According to the box the product arrived in you can use either a LED or UV light..."Curing times and results vary due to LED or UV lighting systems: LED / UV Cure Time: 30 Sec. - 1 MIN. / 2-4 MIN. Per Cure". I also use a LED light, LED base & top coat with no real issues.

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!

I was taught to use LED for OPI and UV for brands like CND. I was taught by a friend who used to have her nails done by a manicurist and now she does them herself. My opinion here is only what I was taught personally.

To my knowledge you have to use a base and top coat as they are part of a "system" for curing the gel polish. I use Gelish base and top coats with many different brands of gel polish colors and it works great.

Yeah, all the nail polishes I have have instructions for both UV and LED usually it just says to put your nails under the lamp for 30-60 seconds instead of 2 minutes. The lamp beeps after 30 seconds and turns off after 60. I have some china glaze, OPI, Orly, Sally Hansen and Sensationail gel-nail polishes and they all work with this lamp.

No. Use a small fan to dry regular polish. OR you can apply a coat of gel base and dry with the UV lamp. THEN apply a coat (or 2) of regular polish. Once the regular Polish is COMPLETELY dry (again - AIR dry regular polish), you can apply a gel top coat and dry with the UV lamp. I personally haven't tried this method, but I've read that this can be done when someone wants to use regular polish to extend the life of their mani. But make sure the coat of regular polish is completely dry!I hope this was helpful. :)

China Glaze Gelaze is UV/LED gel polish. I have read that it does but I dont know for sure.I usually research before I buy something and I have seen that the MelodySusie has worked for them using Gelish.I work at Sallys Also and Many women have told me, they use LED lamps for Gelish and It dries Faster than UV.Worth a try!

from what I read it has to be the gel nailpolish with the led lamp but I am sure you can use regular nailpolish after top coat after it dries.

No it is only for UV or LED polish,it will not have any effect on regular polish.

Hello. Yes, with the Polish I have I have to wipe off the sticky stuff. But I'm not sure if that is due to the lamp or the polish. I have used both uv and led lamps and have the same outcome. I really like this lamp though. Since I got one I have been doing my own nails at home often!

With any shellac polish I only use a UV light. Don't know enough of the difference between LED & UV. I would seek a Google answer.

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!

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.

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

Yes, a UV light is the only way to set gel nail polish. I used a kit purchased from Sephora. But, you can get them from many different stores.

It's salon- quality gel polish. You have to use a gel base and top coat and a uv light

I'm pretty sure it does! Opi nail polish works with the sensationail Lamp An LED light is an LED light no matter who makes it.. I'd research the strength of the lights because that would determine how long you'd have to cure it
