The diamant states it cures both uv and led polishes . Am I understanding this correctly ? Do the instructions state drying times for both ?

I don't remember what the instructions said about drying time I used the max time setting and it worked but I returned the light because I received a white one but ordered a black one.

I can tell you it works great. I didnt bother to read the directions. I just use the 60 sec 1x and the 90 sec 2x. Hope this helps!

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

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!

The nail polish has to contain the photo receptors for LED lights. I use Gelish polish and it contains both UV and LED photo receptors. Not all gel polishes contain both receptors, so you'll have to check with the manufacturer.

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! Check eBay, Sally's Beauty Supply, or your local Beauty Supply Store.

It is my understanding that it will cure any gel polish. My manicurist used CND polish with this light and, I've used it successfully with polish I bought at Wal-Mart.

I used the polish on a large brass tray that was bought in Spain. I cleaned and coated it probably close to a year ago. It looks beautiful and I have seen any change in it. I do not know about antioxidation and UV protection. Have you contacted the manufacturer? Sorry I cannot be of more help. Peggy

I had the same problem! I had a UV lamp and even ended up buying a new LED lamp because of it! I eventually did some research and I found this out: cure your nails like usual, but at the end after the top coat has been cured, WIPE IT OFF WITH ALCOHOL to remove that sticky layer! Some suggested 99%, but I just used rubbing alcohol and my nails look EXACTLY how they should, nice and shiny and hard!Now I realize I didn't have to return the UV dryer, but oh well lol. Seriously, OPI needs to include some instructions, because that stickiness is terrible.

I have found that it works with any light-cured gel polish. UV or LED. The diff is that curing time is much shorter with the LED from this light.

I have been using GEL UV curing polish since October 2011. And yes, at home with an UV light I ordered off of Amazon. Just search for "36W UV curing light" and it will pop up. I paid approximately $40.00 and it has never failed since 2011.

From what I understand all gel polish can cure with UV light, however not all gel polish cures with LED lights. Check your polish to make sure it works with LED lights. For example CND shellac only works with UV lamp and OPI gelcolor works with both UV and LED.

UV light is for nail drying. LED light is for the timer. I thought you misread the description. You need to do two times to get nail dried. I got headache from the UV light, therefore, I am not using it very much. It is quite big and heavy. It has excessive room for one hand but is tight for both hands in.

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).

My niece is a manicurist and works mostly with the cnd brand but told me uv/ led brands are interchangeable. I used cnd base and top coat with gelish Polish a week ago and my nails still look perfect!

If the gel polish says LED Cured, then this lamp will work. If it says UV only, then it won't work.

Hello, yes Gelish can be cured under a LED light. With the 18G LED light each layer cures in maximum 30seconds whereas the UV light would take up to 2minutes. I am very happy using the LED...

No, this is not a dryer. This only works with polishes that are formulated to cure with U.V. or L.E.D. light.
