Unfortunately the statement about LED lamps being healthier as they have "way way less UV rays" is not true at all. The amount of UV is similar. It has to be so that the gel cures. If a simple LED light was enough to cure the gel, why even buy the lamp and not use any LED in the house?
thank you so much for the video. for example for those who have dyshidrosis led is safer? the risk of allergy is lower? i do have and one of the causes is the uv lights... so i was just wondering if would be worth the risk to buy it?
Ok this was very helpful I’m just going to buy both! I have one now and I think it’s LED but it does cure my gel….well not all of my gel just some of it.
Regular nail polish will only dry with air so the only thing you can really do is use a fan that helps accelerate the process and nail polish drying sprays. A UV or LED lamp will only cure gel product
Hi dear I really liked your video... Can you please suggest me good led lamp from where can I buy and which one should be good to buy ... Thank you dear
Mz. Mercy such a good question I can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier so I can include it in the video! When you see UVLED lamp You can just consider it an LED lamp all light has some type of ultraviolet rays LED light just delivers it in a different way as I mentioned in the video. 😉 thanks for the question good one!
Mz. Mercy hi! So I know I already responded to this but I forgot that I realized some gel brands advertise as UVLED that just means that they are able to cure and either type of lamp! I was just going through some comments and overlooked yours and remembered that I wanted to add to my initial response 😉
I do not think I’ll be doing any reviews of dip powder anytime soon , it is an acrylic product. I do not use acrylic products in my shop at all. 😬I personally do not like dip 🫣
I get it through a distributor since they are for professional use only. I’m actually on the hunt for another LED lamp and I’ll be following everyone up on that and why I want to change from the trusty artistic lamp I’ve been using for five years 😉
I am just getting into gel nail polish. I bought a led/uv lamp. So it should cure any gel nail polish, correct? Just found your videos today! New subscriber! 😊
These days most gels cure with LED or UV. But definitely just make sure the GELS that you’re buying says cure in UV and LED. (Back in the day it was only UV but most of the companies have already updated that I rarely come across any product that does not cure in LED. ) And thank you so much for subscribing in your support I really do hope that the information I provide can help you whether you are a DIY-er or a professional. I’m still really new at this so I will be getting much more consistent and the quality of the video is getting much better! Thank you again 💚💚💚💅🏻
Oh My Gel Just the few videos I have watched, I have learned things! I am a DIY-er for sure! I found you through the Sally Hansen Cuticle Remover video. I just got it to see if it will help with nail polish staying longer on my nails! The only gel polish I have right now is the Express Gel Sensational brand. 🙈 I am baby stepping into gel.....
@@NemoCat20 practice makes perfect! And trust me when I say that the product is rarely ever the issue prepping your nail is the most important part you can use any cheap product and it’ll stay long if you prep your nails right. I go over each step in the Manicure process in the beginning of my videos about a year ago but I will be revisiting this very soon!
Can you tell me what wattage nail gel lamp should I select because my hand keep allergy and itchy after using nail lamp pls help me and guide me which lamp is suitable for skin problems
Hi! If your having an allergic reaction after a gel manicure it’s likely the gel product not the light. To my knowledge having an allergic reaction to an LED or UV light is extraordinarily rare and you would have similar reaction when exposed to sunlight or other artificial lights because they all have some amount of UV in it. And if that’s the case wattage would make little to no difference. Some lights might just cause a greater heat reaction when curing the gel polish but will rarely ever actually causes skin irritation that is almost always a result of the product and it is very possible to develop a gel allergy after years of using it.
@@TheNaturalNailGuru thank you so much for your reply... how Do you think if I choose rcm products for my sensitive skin? And its low watt about 9w only. Does it help?
In my personal experience 35watts are more will give you a good cure. I’ve come to that conclusion because when I have tried nail lamps that are 9 W or 12 W the polish does not cure especially very pigmented colors like red. But every nail lamp I’ve use that works well and cures manicures for a long time of use. They always have 35 or 45 W but to be honest, I am not a scientist, so I really don’t know if that is what’s making the difference just something that I have observed and has not failed me😉I hope that was helpful!
I have a 48 watt led lamp and I have some dnd polishes just bought how long should i cure each layer like foundation, polish, top coat? thank you so much
msmakeupdream usually LED will cure any gel polish basecoat at 10 seconds color coats and top coats at 30 seconds. I personally like to leave it a few seconds extra so I do about 15 seconds for the basecoat and 45 seconds for Color/topcoats . 48 wants is a really good wattage if you had something that was 9 W or significantly low like that I would definitely totally double it up and I’ll be going over wattage specifically with you guys and I’ll ED very soon 😉
msmakeupdream thank you!!! I’m still getting settled into new place and echo is a b*^%^ 😫 but I’m working on it and will be more vids coming sorry for the wait but so much more to be shared 🤯🤗💅🏻 thank you!!
Hi! I know I’ve fallen off the track a little bit running the shop in the process of growing the business is stressful plus I am 38 weeks pregnant so definitely been trying to take things a little bit easy but don’t worry I have so much more to share and so much to review I will be coming back full force. 🤘🏼
It really depends on what it is that you’re looking for. If you really want best quality is going to last you the longest and something you won’t have to fuss with then I would recommend Kiara sky LED lamp you can get it on Amazon for $200 but it’s normally 250 bucks I know it’s a lot but the lamp is awesome and it will last you years. If you don’t need anything that serious or just starting off then I would go with any LED lamp with at least 35 W. You have lots of options on Amazon and should be able to get one for as little as about 50 bucks. Beetles Is a brand that I’ve already reviewed their LED lamp it is a great lamp I will be doing more reviews on lower and LED lamps that are more thorough so definitely stay tuned for that!
the led lamps on amazon are so cheap.. is there a wattage recommendation on if i'm planning to do diy poly gel at home? are the cheap lamps on amazon okay to use? they're in the price range of like 15-30 bucks..
Cindy Yes! I’m actually going to be getting more in detail with each specific light because there are many different LED lamps and many different UV lamps and we need to know which ones we want! It will be coming 😉
Oh My Gel gotcha thanks! the one that I currently use I’ve had since hs. It has 7 watts, I’m going to assume that I should probably upgrade it right haha? (I’ve been having issues with chipping and such)
Depends on what you need and what you’re looking for. As a professional I recommend using an LED lamp to avoid issues with clients concerns using UV light as well as a big timesaver and five times longer lasting bulbs. And usually when it comes to cost you’re getting what you pay for cheaper price means cheaper quality in most cases.
Oh My Gel yes I got a cheap lamp off amazon but my gel is not lasting long!! Is that the reason why? I may purchase one like yours to see better results
why do lamps say LED UV lamp? why isn't sold as one or the other? that's the confusing bit..
I think they are trying to make money by confusing new buyers, it’s best to do research first:)
That intro music was LOUUUUDDDDD. Thanks for the breakdown.
Very information and straight to the point, just how I like it! Love it, thank you!

