There are quite a few good ones, sarahlizzy. was your nail extension training brand specific or generic? x
Aw cool ThankyouOh ok. I was only wondering as its a common misconception that a gel-polish course covers you to apply extensions and it doesn't.
I use CND brisa gel and would recommend that completely.
Any particular lamp, the cnd led lamp seems quite pricey!Aw cool Thankyou
Ok thanks for all your help!I use the CND uv lamp, I don't use led at the moment. But it's usually recommended that you use a lamp recommended for your chosen system
Hi I bought the new cnd led lamp but it doesn't seem to be curing the gelicure :/ But I was told you can pretty much any lamp for gelicure. Any tips? ThanksNubar gelicure is excellent over tips I've been using it for 4 years now and never a problem.

Thanks, I'll just stick with the cndThe person who told you you can use pretty much any lamp for Gelicure was probably a Gelicure or Wholesalers Sales assistant who either didn't know what they were talking about, or did, but just wanted the sale anyway.
Every gel product will require its own unique intensity and wavelength of UV light to be properly and fully cured. The only way to achieve this is to use the lamp recommended by the manufacturer (not the sales assistants).
I'm not familiar with Gelicure but it is also possible that it a white label product meaning that it is produced by a lab and sold to many different companies who put their own labels and packaging on it to create their own brand of gel polish but it is the same formulation. If this is the case you can see why they would say pretty much any lamp will cure it , as pretty much all of the cheaper gel polishes are made by the same lab just packaged differently.
CND is unique in that it is the only nail company to have its on research and development labs, and produces unique formulations that no other brand can use. Therefore it makes sense that a CND lamp will not cure Gelicure as CND products and Gelicure will both need different amounts and wavelengths of UV light to be cured.
If you want to ensure a proper cure, and not invalidate your insurance and put you clients health at risk, you must use the lamp recommended by your manufacturer.
Thanks, I'll just stick with the cnd
Yea I've got cnd brisa and I'll get the shellac tooIf you are using use CND products that great, if you plan to use other brands of gel with the CND Lamp you should be aware that this will lead to service breakdown and an increased risk to an allergic reaction to the gel , which will invalidate your insurance should action be taken against you.
