Review (5/5): Great starter lamp for people getting into gel polish.
Why all the hate and bad reviews? This lamp is the price of a Chipotle burrito (for context). This is basically the same lamp that comes with the Madam Glam Gel Kit (which costs $35 if you buy it separately on Madam Glam, this one just doesn't have the cute designs on it).
I wanted to make sure I liked the gel polish system but I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a lamp until I knew I liked the gel system. This is nothing fancy: turn it on, it lights up for 60 seconds then turns off (30 seconds will be nice but that's what your phone timer is for). USB powered so the short cord is a non-issue for me (always close to a computer and you can use your portable cell phone battery charger to power this). It's small, but I have small hands so no big deal. You can't get your whole hand in there, but it do both my thumbs last. The polish cures in 30-60 seconds (depends on what your polish says), works as advertised.
The short cord and the small sized are its weak points, but the price makes up for all that and I can live with the flaws. Since this is so portable, this is great for mani/pedi parties with your girl/guy friends, or use as a back-up lamp.
