Hello,
My sister wants to make her own gel polish nails
and I'm looking to assemble the best cheapest kit I can (on ebay\ Aliexpress).

I want to buy a LED lamp, which I understood it's faster and better.
I found 2 lamps in 30euros
MelodySusie 12W - I read some really bad reviews on it.
Vogue 18W focus beam - couldn't find reviews.

I would really appreciate recommendations on:
1. What LED lamp to buy? doesn't need to be from those two but one that costs 35euros max.
2. What gel products to buy? (base, top, etc) - I saw a Gelish kit in 30euros.
3. What color gel to buy? Gelish colors costs about 12euros each, can it be from another brand?

Looking forward for your replies,
Thanks ahead.
 
Who did you both train with?
 
Save your cash and send her on a starter course instead
 
Thank you for your reply
but this is not my problem.
I would like to know what brand of LED lamp to purchase
and what gel brand to buy.
I understood that I can buy base, top, bond from Gelish
and color from IBD or EZFlow.

Thanks ahead.

If your sister isnt qualified then she shouldn't be using products made for professional use only.

As above, pay for a training course so she is competent.

You won't get the answers you are looking for on here I am afraid.

I don't understand why is that such an issue for you.
I'm not asking you to help me rob a bank.
all I'm asking is what LED lamp to purchase.
It's not illegal to use those products in my country
and also my mother has a professional training in this field (i don't know the terms) and she will teach my sister what to do.
it's not rocket science.
All I'm asking is for your recommendations on brands.

Thank you.

It's site rules. We can't give this kind of advice to non-professionals, hope you understand.
If your sister qualifies to apply Gel Nails and came here to ask then we can help. It's the rules of this website.
You can't buy genuine gel products without a qualification, it doesn't matter what country you are in. It's for safety reasons. Sorry.
 
Fine than I'm asking for my mother who is qualified but doesn't know english so I'm writing for her OK?
All I'm asking is what LED LAMP to buy.
LED is a light bulb which doesn't require any qualification.
can you answer me that?

If your mother is qualified then she should speak to whoever she uses for her product line. They should recommend what lamp is best used for the system used.

They are the best people to speak to!

Also, if your mother is qualified she should know that your sister shouldn't be using professional products without full training.

If its not "rocket science" as you put it im sure you can figure it out yourself!

I was nice a kind but you people should hear the truth.
If you don't want to assist then don't.
But don't tell me she should be qualified to use these stupid gel polish.
This rule exists for one reason only.
That you women are afraid that people will understand that what you are doing is to overcharge women for a job a monkey can do.
there's a reason why Gelish publish a tutorial on how to put nail polish - Thats because I can teach a 5 yo to do it.
So Yes it is not Rocket Science.
all you need to qualify is 2 hands and a pulse.

Thanks for nothing.
Good luck with your brainless job.

You are being very rude these ladies were just telling you what the rules are and you need a qualification as it includes hygiene and health and safety not being funny but it's not a brainless job most nail techs are highly skilled in this job and people like you buying a kit for someone not qualified is just asking for a disaster

It's such a brainless job that you need help picking out a lamp?
 
Go to a salon near you and ask one of the nail techs there for the answer.

What could be easier, I'm sure everyone there will have two hands and a pulse.

yes I'm being rude because I asked for an advice on a lamp not lectures on what to do or not do with my life.
if it's a disaster then it's my disaster.
I'm not putting anybody at risk but myself.
I'm not looking for a mother figure. I asked a simple question.
if they can help fine, if they can't then don't lecture me just.
yes they are highly skilled in this job.
also a street cleaner can be highly skilled in his job. It doesn't mean he needs his brain to clean.
all the safety codes can be taught.
again, not looking for an advice on how to run my life.

Thank you.

And yes, I asked for recommendations on a lamp because I read reviews that says there are some lousy lamps which does not dry the gel and also led works in different wavelengths then UV. but you are so smart to make it look like my question is stupid.

No one is lecturing you they are telling you that if you are not qualified then this is the wrong place to ask and no one is telling you how to run your life either you are just being rude because no one here will tell you which lamp to get you are acting like a child who has thrown their toys out the pram!!

Lol how funny. Throwing your toys out of the pram.

This is a PROFESSIONAL forum. Did you not read the rules upon signing up?

We are not here to give advice to consumers!

Oh and I LOVE my brainless job, I get to play with nail polish all day and offer beauty treatments which I adore and I earn a nice income for the pleasure.

Good luck in finding your lamp.

Wow! 😳 brainless job! These girls have studied hard to learn their craft! You should be ashamed of yourself! This site is for professionals that have spent time and money in building very successful careears in this industry! It's monkeys that think you can buy a cheapy kit off eBay and be as good as the pros! Professional members of this site will NOT give out advice to non pros, it's site rules and goes for nails, hair & beauty

Ask your mum about the lamp :)
 
This is the title of this sub-forum:
