you don't have to stick with the same brand for all your products (including a lamp). The reason one brand would want you to only buy a 'compatible' lamp etc. is to maximise their own profits. Simple as that.
Hi,
I would certainly recommend a LED lamp (not UV) - you will not need to change the bulbs at all, they should last you basically a lifetime. You might need to pay more for that reason but it's totally worth it.
And, contrary to popular belief, you don't have to stick with the same brand for all your products (including a lamp). The reason one brand would want you to only buy a 'compatible' lamp etc. is to maximise their own profits. Simple as that. Any problems with gel are usually due to the gel's own quality and the application technique. If you use quality materials and prepare the nails correctly then any lamp will be fine (well, obviously, not some cheap unknown cr*p off ebay). Search for LED lamps online and read the reviews, you'll find a lamp for your budget.
HiWhat website are you looking on? I can try and help
Also which gel brand are you using?
Are you a qualified professional? X
Yes totally agree. I had heard you have to use same brand but surely they all do the same thing! Anyway thanks for your advise.Hi,

Hi
Yes I’m a nail technician. I use bluesky mainly but use the gel bottle inc also! I have a bluesky lamp already but wasn’t sure if there was another lamp that people recommended? I had heard that you should use the same brand but I don’t understand why it’s a problem to use different ones?! Surely they all do the same thing! Anyway thanks for your advise.
Hi yes I have read it. An interesting read however someone has commented on the post about how she contacted a few companies and they advised her that any 48w lamp would be ok on the brand she contacted so if this was going to cause any concern or issue then surely they wouldn’t be able to sell these products?Have you read the pinned post about lamps and why they need to be matched? From your comments I suspect not, it would really be worth your time to read it.

Hi their..within reason, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the cheaper lamps. My one cost me $30 and it's been working great for 4yrs. Absolutely no need to spend hundreds. Otherwise your paying for the logo not the job it does. I do hope you found a nice lamp whichever one that wasHi

Thankyou for replying, nice to meet you. Your absolutely right in that no I didn't read the initial pinned post so no I don't know the full story I acknowledge that. I was simply commenting on the lamp bit.
Your background sounds very interesting indeed.
