Sorry should of worded the question better.I don't understand the question. Are you trying to cure product with one of those desk lamps with a built in magnifying glass? If yes, then the answer is no. To cure a professional product you need the correct lamp as recommended by the manufacturer of the product.
So I was wondering if the Led lamps with magnifying glasses
Thanks, I will try and order one of those led/daylight desk lamps with a magnifying glass mounted in the middle of the lamp and see if it helps me in my work. I wasn’t thinking of using it to cure the gels as I already use a proper led/uv 36w for that. The only thing I had in mind was improving my vision when working with nails and I will keep in mind the negatives of using a magnifying glass that you mentioned above, thank youI'm still a bit confused but I'll try to answer...if you need a magnifying glass to see clearly then use one, plenty of beauticians use them for eyebrows/eyelashes/etc. Clients don't care what you use as long as you turn out decent, well structured, pretty nails. It's much easier to work on nails magnified but also soul destroying because you can see every TINY imperfection that the normal eye doesn't see so be prepared to become super critical of your work.
In a training course many years ago the trainer would take macro (magnified) photos of the students work and have a closer look at them, most were horrified at how badly they had prepped the nail, or how badly they had actually applied the products, etc. so a closer look is never a problem.
If you are asking if the LED lamp would cure your products, you would need to check the output against your brand - most desk lamps won't cure products but I have had ceiling spot lights cure my CND Brisa Gel in the pot when I was mobile many years ago

Oh that's a good idea! I wear glasses but had never thought of the idea of getting a special pair of glasses solely for precision work like that. I must look into getting a pair myself for doing nail art, would be very handyIf you’re still struggling to see close up go back to your opticians. I have a pair of specs prescribed solely for doing nails, they’re perfect but so strong I can’t even walk with them on without feeling giddy lol They stay on my nail desk and are never moved.
