What a nice reply! We will bear with you lol!! :hug: For some reason this question has actually come up a gazillion times but you are quite right, some of the Shellac threads are so many pages it would take hours to read through them all.
You really MUST use the CND UV Lamp to cure Brisa gels. There are two UV lamps currently available from CND that will do the job for you.
1. The original CND UV Lamp that was developed for CND Brisa gels but will certainly cure Shellac (which are currently in stock as I write) or ...
2. The white CND UV Lamp (new model thaqt has a few more features on it and does a 5 finger cure), which is currently out of stock due to demand. S2 are trying to get more in as fast as they can but it is impossible to give an exact date.
If you are desperate to get started, then order the original lamp asap as there are not many left. It is a great lamp and many who already have this lamp are using them all the time for Shellac. HTH.
