Melodysusie Starter-Friendly Mini LED UV Nail Lamp with 2 Timers, Pocket-Sized for Handheld & Desktop Use, P-art04 UV Light for Gel Nail Especially Instant Nails, Base/top Coat & Half-Cured Gel White

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.

This product worked great and I got the results I wanted.

It can’t fit my whole hand, have to do a separate session for my thumb but I love it nonetheless!

I've had his product for a year and it's worked well. I've used it mostly with gel polishes and the main issue I've found is that it only has the bulbs on just the top which sometimes causes the gel polish not to dry evenly, requiring you to do another round of curing and making sure you are exposing the sides of your nails so everything cures. It would work better with a few more bulbs and having them more evenly distributed for better curing.

I like the smaller size. Easy to use. I also use for my resin molds to cure.

I am by no means afraid to admit I was fooled by the good reviews and false promises. You wouldn't think it would be so bad to buy a really cheap lamp right? Guess we were all wrong pals! First off, I understand you get what you pay for. That's one obvious factor in this situation. When I opened my package, I just checked to make sure everything was there and all was good. I hadn't used it until quite some time later, too late to waste my money on sending it back. When I did get to using the nail lamp, I was immediately dissapointed by the fact the cord didn't work. Knowing the reason I bought this lamp was that my friend used to use the same one, I borrowed her cord. I marveled at the new glory it took on, very bright and noted the small amount of heat it fave off. But I considered it nothing and kept using it. To be clear, I was setting my nails under in sets of two so I would use it less because I wanted to get the most of my money before it would eventually break. By the time I got to my last two fingers, it started smelling but I assumed that was from me filing the pile gel on the other hand. This final interval, something dropped on my skin and at first I was sitting there like "What the HECK?" Until it started BURNING! The light had melted it's own plastic and one of the bulbs, covered in molten plastic mind you, fell onto my skin! The burn blistered and k couldn't even get a fun manicure story out of it because my ONLY LAMP melted away before it could set my nails.Ladies, gentleman, cheap nail connoisseurs, don't do it. I thought this was a steal, as you probably did looking at the price, not worth the finger pain and fume inhalation.
