I decided that I wanted to start doing my own gel nails, so obviously I would need a gel curing lamp, my boyfriend bought me this one for my birthday, and it is aamazing, my nails look fab, and they are strong. Just incase anyone doesn't know, you have to rub the nail with a nail wipe with a cleaning spray to get off the 'tacky' layer, so the nail does not feel 'sticky'. The timer is great on it, dead easy, so you know you have left them in the right amount of time, I always do mine for two lots of the timer, to make sure they are done really well - honestly would recommend this to anyone doing nails, its really fab! and i will enjoy keep using it! :)
