This is my totally unbiased review....
The bulbs have gotten worn out in my expensive lamp (£194.99) - I know as my glaze n go is taking 3 mins to cure, they are going black around the base yet my lamp still has not 'beeped 10 times' to tell me. (humph)
As I am not happy with the contructive quality of this expensive lamp, which I really expected more from, I decided to go and take a look in person at the CND lamp.
The CND lamp is of superior quality to my existing twice-the-price one. They both have the same DESCRIBABLE features regarding fan, timer & seperate pedicure unit, and both use bulbs around the £40 mark for a new set but the difference in them when you actually SEE them is remarkable.
Main differences are CND -
1) The outer plastic coating is very sturdy and looks quality
2) There is a carry handle, made from sturdy plastic - very useful
3) Much more compact & portable design - fits into silver comp of beauty case. Previous lamp would not.
4) The bulbs holders have 'metal/wire' pins rather than cheap plastic pins. The plastic pins snapped when I changed a bulb around on my £194.99 lamp. - not impressed, but my fault.
5) Lamp is of a much better build quality, all the little bits and catches are absolutely solid. - Logo fell off in a month on previous lamp.
6) Cable is longer and seperates from unit for easy storage in mobile case - very handy, plug can be tucked away in towel.
7) Much better designed integrated pedicure unit than previous lamp - previous one very 'faffy' and feet sometimes did not cure properly.
I think CND should promote the quality and sturdiness of the lamp more, alongside the UV output. I dont even use Shellac, but I still want a quality lamp and this is a bargain at half the price of my previous one.
I could have had two of these for the same price as my D**l***t one! and got eight top quality bulbs in the process!:cry:
All in all, I am very impressed. 10/10
Who knows I may even try shellac now! :lol:
