I was curious to know if any brand gel polish made for UV or LED lamps will work on this? like a polish that comes in a kit like Fuse.

Any brand will work like gelish or ibd. As long as it's a gel polish that needs to be cured this light will do the trick. Make sure you use a base coat usually referred to as a foundation coat and a top coat usually referred to as top it off. Once the last layer is on, spray a napkin with alcohol and rub the excess off your nails for the finishing touch.

It should. I use gelish which also comes in a kit since it works perfectly. The cure time for each coat is about 2 minutes.

Hello. We have a UV lamp. Unfortunately the gel polish is too thick to spread, and is unusable. So the lamp won't make a difference. Very unhappy with our non-refundable purchase.

I tried once, but it didn't work as well as gel polish. I didn't wait and let it really dry though, I just did the 2 minutes under the lamp like you do for the gel polish. These base and top coats work really well with the sephora gel polishes.

There are two different types of light for gel/shellac nails: LED and UV. UV takes longer than LED. You need one or the other for OPI.

I think that regular polish just air dries, right? It's the gel polish that cures or hardens by use of the LED light. But I don't think that the light has the same impact on normal polish. I hope that makes sense. Maybe you can find something out by internet search on the subject; don't take my word for it.

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.

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.

Since I just started with Shellac nails I cannot say yes to led light I went with the recommended UV light. Sorry.

The directions for all gel polishes and UV lights say to only put under lights for 2 mine at a time! More time does not equal drier polish...just more smudgy mess!!

As long as you are using an led lamp to cure this you can use this with any brand. I have used it as a bottom layer before any nail polish be it gel or enamel, and I have used it as a top coat over any polish to protect and add a smooth long lasting shine

Yes, Sully. I haven't found a gel polish that it doesn't work with. And I have had mine for quite some time and all of the lights are still working. Good luck!

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

I haven't tried it, but I think it would as long as it is LED gel polish and not UV.

I haven't ever tried that before but I don't think so. There is not a fan or really much heat either. It is just the UV light. So I think it will only work with the gel polish. Good luck!

Yes, Other brands of UV/LED polish can be used w/this lamp. (So far I have only used Gelish, OPI, Gel II, Finger Paints & ASP) Essie is just simply the brand of this LED light. LED lights such as this are much faster than UV lamps. This lamp in particular will cure a color coat in 30 secs. Whereas a UV light will cure a color coat in 2 mins. This is a professional lamp at an affordable price with the automatic sensor to top it all off!

Hello, if the bulbs ever do go out in the lamp, you should be able to use any other LED Lamp to cure your polish. I would also think that you could also use a UV Lamp, but your curing time may be longer (2-3 minutes instead of the 30 to 40 seconds with LED.). I hope this helps you!
