NSI UV lamps

[emmabeauty]

can you use the 9watt uv lamp to cure nsi gels? or do i need the 36watt? because ive heard that the 9watt is just for like the glaze and go's etc
Thanks

The wattage of the lamp doesn't tell you how much UV Output the bulbs/lamp gives out, the following article should help.

If in doubt give NSI a call to be sure that you're the right lamp

if your using coloured gels etc.. then you need the 36w but otherwise the 9w should be fine.i would give them a call though if your still unsure.x

I was wondering this too.

ive just rang nsi up and they said the smaller lamp will be fine and that you just have to cure the fingers and thumbs seperatly so they all fit in

Tracy Louise is absolutely right. Also, the 9W lamp may not cure some of the white gels completely (for P&W). I always recommend people make the investment in the 36W lamp. It will cure all NSI gels with no issues - pending you change your bulbs appropriately.

May I ask why NSI sell the smaller lamp if you don't recommend using it and if it won't completely cure some of white gels?

Hi,

The lamps does cure most of the gels that we sell, its just the thicker white gels that may not cure totally. The lamp is very popular with technicians that are mobile and technicians that want to offer just the Glaze N' Go or Perma Gloss so have no need for the full hand lamp.

if your using the balance colour gels then you will need the 36w lamp anyway as the 9w will not cure the colour gels properly.i personally think you would be better off going for the 36w even if you werent using the coloured gels as the curing times are usually faster and if you bought the 9w then decided you wanted to use colour gels in the future then you would need to then buy the 36w aswell anyway.x

i spoke to nsi they said that any 9w lamp will cure their coloured gels, she said you only need a 36w for the builder gels

well i spoke to nsi again today and now im told that you need the 36 watt lamp to cure the coloured gels so ive got one of them now.

i thought you would need the 36w as for gels that are either thick or opaque such as white or coloured gels a 9w lamp wouldnt be enough to cure them properly.
atleast with getting the 36w lamp you know you wont need any other lamp.

I've got 3 lamps, an IBD 9 watt, NSI 9 watt and new Creative 36 watt.

The NSI used to be fine when doing hollywood toes but I went on to buy the Creative one as I offer Shellac. I'd stick with the 36 watt, you're then covered for any eventuality.
