Aw... thanks Natalie, is "daylight" a brand of lamps? and are they suitable for using Shellac?

Are you asking about curing it or what light to see by and NOT cure it?

I've been dying to try a daylight. It is a brand. I don't think it emits uv. I just have a flexible desk lamp with a 40w bulb. Make sure the blinds are pulled & curtains closed!

No I don't think it is the brand daylight, it's just called a 'daylight' lamp. I will try and post a link or if you go to Argos and type in search daylight lamp it will come up! X

No, I have a UV Lamp to cure my brisa and shellac but I sit by the window and need to shut the blinds or have them tilted as Iv already cured two Shellac brushes and half a pot of Brisa.

Shellac and brisa don't cure from led light so I would assume they are fine. My main light in home salon is a strip light with a daylight bulb and I have the same daylight lamp that one of the other posters have posted above and I've touch wood had no problems yet. I do make sure my bottles aren't directly under the light though just incase lol x
