Review (2/5): meh... time to buy a professional grade lamp
this has one of the highest wattages of all LED nail lamps so i figure it’ll work better than the 12v i already have. plus, the ones the salons use are too pricey and have less voltage. long story short, it seems to cure well, hardening the polish better than my 12v lamp. i’m really rough on my hands due to laundry, dishes, and constant hand washing so only time will tell. my only complaint so far is the bottom is really loose that it comes off easily. i was moving it from the counter to the table and the bottom fell right off.
UPDATE - it’s only been 3 days since i did my nails and they’re already starting to bubble. some have already started peeling. updated my review from 4 stars to 2. i wore gloves during dish washing so i hope the heat trapped inside the gloves wasn’t the cause. i always apply thin layers and cap the free edges so my technique is solid. i’m going to bite the bullet and spend the money on a professional lamp.
