I have been looking for a nail lamp to start doing my nails at home. The salons are so expensive so thought I would give it a try! I found some inexpensive gel polish with a built in base coat and a separate top coat. It took me once practicing to get used to doing my own, but they only take 30 seconds in this lamp! Quick and easy! I love all of the options you get with this brand of lamp. My current color has stayed on for two weeks now and still looks amazing and like a professional did them! I highly recommend this nail lamp the price is much lower than so many others that I checked out prior to this purchase.
