A friend of mine used led light and it didn't work. I have used UV light at spa and at my home, with good results. What are gloves made of?

They are made from polyester. I use them all the time when using my UV light.

Just search "gel nail uv light" on here and they have a ton to choose from. I got one for $19.99 that works great!

The Lamp in question uses LED ( LIGHT EMMI TING DIODES ) to produce an ultra violet light ( UV Light ). Standard UV lamps that are not LED use Fluorescent tubes to produce the UV Light. The result of using the LED is that it gives a much more specific wavelength of light which in turn cures the polish MUCH quicker.

It is definitely LED. UV lamps are very hard for consumers to get at retail, ebay is probably your best source. It can be used with pretty much all of the other LED polishes out there (e.g. Sensationail, Sally Hansen).

Yes, gelish actually had a led light they sell, but the first light I had was uv and it worked just fine :-) you do need alcohol to put on top of it after your done with the color and light. It helps set it and have it dry instantly

I would recommend to use the magic glove only for painting. Both type of lights are not good for your hands or your nails. Your nails get weaker and will be hard to get them back to normal and your hands in time will dry out even more. I am talking because my nails now are very weak and break easily. I only use magic glove for oil painting. It is a good product but you still need to wear protective disposable gloves.

If the gel polish says LED Cured, then this lamp will work. If it says UV only, then it won't work.

I have an LED light, but to answer your question Yes you have to have either LED or UV light to dry this product.

I use sunscreen on my hands (and face) prior to putting on the gloves. Even with prolonged sun exposure (6+ hours a day) I haven't noticed any coloration difference with my fingertips.

This flashlight puts out near UVA light, at about 400 nm. Humans can see down to 385 nm. Bright Sunlight has more radiation at this wavelength than this flashlight so our eyes get exposed to this level of near UV light for hours at a time if you don't wear sunglasses. UVA is hardly filtered by the ozone layer so almost all UVA reaches us and this flashlight produces light at the very edge of UVA and visible light.People fear UV but it is the deep UV that harms you. Turn the light on and put it on your arm. Do you get sunburn that is caused by UV? No way. Put your arm under a DEEP UV light and it will cause redness. Just use a regular pair of sunglasses if you want but it is unnecessary. This flashlight puts out near UVA light, at about 400 nm. Humans can see down to 385 nm.

Uv light. But there are a lot of brands of nail UV light. And I'm sure you notice a huge price difference. The cheaper ones will not cure as quickly or well. I have bought a couple and learned lessons the hard way.

They are LED not UV! UV light takes longer to cure. Like 3 mins compared to 30 seconds. Great product love mine!

Hi Sandra, I'm not sure about any UV issues regarding the usage of these lights. There are numerous studies on the benefits of the red lights and blue lights. I would suggest asking the seller. Good luck.

Turn on when ever you use lamp. The lights get hot and it keeps the housing cool,preventing over heating. Use the gloves they offer. To prevent exposure to UV . Hopes this helps

You're welcome.I can say though, there is very little heat given off the LED lights so perhaps that is why they haven't given power density information. What I believe is most relevant from my research is light wavelength - this is what initiates healing and pain relief.It does work - I used this on my dog yesterday. He had a limp (from his arthritis) and today, seems to be back to his normal self.I hope that helps.

I have tried different kinds of UV, see below .: http://www.crlaurence.com/crlapps/showline/offerpage.aspx?Productid=3608&GroupID=15683&History=39324:42484:42486:15680&ModelID=15683 http://www.lightinthebox.com/huntereyes-395-400nm-21-led-uv-flashlight-blue-3xaaa_p1498534.html?litb_from=sysmail However they did not cure the adhesive enough.

I bought a Shany brand UV nail lamp on Amazon. I just double the curing time with the UV compared to the LED. SHANY UV Gel Light Nail Dryer, 36 Watts Pro Series
