Are you referring to CND Shellac and using the CND LED lamp?

Yes, but is CND the brand you are using? Are you using a CND led lamp?

Thanks abi crunch. So it saves 3 minutes on a regular service. Do you use it? Do you find LED as good with regards longevity and finish?

Sorry I don't use Led. I've heard so many bad reports so I'm sticking to my uv one for now xx

Longevity is brilliant, finish is even better than the UV lamp especially combined with the Xpress 5 top coat. All my clients comment on the speed even though I always worked with 2 UV lamps. I love my CND LED lamp!

Sorry is it 10 seconds and 60 seconds or every layer 30 seconds. There are two different replies

It is 10 seconds for basecoat, 60 seconds for colour coat and topcoat. The CND lamps have preprogrammed buttons for those times so there is no dispute. For full disclosure, the 10 seconds basecoat setting flashes 5 times, and the topcoat setting also flashes for the first 10 seconds to help prevent exothermic reaction. A lamp that does anything different is not a genuine CND lamp.

The previous post saying 30 seconds is incorrect.
