Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

My husband bought me this LED lamp for my birthday. A few months ago, I purchased a UV lamp on Amazon for around $50. It worked great, but with doing usually 3 color coats, plus a base coat and top coat, it was taking a long time. This lamp is awesome because it only takes 20 seconds for the base coat and lighter colors, and 30 seconds for dark colors. Plus it turns on automatically when you place your hands inside it. I ALWAYS have my nails done now, and once you get the hang of it, they really do look professionally done. I have been using the Gelish base and top coat, and either Gelish polish or Red Carpet Manicure from Ulta. I am so glad I got the LED lamp to replace the UV one!!
I purchased this for my OPI Gelcolor nails, because the UV lamps get so hot. I had this and tried it a couple times and it just did not cure well at all. Sent it back and the fun began. I had a hard time getting the lamp to begin with. I kept getting excuses that it was stuck on a boat in the harbor (San Pedro, CA) and they would get it mailed out right away when they got it, took me 3 weeks. When I had to send it back, because it was faulty, they would not accept delivery and USPS had to leave them the pink slip, about the delivery. I then had to file a claim with Amazon (thank GOD for Amazon), I'm not waiting to get my money back, will keep you posted.
I using UV lights for 2 years ,it work so well .I want to replace to led lights for the best services to client .But this led lamp is so poor quality. The thumb nail doesn't dry. Gel color run down to the side and get wrinkle because the light is not enough power. The lamp do not have the light on the side.It should have the light on the side like Opi led light or ,Gelish 18G lamp.I try it because the price is cheap compare with those lamp but it do not work.Wasting my time . Two clients were not happy with the thumb problem, I have to fix by using my uv light ,...I have to pay $12 for return shipping .
Nice sleek size for my station but a little disappointed that the light function doesn't work the same each time. Some clients will put their hand in and after the first 30 seconds it will automatically go back on which is great for me while I'm working on the other hand. Other times it just doesn't and I have to stop and manually put it back on. Wish it had a 1 and 2 minute setting too. I originally purchased it for the use of my cnd shellac but it doesn't cure that in 30 seconds so I have to put the clients hand in 4 times.
I am new to doing gel nails at home. I am not a professional. This light works well if you know what you are doing. I have been playing around with it and realize if you follow the instructions properly with your gel polish it will work perfect. I have noticed when I do my thumbs I tend to apply the polish a little thicker for some reason and cause them not to dry properly. Just take your time and apply the gel thinly in each step. The gelish works perfect. As one reviewer said dark colors take a little longer. I did try theSchellac by cnd and it did not work to well, however, when I tried it some of the nails dried hard and some did not. So, it may just take some playing around. I may try it again and let you know how it goes. Just remember to follow the instructions ad they are different from the Gellish. The light is great. No replacing bulbs. That in itself makes the light worth the money. All five fingers will cure at the same time Just spread the fingers. The seller got the product to me in the time stated when I ordered. would order from them again.
All I have to say is that I'm in love with the Nova LED light! It couldn't be easier to use and so much cheaper than all the other competing lights! The build quality is great and I absolutely love the pearl white sheen it has to it. My girlfriends and I are now excited about our Gelish manicure parties. We're all collecting and sharing colors J
This is truly one SPEEDY light! I can't believe how long my manicures last now. My manicures feel bulletproof after curing with this light. Needless to say, I urge everyone to choose Nova LED lights over Gelish!
I bought NOVA LED Nail light and also the smaller travel size based on the great reviews. I was traveling and used the small one for 4 months -- it takes a long time to cure but I think because it was smaller so less power. I got home from my travels and used this light three times in the past month. I am so disappointed and upset that I spent $200 for nothing. The Gelish just would not cure under the NOVA light -- it's wet after 1 minute - 2 minutes and the alcohol would take it partially off when doing the final cleaning. (Horrible! I have to redo...) I decide to go for 2 minutes for each layer and after the final cleaning, it still would not be as shining as using the UV lamp. In addition, the thumbs have to be done separately as the light is from the top, I figured. It really beats the purpose if it takes 2 minutes for each layer and additional time for thumbs -- my old UV lamp takes 2 minutes for each lay for BOTH hands (all 10 fingers). I cannot return the product right now since I did not use the product and discover the problem before I went traveling. The small one ($89) took about 2 minutes for each layer but it's compact enough for traveling. I have to go back to use my old UV lamp but at least it gives me beautifully shining nails and its performance is predictable. With this NOVA light, I never knew when the nails would dry or whether the cleaning alcohol would take it off. I envy everyone who has the light worked for them quickly (10sec, 20sec, 30 sec.). I have experimented several ways but the results were the same disappointing.
This NOVA light design is very nice and I love the fact that I can cure five finger at once, however had to return the light because it was not curing properly. I had problems with the gel shrinking and/or not curing. After returning the light I purchased a small Red Carpet light and it works fine at less than half the cost of this light.
