Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I got this a couple days ago. Wouldn't have bought it but it was at such a great price. I was so excited waiting for its arrival (which was fast being a Prime product). First off, the packaging was amazing. It is put in such a nicely designed box made especially for it (and I don't even mean the box shipped from Amazon). There is a thick protective sheet covering the underneath as Ive shown in the picture. It's blue. Not so easy to peel off. When you look at the underside you think, is this really going to do the trick? Will it cure like it's supposed to? Well be careful when you turn this baby on. It can blind you. It looks to me as though there are only 4 LED lights? But somehow they're extremely bright. So, don't let its simplicity fool you. As far as its operation... you turn it on with the little heart button on the top. It has an automatic timer set for 45 seconds. The light comes on when you hit the button and turns off after the 45 seconds. Most gel nail products range from 30 to 60 seconds for LED curing. Read the product instructions to let you know how long. You do need to make sure that your product works with LED lights. I've read somewhere that although a lot of products only specify it's to use with UV light, that LED's can often work, but this is not always the case. I specifically tried a gel builder that only said UV and the LED didn't cure it in the slightest. So, keep your UV lamp just in case. BUT, I'm telling you, I LOVE this thing. It cuts the time in half. And something that you might not even think about, is that you can even get better results. I am an amateur trying to learn to do gel nails. I've been at this for over 6 months now and still have so much to learn. One issue I have had is the gel running. Meaning that it doesn't stay in place. I know a lot has to do with the viscosity of the gel. But even so, using an LED light cuts the curing time in 1/2 so the gel doesn't run as quickly. Trying to apply evenly while avoiding cuticles has been tough for me to learn especially when using a UV light. Since the UV takes longer, the gel would have a tendency to run and sometimes pool in the cuticle area. They can also turn out looking lumpy. So, with this LED lamp, I am able to do a better job and save a lot more time in the process. I just did the best job I've ever done so far by using it. So glad I purchased it. Wish I had bought it sooner. I hope this helps.
