I was wondering does it dry "regular" nail polish?

It takes a few cycles, but it does dry regular polish. I have been using the Thermal Spa every week for nearly a year now, and I am very happy with it.

It was a Christmas gift for my daughter. Just bought it December 2012. My daughter told me it wasn't working. She brought it home 2 weeks ago. It's too late for me to return it. A lot of money for something that doesn't work. It turns on but barley at all and the light doesn't work. Don't waste your money.

We use OPI in our spa and the dryer does a great job. Each cycle is 6 minutes. Today I went through 2 cycles just to make sure because I went right back to work and there's not a smudge.

Yes this just dries regular nail polish. I have this in my salon and I love it!!

Yes it does! I use the brand called Piggy Polish and a few OPI brands and it works Great! I can usually do a full set nails in 3-4 hour and that is plus curing time. Base coat, 2 colored coats and 2 top coats and I wait about 20 minutes in between before going to next coat for curing time. I do sometime dry the nail twice if I'm in a hurry, just make sure you don't dent them in the prossess. I do my finger nails and toe nail all I 1 day when it use to take me 2-3 days. Well worth the money. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

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.

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

It doesn't always work, and you need a lot of patience to get it right. With a regular manicure, your drying time at the salon is about 20 minutes, but it actually takes 24 hours for the solvents in regular polish to fully dry. If the solvents aren't fully dry, then putting on a gel topcoat is going to seal in wet polish. Or the topcoat could just slip right off.

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

No, you can either use a regular nail polish or you can get whats called the best glue ever or something like that, I see professional nail artists use that.

You just use nail polish remover. Nothing special. No you do not need a lamp to dry them. It is applied just like regular nail polish with the exception of there is no need for a base coat.

Nail Polish remover works when it is still wet. But, you have to put a lot of elbow grease into it. I'm not sure what cleans it up after it is dry. Good luck! It's a wonderful product!

It might if you let the regular polish dry for at least a half day before you put on the shellac topcoat & use the dryer. I tried it within 2 hours and it got smudgy and bubbly under the dryer.

Yes, it will help speed up the dry time with regular polish. Gel polish cures in a 1 minute round, regular polish takes 5 rounds.

It is removed with regular polish remover. You can use it over regular nail polish.

No, I have just let it dry normally to give a firm base coat. I DID NOT like it since it peeled my nails off layer after layer. I threw the product away. Maybe I should of used a light. IDK.

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.

Yes That is all I use for the moment is nail regular polish. I use acetone to clean up. Hope that helps.

I soak my mails in 100% acetone and the polish comes off without any effort. I apply two coats of polish and then the top coat. I do not have to use anything to dry my nails--they dry very quickly

Yes, if you are using regular nail polish with gel top coat, it still works great! Only recommendation is to let the regular nail polish dry COMPLETELY before adding the gel top coat. If you don't, the regular nail polish will begin to wrinkle.

To keep your hands cool. The lights can get warm(not HOT but warm). It is not intended to dry regular wet nail polish.
