Can you use opi as well?

Yes, while this UV lamp is designed to perfectly cure CND Shellac, it will also work on most types of uv cured gel and polish. You may refer to OPI's gel polish instruction guide for proper curing times.

Yes. All shellac a would work on this. It's a uv light so it gets the job done

Yes, I have a variety of polishes in mine including OPI. Nice to be able to see everything at once!

I have a Thermal Spa Professional V2 that works fine. I recently heard that OPI makes one that dries in 30 seconds. I would check into that one if I didn't already have one. Have fun playing with your nails!

I think so i am not a professional but once in wile still go for the hand message etc polish noticed the girls are using other than opi base and top coat along with opi polish stayed on great !!all will feel a little tacky at end even after cure until you wipe with alcohol don't forget go easy on polish and top and bottom coat so doesn't get the too thick look ,Happy pretty nails :-)

Hi Tara,Yes you definitely can, but please note that the main purpose of this product is to moisturizer your skin, while giving you all of the benefits that niacinamide provides.

You can use it anyway, no matter they are not only for women....I bought this vits because my parents can use it together....

I'm sure you can. I use it at home with OPI colors as well as other brands and it works great. I don't have the OPI light. The light I use takes each coat two minutes to cure.

Hi Laura, I am so late. I rarely check this e-mail. Yes, you can use it on your feet. Just take the silver bar off. However, this is really not a good product. I expected more from OPI. The volts/watts are not that strong either. I purchased a lamp for about $10.00 and it works a lot better than this curing lamp. This is a piece of junk, from my perspective. You will need to cure the nails two times or more with this lamp. I will say this, purchase with your own risk.

Dixie, did you find an answer to your question? I want to know if the Nova lamp will correctly cure OPI Gel nails also.Did you find another alternative?

Hi Colleen, What kind of lamp are you using? I have the cheap Sensationail LED one and I only do 60 second per coat - 2 minutes seems highly unnecessary unless you're using a UV lamp (which I recommend you get rid of... UV lamps tan/age your hands, go for LED!). What brand are you using for the polish colour? If it's not OPI, that might be why you're having issues. A lot of brands aren't super compatible, especially if you're using a drugstore brand (non-pro) with OPI. I use the OPI base & top coats mostly with OPI colour and it always lasts until I remove it or it grows off. If you find yourself frequently wetting/drying your hands (e.g. a weekend spent at the beach frequently in and out of the water) you might find it starts peeling because that amount of expanding and shrinking of your nails is going to make it difficult for the polish to stay adhered. If you have naturally oily skin/nails it might just mean that gel polish isn't going to work for you. But if you've had gel polish done at a salon and it's worked just fine, then something in your technique isn't working. Finally, get the OPI bond-aid - if that doesn't help the gel polish stick to your nails (I don't use it because I find it makes it too hard to remove), then I think you're out of luck with gel polish. Try shellac (chips like crazy on me but I know it works for other people really well).

I don't think that would be wise. These products all contain varying amounts of retinol......so I wouldn't mix them.

You can but you won't get the same results. I am sold on the serum that comes with the Opal.

Thank you to those who answered. I do not smoke and I followed instructions. I know that formaldehyde can be damaging and I have since noted that OPI does a non-formaldehyde product. My nails are really messed up with the one I used.

Yes, I have used Gelish and OPI gel with the base and top coat from this kit.

I think you can if you don't have any other lubricant. If you mix lubricants, I think you could have issues.

You absolutely can; however, the new sets are the same price as the refills so it's really up to you. No reason to buy a new one if it works just fine. We chose to buy a new set since the old one started leaking vit c. Still love the product though! Works really well.
