Thankyou the lamp I have is from salon supplies it is a genuine lamp not a cheap one and all the products I use are gelish harmony also from salon supplies I am a hairdresser but did take courses in nail tech but I just wondered if maybe I'm curing for the wrong amount of time .I only use this to do my own nails when our salon nail tech is too busy which at this time of year is quite frequent .

I’m not sure that was the point that @Trinity was trying to make, but if your nail tech is too busy, then you’d really do better to invest in a Gelish lamp so that you get the correct cure times without having to guess them.

Hope that helps.

The instructions for application of Gelsih are very clear that it must be cured in the Gelish lamp - https://gelish.com/pdf/8741-GelishApplication-Removal-SBS.pdf

I was asked to try a 9v led lamp once for a review. After about 5 minutes I had managed to cure a base coat on one hand minus the thumb, I gave up at that point![emoji1]
