankfully, Gelish makes great products and the shine is incredible. I've already made my money back, and don't regret the purchase as a beginner, but I will probably buy another dryer within the next year.

Shellac will only cure under a UV lamp. LED lamps are different from UV lamps... I double checked to make sure that I was correct and found this answer on a nail blog:"Shellac was not formulated with the right photoinitiators to cure properly in an LED lamp. If you try it, expect all the problems you'd see with under curing or over curing". I bought the CND UV lamp right here on Amazon and I love it! It has different settings on it.

The trick to some of the CND Shellac polishes are to put on the coats extremely thin...the thinner coats should not bubble in the UV light.

Eventually it will. My suggestion because I've done the same is to dry them with a fan for 5 minutes then put them under this dryer as it will seal/coat the polish better for a more lasting result. I don't think just using this for regular polish is enough as it still smears but if u dry them a little with the fan it's perfect!

You can actually buy it on Amazon as well, just the uv bulbs. It's best to type up your model uv gel dryer and type in replacement bulbs to get the right one.

I'm not sure. All I know is the dryer works and I saved over $100. I bought three of them, although of the dryer goes out again, I will probably replace it since there must be something causing it to over heat. I'm hoping that cleaning the air duct tube fixed that.

Yes, while this UV lamp is designed to perfectly cure CND Shellac, it will also work on most types of uv cured gel and polish. You may refer to OPI's gel polish instruction guide for proper curing times.
