UV Led Nail Lamp

For those that want to know, this nail polish hardener works for nail resin as well as 3d printer resin. Works with anycubic, Phrozen, elegoo, siraya tech, and probably all others. I have a uv flashlight that is crazy bright, and resin drops run from it like it is a flaming torch. If I shine my flashlight into the alcohol wash, it boils and churns. I made two identical sized resin drops, hit one with the flashlight for 10 seconds, yielding 75% of the drop hardened, with just a little liquid in the center. The nailpolish hardener light set to 10 seconds was able to fully harden the resin, it was still slightly sticky, but no bubble of liquid in the drop. So without a more scientific test, I would say it is much more powerful that the high power 18650 UV flashlights. The only thing to understand is this has three output levels. If you start it on a 10/30/60 second cycle, it will run full power. If you run it using the 99 second timer, you get 30 seconds at low power, 20 seconds of medium power and 49 seconds of high power. I'm sure there is a reason for this, and it is probably covered in the manual I did not read because I was not curing nail polish. These LED's don't have a uv filter, so they output a lot of yellow light with the UV, but for curing resin you don't care about that, unfiltered led's will probably be brighter. So for people curing 3d prints, nail salon poolish hardener systems are great for resin utility. A favorite thing to do is take my glove covered hands drippoing in resin from cleaning a print, and put your gloved hands in the nail hardener, it will auto turn on, and cure the resin on your gloves. Set it on 30 and give each hand 7 seconds on each side before you take your gloves off, that way you can reuse the gloves many times, and they will not spread resin everywhere. you can take the bottom off the nail light, and set it on top of your alcohol tank, scan your workbench to harden stray resin drops and smears, and generally reduce the sticky part of the mess. Use a formica work surface, and the hardened resin will pop right off with your scraper.

I just got this yesterday so I can't speak to the longevity, but even if it lasts a couple of months I'll feel I got my money's worth. This is my third nail lamp. I had given up on gel nail polish, but I like having my nails done, can't usually make it to the nail salon and still owned a ton of gel polish. My first lamp came in a huge gel starter kit and was low wattage with not many lights inside. Sticky mess even after wiping with alcohol. Second lamp was very high wattage but also had very few bulbs and also burned my fingers. Sticky, painful mess. Took a chance on this lamp because the wattage is high enough to cure, low enough to not burn, and at its price point, had the most lights. That means there's light hitting every possible angle of my ridiculously petite, curved nail beds. Did my first successful gel mani as soon as I opened the box. Fully cured in 30 seconds per coat. Yes! Finally! A word of advice to those new to gel: If you think your lamp isn't curing your polish, make sure you give your nails a wipe with 99% rubbing alcohol to remove the inhibition layer. Basically, any gel polish exposed to oxygen will feel sticky. Don't worry about this stickiness between layers because as soon as it's covered by another coat of polish and put under the lamp, it will fully harden. You only need to worry about wiping the top coat with alcohol.

It works great but the bottom plate likes to just fall off when moving it around, even when you are holding by the top of the dryer and not the bottom plate. That's my only issue with it. Considering super gluing the bottom to the top just to keep it from falling off but would make it more tricky to clean when needed.

I have two driers I got in the past few months, and this is my favorite. The other works well too, but this one is just superior in every way-- clear large number count down, easy to use plug, clear buttons, fun bizarro design.

This was the 3rd time ordering one of these from Amazon and I almost gave up and dropped a whole lot more money so I could have a good fast working nail lamp. I'm glad I decided to give this one a try because it works on every gel polish I have, UV or LED with no wrinkling of polish. I love being able to do my own chip proof/long lasting manicures at home quickly. It can get kinda hot if you work too fast, but it has a removable bottom so you can keep your hands further away from the lights without compromising the drying time. It doesn't get nearly as hot as some others I've tried 10/10 recommend

I really like this light. It is super easy to use with both a timer or a sensor option. The base comes off if you want it to, they suggest for your toes but I didn't need to take it off to fit my foot in. Lights are all around inside so curing is great even with your thumb too!

Looks adorable and perfect for my need- which is UV Resin curing. The cord is a little short. Well worth the price!

Great lamp super cute and works great

It’s an amazing uv light. Works really well good quality.

Power cord too short other than that it works fine.
