"There is a lot of confusion about LED lamps; can they be used to properly cure any type of UV curing nail product? The answer is NO! It is true that all LED lamps create UV light and will ‘harden’ UV curable products, but unless the LED lamp was specifically designed to properly cure this particular UV nail product, don’t expect to achieve a proper cure."
