IBD cures in 30 seconds, Shellac 2 minutes because it is not chemically engineered to cure in less but IBD will cure in LED in 30, yet in UV in 2 minutes, same with OPI

It works with most Shellac polish. There are only a few Shellac colors that the 18G LED can not cure, eq. Shellac "Romantique."

Yes. I have used all Gelish products with both. LED lamps are faster to cure, 30 seconds, compared to UVB lamps curing taking 2 minutes to cure. This is the only difference. Is faster better for the price difference? Maybe if you are in a hurry.

Shellac will only cure under a UV lamp. LED lamps are different from UV lamps... I double checked to make sure that I was correct and found this answer on a nail blog:"Shellac was not formulated with the right photoinitiators to cure properly in an LED lamp. If you try it, expect all the problems you'd see with under curing or over curing". I bought the CND UV lamp right here on Amazon and I love it! It has different settings on it.

I Jessica, I have never used Gelish with a LED lamp. Quality of Gelish is very good and works well with UV Lamp, it looks very shiny. I have got a UV lamp for less than $20 and it has been working very good. That' only a suggestion.

They will cure the same. Uv lights just take longer than an led light. . Gelish has a great mini led light for 25$ . Just b sure 2 buy the plug in adapter. . Doesn't work great with batteries ;)

I really don't know. Everything I have read says you need to check the brand of polish to see what kind of light works with it and the curing times. Maybe they have a web site that would have that information. Sorry I am not more help.

With any shellac polish I only use a UV light. Don't know enough of the difference between LED & UV. I would seek a Google answer.

Hi Carla, yes, the UV light is needed to cure the gel. The base and yop cat ate also needed and have to be cured with the light as well. It's a really pretty color too. Enjoy! - Dr.Anne

I have been using GEL UV curing polish since October 2011. And yes, at home with an UV light I ordered off of Amazon. Just search for "36W UV curing light" and it will pop up. I paid approximately $40.00 and it has never failed since 2011.

Yes you can cure at home with the correct light. A LED UV light will cure opi gelcolors but not opi axxium! Axxium can be cured with an UV light only. UV lights are less expensive but take longer to cure- usually 2 minutes per coat. A LED UV light only takes 30 seconds to cure so it is more expensive 100$ and &gt;

Dixie, did you find an answer to your question? I want to know if the Nova lamp will correctly cure OPI Gel nails also.Did you find another alternative?
