So I called Nail Labo (I think it's mainly a Japanese professional nail shop) today because I wanted to order some stuff, and the man asked me if I'm familiar with their new gel system that'll be coming out in April called Presto. He told me that instead of using a UV light to cure it, you'll cure it with a LED light instead. I got curious so I looked up the website. It says that the gel only takes 5 seconds to cure, and removal takes 10 minutes.

I don't know about you guys, but I looooooooooove new systems! I'm quite excited!

The site's in Japanese, but if you click "Product", and then the button all the way to the top right, you can see its application and removal process.
LED GEL Presto

It looks pretty interesting...and if it is LED light then there wouldn't be heat spikes and a it would be a great system for clients that are sensitive. And it is a soak off system and it appears that there is no primer either...it looks like it would be great.

Is it available for purchase in the US and Canada? Did he tell you anything about pricing?

Now you have my interest...keep me posted!

hmmm, always interesting to hear about new technologies.

not sure that led would rule out heatspike though, its the gel curing on the nail not the lamp itself that causes it. and its pretty easy to prevent or minimise it anyway.

i have no idea whether there is any kind of initiator that is sensitive to led light. or whether there are any benefits to be had by curing with led.

i do wish i could read japanese so that i could more fully understand the instructions and product information.

sounds a bit nonsense to me, as if cured by any led it'll cure under a normal light, and just cure under your work lamp. I think it's just uv-light ledbulps, as led is not a special form of light but energysaving bulps as far as I know. So interesting to follow this thread and se if I'm wrong

Hi all! YAYA my 1st post! (BLUSH) Loved the idea behind this so i looked it up and I found a site in Cal. that sels it! Nail Labo, Inc but it does not give any info other then how to use it

OPI had a gel system nearly 20 years ago that cured with a halogen light ....

The heat spike was so bad the lights only allowed you to cure one fingernail at a time (no one could have stood the pain from all 5 at once) so to work efficiently you had to have 2 lamps; they looked like little Dalecks from Dr Who .

The gel discoloured terribly and were a yellowy green colour within 6 weeks.

The gel was rubbery and had to be polished.

It certainly is not new technology to be able to cure a gel with a normal light.

This system looks more like a way to apply permanent polish rather than a way to enhance. But the step by step looks nice and the idea of doing the job with such a quick cure time should be appealing. It doesn't look like an enhancement system.

I wonder if it is professional only or if it will be sold to the general public??

It looks a lot like Bio to me. Beautiful for NNO, but not practical for enhancements (IMHO)
