[dizzy]

hi all,

Iam currently useing brisa which i love but want to have another gel system as well so have decided to use nsi for the colours and soak off gel.

been looking at the NSI lamps and like the look of their small portable lamp (as iam mostly mobile)but is it man enough to do the job of a full set of gels??

any comments welcome. xx

It won't cure your Brisa and you will hav to up your timings for your NSI gels.

Sorry, but I don't think the portable lamp will have enough energy to cure the Balance Color Gels. Those should be cured in a full hand lamp with 4-9 watt bulbs.

You should only use the lamp witch your system is made for, using a different lamp can lead to under curing- witch ca lead to overexposure, or over curing.

I'd only use the NSI lamp with NSI gels.

Hi Dizzy,

I have both my normal 36w lamp and the portable 9w lamp - both from NSI. I recently found the portable one after moving house and decided to take it to a couple of appointments. There is no way I could do a full set of gels on the little portable one. I thought it would be ok for Glaze and Go but to be honest it just held me back a little bit longer so I didn't even like it for that. This could be because I'm used the 36w now though and a bit impatient? It's much easier to carry around but I don't think you get the right finish with it.

hope that helps,
Ally xx
