Hi geeks!
I currently have this lamp:
And am thinking of making the switch to this one:
My current lamp is a bit frustrating to work with - shadowy at times and I also seem to get a lot of glare on the nail especially with Shellac as it's so shiny! But it's not terrible and has lasted me this far, it's only because I've heard some great things about the slimline one that I've been thinking of switching.
However, without being able to 'road test' the slimline lamp, I'm a bit worried I'll just be spending more money and won't see enough of a difference to justify it. Plus having read some old threads it seems the slimline one is a little more fragile with lots of reports of too much movement causing wire ruptures and faults etc.
So can anyone offer any insight at all please? If you've had experience with both lamps, is the slimline one loads better for shadows and glare on the nail? Have you had much trouble with lamps becoming faulty?
Thank you!!! And sorry for the long post, I'm incapable of being brief! xx
