I am training as a nail techncian, working on a home learn course.
I have recently purchased a UV gel lamp and starter kit from '3Week Nails' and am happy with the results, but the brand isn't well known to me and quite expensive at £16 a pot, not ridiculous but still quite pricey.
I am fully aware that the gel and lamp need to be of the same brand to cure properly, but I was wondering if you swapped the bulbs for a different brand and used a gel that corresponds, would it work, is it just the bulb that makes the difference or the container?
Any advice would help, like I say I'm aware you should always use the same brand but if I did chose to swap would I need tp buy a whole new lamp bulb and container or could I just use a different brand's bulb and gel?
