For a beginner when it comes to applying gel polish at home, this is an awesome little UV light! The quality is high and it is very easy to use. I like that it turns on automatically when I put my hands in it. I prefer to press one of the timer buttons that has the highest temperature. I finally got up the courage to try my own gel polish and this lamp worked GREAT! I wasn't sure how long each coat needed to be applied and it was likely that each round was taking longer than it should. I started with a base coat (cured at high temperature 60 seconds + another 30 seconds), two layers of nail polish (each layer dried for 60 seconds), an elaborate "shiny dot" on each nail bed (because it was thick I cured for 90 seconds). ) and top coat with a non-wipe top coat (cures within 60-90 seconds). It set very easily and I could put my whole hand in it without hitting it... Which I do in the salon all the time! It has a nice wide opening and it's easy to slip your hand in (without even looking). I feel like it's bigger than others I've seen, even compared to the ones used at the salon where I get my nails done. Because it's a bit big, it's not so easy to store in a small space or a bathroom. One thing I noticed is that each layer was a bit sticky/tacky before applying the top coat. I think it's just some kind of gel polish and I probably didn't have to dry each layer that long. Next time I'll dry each coat for just 30 seconds on high heat and the top coat for 60-90 seconds. Once you've applied the top coat, the whole look will be tougher! This lamp even comes with several files, dividers, wooden sticks and cuticle pushers! He also has several long white fingerless gloves (a polyester fabric resembling satin) that can be used to protect his hands from UV rays; I ended up not using them, just covering my hands with sleeves. The battery stayed almost 100% charged after using it for as long as I have! Attached are photos of my first try with gel nails! It's so fun to be able to do this at home during this pandemic. I used polish and a base/top coat from the Beatles range (a 24 color pack on Amazon cost me less than $25!). You are great with this lamp! I can only recommend this product and think the price is fair for the quality! π π» Happy self-care! πThank you for reading! I hope that was helpful!
