Hi,
I am currently studying nail tech in college. We have just started to do gel extensions.
I did my 3 of my nails at college all fine but when I got home to do the rest of my nails, it is not curing at all- I cleansed them to remove the ‘sticky’ layer and half of them came off! I got so impatient I had to take them all off!
I did exactly the same as in college except I used a different lamp- in college they have the nsi uv lamp but at home I have an led/uv lamp from u-spicy.
I’ve been researching all week and from what I have gathered you need to have the same lamp from the system you are using- but this isn’t what everyone has been saying ie the websites say cures under led lamp for 1 minute or 2 minutes uv (that would be the uv/led version but we have the uv only version)
As we are using the uv only version I assumed my lamp would work with it as it’s uv/led.
My question is, do I need to buy the nsi uv lamp or will any brand do or should mine be fine?
Would appreciate the help!
Thanks!