Thanks for getting straight to the point , and not ' blinding us with science' I just wondered which to buy and I loved ur quick info. Thanks ❤
Hi, do you have current recommendations for LED only lights? Very informative video, thank you
You’re comparing compact fluorescent and light emitting diodes they are both ultra violet lights. 🤦🏼♀️
straight to the point and informative thank you
thank you so much for the video. for example for those who have dyshidrosis led is safer? the risk of allergy is lower? i do have and one of the causes is the uv lights... so i was just wondering if would be worth the risk to buy it?
Great concise information! Thank you. Can you suggest an LED lamp please?
Are you able to use regular nail polish that's not gel on eaither one of them?
I enjoyed this Video, very informative but can you tell me what's the best LED lamp to get?
Will this cure acrylic nails and dip powder nails?
Great video. Straight and to the point!
Thank-you!
💜💕💜
🤘🏼🤗
Hi, thanks for the info. You mentioned that LED lamp last longer. Does the manicure also last longer with the LED?
Ok this was very helpful I’m just going to buy both! I have one now and I think it’s LED but it does cure my gel….well not all of my gel just some of it.
Thank you for this video. It was simple & easy to understand,
🙏🏼🤘🏼
Very informative and helpful, straight to the point!! 😊. Thanks for the explanation. My question is, what lamp do you use to cure regular nail polish?
Regular nail polish will only dry with air so the only thing you can really do is use a fan that helps accelerate the process and nail polish drying sprays. A UV or LED lamp will only cure gel product
What about uvled combo lamps
Hi dear I really liked your video...
Can you please suggest me good led lamp from where can I buy and which one should be good to buy ...
Thank you dear
So the LED lamp don’t cure Hard gel??
Best video very well explain 🙌🏻💜
Thank you for this helpful information!
Thank you for the information!😊
Thank you
Thank you this was really helpful❤
I always thought 💭 they were the same thing 😆 why do some brands advertise as uv/led 🤔

Thank you 🙏
I have a question since you said led doesn’t cure nail polish that says no uv/led light needed so how would you cure those? With a uv light?
No led/uv light needed means = AIR DRY
Those are normal nail polish that dry on their own
Will you do a comparison of L.E.D nails versus SNS dip powder nails?
I do not think I’ll be doing any reviews of dip powder anytime soon , it is an acrylic product. I do not use acrylic products in my shop at all. 😬I personally do not like dip 🫣
Thank you for the information
That was helpful
Thank you clear and needed information
Very informative, Thanks 😊

Which uv or led lamp do you recommend to purchase ?
It really depends on what it is that you’re looking for. If you really want best quality is going to last you the longest and something you won’t have to fuss with then I would recommend Kiara sky LED lamp you can get it on Amazon for $200 but it’s normally 250 bucks I know it’s a lot but the lamp is awesome and it will last you years.

the led lamps on amazon are so cheap.. is there a wattage recommendation on if i'm planning to do diy poly gel at home? are the cheap lamps on amazon okay to use? they're in the price range of like 15-30 bucks..
In my experience anything over 35 W has a good cure
Do watts matter?
Cindy Yes! I’m actually going to be getting more in detail with each specific light because there are many different LED lamps and many different UV lamps and we need to know which ones we want! It will be coming 😉
Oh My Gel gotcha thanks! the one that I currently use I’ve had since hs. It has 7 watts, I’m going to assume that I should probably upgrade it right haha? (I’ve been having issues with chipping and such)
Cindy yes!!! It’s good to get the job done and get a quick fix but definitely not some thing that would yield long lasting results
So it’s better to buy a high price lamp for better results?
Depends on what you need and what you’re looking for. As a professional I recommend using an LED lamp to avoid issues with clients concerns using UV light as well as a big timesaver and five times longer lasting bulbs. And usually when it comes to cost you’re getting what you pay for cheaper price means cheaper quality in most cases.
