Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

While looking for an LED light, I wanted to make sure it had good reviews first. As a cosmetologist and someone who likes to research products before I buy; I am writing this to educate people and help them decide if this is the light for them. First things first, a LED light is a LED light. The only other thing to check for is the wattage. I read some reviews complaining how their polish didn't last, but never mentioned the products they used or the application process. The problems you may encounter probably has to do with the polish you're using or the application. I'm going on 2 weeks now with my polish and it looks like I just did them. I used OPI Gel Base coat, polish, and top coat. The LED light will NOT work with regular polish. To prep the nails; file, buff, and clean the nail with acetone polish remover. If you apply lotion or use soap after you prep your nails, you NEED to use the acetone again. When applying the base coat (1x), polish (2x) , & top coat (1x) , make sure you are getting as close to the edges of your nail bed as well as the tip of your nail. After the top coat has cured, you MUST use alcohol that is at least 70% or the polish will be sticky, won't last, etc. I hope this helps at least one person while researching an LED light for their nails. I have had no issues with this light and would recommend.
