UV lamps - are they all the same?

[lizbird]

Hi Geeks,
I am an avid Acrylic chick and would love to do Gels - for the summer season here in oz - everyone loves gel toes.
BUT - I have a lamp...bought from a friend. How do I know if its a good one.
Reason being - I've practised on my hand and after curing my gel - it kind of separates?? A bit like oil/vinegar. It just looks strange.
Is this because the lamp is C***? I am using NSI and following all the instructions etc.
If the lamp is c***. Is it just the bulbs or the reflectors - OR WHAT. Can one of you Gel Geeks let me know! and why use the lamp from the gel manufacturer? Surley a bulb is a bulb??
