    Thank you, Liz! My eyes usually glaze over with the quasi-science spouted off on many health and beauty videos, but when you started talking LED vs. CFL and wavelengths in nm necessary for curing different gels, you had my attention. I am so pleased to finally find someone in the beauty industry who correctly explains the science in terms anyone can understand. As an engineer, this warms my heart. Specifically, you answered my question as to why so many manufacturers were claiming UV/LED when all I saw in their lamps were LEDs. You also cleared up my confusion on different types of gels and why some lamps work better than others with them. So again, THANK YOU! Keep up the good work, and keep nerding it up for people like me!

    Hello Liz. I just got my first gel manucure at a salon and I am 58 years old. I was not impressed. Although shiny...it was so bumpy it's not funny and had to have clear over top. I went to a different salon after 5 days because I was so unhappy and they took those off because they were all lifting and did it again and they were lovely and smooth. I want to do this myself now and found you. I have watched several of your videos and wanted to say thankyou for sharing such great value. I am ordering my lamp and some gel today so I can start doing overlays. So excited that people like you are here to help us on this journey. Loving your videos. Thank you so much.

As long as you do the 1min or so cure. I at times cure longer. Good luck.

    I’m almost in tears, I’m so grateful for your videos. I live in a province with no regulations on certification for nail techs, but it’s the license that soft-blocks me from buying quality gel products. There are schools and programs where I live, but I’ve heard poor things about the information they give, and it’s not feasible for me to attend anyway. But I’m smart, I know how to do research, and I’m dedicated to making sure I can give myself and others beautiful nails while also being sanitary and safe about it.
    I’m so grateful for these videos because advice and information from professionals who’ve been there is priceless, and not something I would otherwise have access to outside of a certification setting.

    Wow! I'm a male in early 60s and found your technical explanation about UV and LED very well put. I'm not into doing nails, BTW, but just stumbled onto this video while researching LED UV lights. I'm also an electrical engineer, so I understand about wavelength and such. I'm not sure if you mentioned it, but the wavelength differences are grouped into UVA, UVB and UVC, where my understanding is that there is no LED with UVC in existence, thus requiring the specific formula gel for LED lamps. I may not be into nails, but I have a young daughter who is starting to experiment with nails. I might see one of these lamps around the house in the near future.😄

    I totally love these videos and I am learning new tips and tricks from each one. I am not a professional but I have being doing my own gel nails for 4 1/2 years and I have a cheap drug store lamp. Can you suggest a good quality lamp that a non professional can buy?

    Super helpful and informative thank you! Do you have a particular way of figuring out/remembering the cure time of different brands?

    Great video! I thought the heat/burning sensaueas only due to a tech over drilling/filing the natural nail
