SUNUVLED UV Light for Nails, UV Dryer for Gel Polish Nail Lamp with Sensor 2 Timers SUN9C White Gift for Women Girls

This is a tentatively positive review -- I come back and edit purchase reviews if they either don't last or are lasting exceptionally well, even after years of having the item. (EDIT: see bottom of post for happy update! :) )I bought this and received it yesterday, after a really annoying transaction with a local nail salon where they did sloppy work and skipped a step so my gels were peeling off within two days. Thought to myself "I have steady hands, how hard can this be?" Last night I used the Gelish pH coat, foundation coat, Gelish polish and top coat with the SunUV 24W LED lamp. Here's the breakdown.This cute little thing was super easy to use. Not being sure my first time and not wanting to mess it up, I cured each coat under the lamp for close to 2 minutes just to be sure...next time I'll try just 60 seconds and then maybe 30 to see. You can definitely feel the warmth of the tiny bulbs: it's not HOT, just warm so that you know it's working. I don't think there's anything "UV" about it, I think it's all LED, but I didn't stare at it anyway. I did my thumbs separately because despite the curve of the lamp, I wasn't sure if it would get all of my thumbnail along with the four fingers due to the way my thumb naturally points down (edit: after 10 months having it now, I can say just put your whole hand in, it does all fingers and thumb equally at the same time).One thing that was odd about the lamp was that it felt ever so slightly like my nails were burning -- but only after the top coat! Not a single other layer felt like that! And I had four opportunities to feel it...two sets of four fingers, two separate thumbs...felt a tiny bit weird for just a couple of seconds and then the sensation quit. I don't know what that means, I don't know that I really care, it wasn't super painful and didn't seem to hurt my skin at all. If all my nails fall off in a couple of months I'll be back here to complain. (edit: comment from Lawrence below was correct -- if you get the burning sensation take your hand out immediately for a second, blow on it, and stick it back in. It's just an initial reaction and won't continue after that)It's only been one day but my nails do look fabulous and seem to be rock solid like after a salon visit, so I'm extremely pleased. To anyone grousing about stickyness -- are you making sure you thoroughly wipe your finished nails down with alcohol? That's THE final step, you're not done till you do that and it WILL be tacky if you don't.EDIT: going on 5 days now, still no chips despite some pretty harsh housework.EDIT 5/15/17 (3 months in): I love my little lamp! I'm so impressed with it. No bulbs have burnt out so far, all the timed and automatic features are still working great, and the effectiveness hasn't diminished. Even if it kicked the bucket tomorrow, I'd re-buy for the great price. I've gotten months of fun out of it already with great looking, salon-hard nails. It's so worth it for a little "me" time, without having to get out of my house to the salon. I put a towel down on my bed and the lamp over it, and watch a movie while I do my nails. Probably one of the best things I've ever bought off Amazon so far. I do NOT need to do it for the auto-90-seconds, I just do about 30 seconds per coat.EDIT 12/4/17 (10 months!): I can't believe this thing is still working! No bulbs out, still curing beautifully. I take back what I said about just 30 seconds per coat though...I do believe that for maximum staying power, 90 seconds is best, 60 seconds minimum. I noticed that my nails were peeling after just four days when I only did 30 seconds per coat.EDIT 5/9/18 (over the year mark!): Definitely one of my best Amazon purchases. Still working its little heart out on a bi-weekly basis. I have such weak, oily nails I do sometimes get a little peeling around the 1-week mark, but it was like that for me at salons too. Easy enough to just soak the chipped nail off and paint a new one on. This is the ONLY way I can grow nails.EDIT 8/21/19 -- Y'all, I don't know how this thing's still going for the price I paid for it, but I'm astounded. Love my lamp, love my nails!

Works so good. Purchase this for my daughter to work on her little gel nail projects. I kind of thought it was just going to be one of the average lights, but it has held up extremely well. She pointed out to me that it was the same one that she has seen being used in professional nail salons. I feel like for the value it is really worth it.

Works just like a salon product

This is a great beginner nail lamp. It does the job but the drying time is a little long I find that I usually have to dry my nails for longer then it is recommended on the nail polish bottle. Besides that I love this nail lamp and would recommend as a beginner the price is also amazing for what you get.

I just started doing my own nails and was pretty nervous about it. I especially didn’t want a big bulky UV light taking up more space in the home. It was slightly overwhelming how many lights options there were on here but the reviews & price point lead me here. This light is cute, compact and easy. It has two time options, it’s motion sensor activated and it packs away easy without taking up much of any space. I don’t think my nails look half bad either!

it’s so nice & fast curing time!!! 🩷🩷✨

This is a great nail light. I ordered it and ended up not needing and returned it. I was impressed with the heat level and nice look and color of the light. I was sad it did not work for me but would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to purchase one.

I am sitting here using it and biding my time trying to get my top coat to dry. Since I can't afford to get my nails done and whenever I use regular nail polish it always chips by day two. I thought I'd invest in this .I bought the special gloves , spent 15 bucks per polish with Sally Hansen miracle gel. Learned how to do my cuticles follow the instructions exactly from the Sunuv light. Use rubbing alcohol if the nails are sticky.It is still taking me forever to get my nails done. I do is then Nicole as I can but then that means I'm doing three thin coats to get solid color (with solid color nail polish) which in the scheme of things takes forever. Then when I go to use the top coat I'm pushing the 60 button at least five times. And still getting fingerprints in my nails when I test them.I can't figure out if this is user error or the gel is too thick by this point. But it's the only way to get nails that look decent.I'm not impressed with this. I guess it just works with 1 thin coat and 1 top coat.It is lightweight, portable, fits my hand just fine. But it doesn't dry my nails well at all. And takes forever. I am disappointed.
