LED Nail Lamp, USpicy LED Brioche Gel & Gelish Light/Polish Dryer (Black 12W) Handy Portable Manicure

I started doing my own gel nails at home about a year ago and have been using a UV lamp also purchased on Amazon. It was great but took so long! I did some research on LED lamps and decided to purchase this USpicy lamp in black and I haven't looked back.My nails take much less time than before and takes up less space in my bag. The lamp is big enough to get your whole hand in, however I would advise doing your thumbs separately as the outside edge of your thumb doesn't cure that well when the whole hand is in. It is also big enough to do toes as well and works really well! The plug and lead is separate from the lamp but simply connects at the side which is great when packing the lamp away and it comes in a lovely box with a free nail file.I opted for black, which I love, however it does get fingerprint marks on it (so if like me, you have OCD issues on things like this, you might like to opt for white!). Also, the actual lamp itself doesn't have a removable tray, which isn't an issue but worth noting if this is something you'd want.I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of investing in an LED lamp :)

Beautiful, sleek design. Works wonderfully - I'm by no means a professional, just enjoy playing around on myself and friends and family nails! This little lamp is perfect. I took the time to read through hundreds of reviews and it was really worth it... Tried it out today and my Bluesky shellac cures super fast. Even though I was a little worried about setting times due to confusion of which wattage lamp the previous reviews were for I opted for the lower watt/price in the end. I tested each layer at 60secs, so in all it took me 10 mins to do a colour changing mani with added nail art. I wouldn't say this is long! Cute nails in minutes, what more could a girl want!? Definitely worth the extra bit of money to opt for LED rather than UV for your health and the lamp looks so much more professional than my old UV too. All in all, couldn't be happier!

I am not happy with this lamp at all, it's already stopped working after owning it for only 5 months.My review is based on my last 5 months experience.The Positive bits.The lamp comes in a nice box, but with no instructions although it's pretty self explanatory.It does cure gel's faster then UV lamps and it's designed nicely and simple to use.The Negative stuff.1. This lamp does not cure a full hand (4 fingers and a thumb) at the same time, the lamp only has led lights on the top and none on the side, therefore, you will need to cure your thumb separately.2. Not suitable for pedicures, the tray of the lamp is not removable, so therefore it's very hard to do your feet unless you have tiny feet3. My lamp stopped working after 5 months, so I feel that it was not money well spent.I've since purchased the Mylee Led lamp on Amazon. I can honestly say it's a much better product.I didn't have any problems with points 1 & 2 as the Mylee lamp has LED's on the sides and the back (not just the top), it also has a very sturdy removable magnetic tray at the bottom which enables me to do my pedicures perfectly.I've not had the lamp long enough to write a review but that will follow on the Mylee page.

Recieved this lamp yesterday after using a UV light for the past year and having to cure each coat for 2mins. Tried it first on my toes, and unlikely other reviews I could fit my feet in. At a not dantity foot size of 7/8 and fairly wide I'm sure if I can fit them in most others can. Cured fine on 60 seconds with my normal gels no issue at all. Today with my fingers I tried going down to 30 secs, and my thumb didn't completely cure. Realised this was down to the light not reflecting completely round to the under side of my thumb nail, so will have to do the thumb separately (most people do this already I'm just lazy). However even with the added time of doing my thumbs separately it still sped up my manicure time, and cut it down loads. Little easy to use machine. I read a review saying it had an automatic sensory when you put fingera underneath. It doesn't but buttons are easily accessible on the top. All in all really happy with this.

The reviews for this product are a bit confusing, as for a lot of them it's hard to tell whether it's for the smaller 12W lamp or the larger (and more expensive) 18W lamp.I went for the 12W as I was originally looking at a UV lamp that was £18, but after reading reviews I decided to pay a bit extra and go for an LED lamp. I'm so glad I did and this uspicy one does the job nicely. I've used it to do a set each of fingers and toes using Bluesky gels and it works really well. I've been curing the gel for 60s a coat, as I'm not sure whether or not the 12W is powerful enough to do it in 30s, though will give it a go next time, as obviously this would save a lot of time.All in all I'm really pleased with my purchase and recommend the 12W lamp as a decent home LED lamp.I have also found that pure acetone works really well as a prep solution and acetone free nail varnish remover as a finishing solution, both of which you can get pretty cheap from the high street, so no need to shell out loads for the 'proper' solutions.
