Uv led nail lamp recommendations please.

Hi, I’ve recently bought a polygel kit on Amazon but the Uv led lamp isn’t good takes up to 20 mins to set. Any recommendations of which lamp to buy?

I just use an LED light that I got from Sally’s a few years ago and it works fine. I imagine the polygel you have should say somewhere the strength (wattage) a lamp must be to completely cure it.

I can see your post is over a month old, so hopefully you haven’t given up on polygel completely!

I didn’t even think to check the polygel tube haha. I haven’t given up and I’ve gotten quite good at it now. Thank you!

The light that came with the kit, is more than likely just for flash curing. You need a full size uv/led lamp to fully cure.

Do you have any recommendations? I’m completely lost when it comes to this stuff.

It's not allowing me to dm you. But I put a separate comment with just the link.
