Are you wiping them off with an alcohol wipe after drying? This removes all the sticky residue. Many people forget this last step and mistakingly think they're nails remain wet. Do this at the very end after applying all your coats and their UV drying. Best!

I don't know how you're doing it, but if your gel isn't curing then however you're doing it must be wrong.

I only use the fan with regular polish to help speed dry time. I wouldn't use with gel polish as it can cause the polish to not dry smoothly.

The time on the directions doesn't work for me either. Does part the crown image wash away when you scrub the gel off under water? If so, then you need more time under the lamp for the first side. I would do 20 seconds instead of 6 and then probably 85 on the back side. Let me know if that works for you. I had to practice a lot to get the right formula and write down everything so you can remember what works.

No. This type of polish only dries with the activation of the UV light that comes from the drying machine. You can find really cheap ones on Amazon - the difference will be is you have to dry a few extra times (2-3 times suggested from my experience) to ensure the polish is fully dry. Hope this helps.

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.

You need to use the uv lamp for the gel nail polish because that is what cures it. It will just be a sticky mess that will wipe off without the lamp. The kit does come with the acrylic powder.

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.

No, it is not for regular nail polish. There are no fans to dry, only UV lights to cure gel nails.

It works with all gel polishes eventually. Some polishes require more time curing. This is not a powerful lamp, but it will get the job done.

Yes as long it says gel polish use LED LAMP. It will say use with lamp. You can use regular polish and put the top clear coat on, but it won't stay on as long. A trick I have found to taking off the Polish is when you are ready to take off the polish, apply a couple of coats of clear top coat and cure under the lamp and use cotton balls with alcohol on them to dry them. You will be able to peel the polish off without peeling any of your nail. It comes off in one piece. Nails are not thin and easy to get off. Enjoy your lamp and try different polishes that use a lamp.

I have a cheap/non-pro SensatioNail LED lamp and it works just fine with all brands of gelcolor polishes (orly, sensationail, etc.) - no need to adjust the curing time either (at least from my experience).

No, It is made for gel polish, I think it could dry it, but the lasting value would not be the same.

See that's another reason why i didn't like the product. Cure instructions wasn't clear.you will need a cure/uv light to dry yr nails because it's GEL polish.BUT it's not going to work i cured my nails for a total of 20 mins.all together it never dried and i have the best cure light on the market.just don't get this product. It dosn't cure properly it will never dry completely. Try another brand like BLUESKY or OPI.those brands are good i've used them both they work as a matter of fact when SALLY HANSEN.didn't work i got back on AMAZON and purchased BLUESKY.and it worked beautifully. I threw SALLY HANSEN.in the garbage. Waste of money

Mary beth, file the polish until it is foggy... Then take squares of foil to secure remover soaked cotten balls to the nails... I like to leave it soaking for 20 min... Then you can use a scraper tool to get the polish off... But with the 20 min soak it pretty much falls off!

Some gel polish will give the instuctons and times. The light does not give times.

I found there are tons of YouTube videos that show you step by step how to take it apart and clean it. Mine wasn't working at all - the toggle had no resistance and wouldn't permit the airflow to pass through the brush. My husband watched the video and took it apart and put it back together again. Tedious but definitely something anyone can repair. Not sure if your problem is from dried makeup or perhaps a Non-Dinair product, but I'm sure it can be corrected. Good luck!
