Was a nail kit essential but now a thing of the past
The UV light era is coming to an end BUT! If as a light this one was fit for purpose. It had a shelf for manicure and a lower shelf for pedicures. It was very unforgiving if shellac color coat was applied too thickly, the wrinkling would appear. Light is very heavy and bulbs need replacing every 6 months to ensure the correct curing wattage. Is fan assisted which creates more options of things that can break.
In love.
I finally gave in and purchased this light.
I had a cheaper one and knew I needed a good one for Shellac.
So far,, I am absolutely obsessed. It's amazing. Quick and efficient!
My best friend recommended this to me- she has the same one and has gotten at least 5 years of use out of it with no problems at all and no need for replacing bulbs yet.
If your looking for a excellent UV light this is the light you need to purchase. I love doing my nails especially with Gelish Nail polish and I have never had issues with this lamp. I bought it probably 5 years ago and I use it every 3 months too redo my nails and the bulbs are still going strong. It has 4 programmable timers on here so you can select any time you need too do your nails and it will automatically shut off when its finished curing your nails. It also has an interior fan inside as well. It comes with 4 - 9 watt bulbs and the strength of the bulbs work very well and cures your fingers evenly in a short amount of time. It comes with a super long cord as well approximately 7 feet long. When I do my nails at the kitchen table I have no problems finding an outlet too plug my lamp in. CND also has excellent customer service. I had issues with my lamp when I bought it and they sent me a replacement within a week no questions asked. And ALL CND lamps come with a 1 year warranty, so if something happens you can exchange it for free. The lamp also fits my foot perfectly when Im doing gel on my toes and the opening is fairly large so you don't need to worry about pumping your fingers and having to re-do them again. I also really like how light this machine is. I can travel with it and bring it anywhere with zero issues. This lamp works well for any type of gel applications and acrylic.
I bought this unit for $150 online on the CND website and when the time comes I need to replace it I will purchase this one again.
