If it were me, I would use them on gel nails, but, I would not use the UV lamp. my opinion only.

Yes. The Gelish products are designed to work with LED lights. Needs to cure in LED for 30 seconds or UV for 3 minutes.

Yep! Any led lamp should work with any gel polish, though there might be a slight difference in timing.

I bought a Shany brand UV nail lamp on Amazon. I just double the curing time with the UV compared to the LED. SHANY UV Gel Light Nail Dryer, 36 Watts Pro Series

The directions for all gel polishes and UV lights say to only put under lights for 2 mine at a time! More time does not equal drier polish...just more smudgy mess!!

No, The gelish polish is very liquid and does dry at all until it is put under the light. There is a UV light and an UV/LED light. Most gelish polishes work with either light. The UV/LED is the newer product on the market and is preferred. That is because the UV/LED light dryes quicker and does not tan or harm your hands, there is no need to use sun tan lotion when using the UV/LED light.

Not sure what you mean by hard gel. I use my lamp with any brand of gel nail polish requiring the UV led light. Works great! Would not work to harden regular nail polish.

If the gel polish says LED Cured, then this lamp will work. If it says UV only, then it won't work.

There are two different types of light for gel/shellac nails: LED and UV. UV takes longer than LED. You need one or the other for OPI.

I have a uv lamp . So I'm not sure . But I don't see why it wouldn't. Most of the gels I've used will work under both . The led is actually better than the uv. So I'm pretty sure it will.

Yes! Just as long as the nail polish is a gel polish that must be cured with UV or LED light.

Yes, the brand of the polish and lamp do not matter just as long as they are gel polishes and either a UV or LED lamp

Yes, Sully. I haven't found a gel polish that it doesn't work with. And I have had mine for quite some time and all of the lights are still working. Good luck!

UV or LED lamp will cure most gel polishes. LED will get the job done faster but will cost you more initially. I got my UV lamp from here on Amazon when it was about 50% off and it works great for me. I love Gelish!

I doubt it. I have never tried that, but I think the gel is what makes it work with the light. Gel can be purchased separately from what I understand.

Yes, for most gels like this one, you do. A uv or led light works with geleration. I've heard the drug store brands that don't need a light peel off after a couple days. I recommend a led light since a uv light is like a tanning bed and over time may cause cancer & it dries your nails so much faster.

Yeah, all the nail polishes I have have instructions for both UV and LED usually it just says to put your nails under the lamp for 30-60 seconds instead of 2 minutes. The lamp beeps after 30 seconds and turns off after 60. I have some china glaze, OPI, Orly, Sally Hansen and Sensationail gel-nail polishes and they all work with this lamp.
