SUNUV UV LED Nail Lamp, Nail Dryer for Gel Polish UV Light for Nails with Sensor 2 Timers SUN9C Pink 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!

Great lamp! I had a cheaper one before and it ended up breaking on me, decided to get one that’s a bit pricier, definitely worth it. It dries quickly and doesn’t leave anything uncured which could lead to contact dermatitis. Definitely purchase and be safe!

I’m typing this after only an hour after finishing my nails!It’s been quite a journey for me “nail-wise”. I have very, naturally long and hard nails and Gel nail polish has began to destroy my nail beds. I’ve NEVER had cracked nails, but NOW my right thumb simply won’t grow anymore without cracking vertically! It WON’T GROW IN NORMALLY ANY LONGER!I rarely give reviews, however, this time I felt the NEED to tell women that get their nails done regularly with Gel nail polish that it can destroy the nail enamel for LIFE. I don’t get acrylics or SNS or even fashion glued on stuff. All I ask for is a manicure with a nail polish of my choice, but Gel nail polish is horrifying to remove, which involves scraping, filing down with tools, and corrupting your nail beds when it should remove easier with 100% acetoneI became determined to do my own nails at home I order the:GAOY Jelly Nude Gel Nail Polish, 16ml Sheer Translucent Soak Off Gel Polish, UV Light Cureand the:SUNUV UV LED Nail Lamp, Nail Dryer for Gel Nail Polish UV Light for Nails with Sensor 2 Timers SUN9CIt really does dry within 8 minutes. I haven’t messed up a nail YET after 40 minutes, which I’m notorious for when using regular nail polish. The dryer is even more professional than professional!!! The Gel Polish is wonderful right now, but I’ll have to see what happens when I want to take it off.It lasts for a few weeks and stays shiny if you use a top coat. I ordered more colors.

Easy to use. You just have to plug it in. I use this for my press on toes and works great. You don’t have to press the buttons on top every time. has a sensor inside so you can just put your hands inside and take it out when you want

I love the size of this. I can cure all five fingers at once! It takes a little more time than my original, but the results are wonderful.

Worked great! My dogs even knocked it on the ground literally right after I took it out of the package and it still worked. There is a 30second and 60 second timer on there which I liked and it dried my gel polish so fast!

UPDATE -- while the product did not work for me, I'm bumping my review up from 2 stars to 3 stars for customer service. The seller contacted me directly after reading my review which I was not expecting at all.I’ve unfortunately passed the point of being able to return this product or I would. It seemed to work OK in the beginning but no matter how long I try to cure a gel coat, no matter how thin, it never gets all the way through.I bought a smaller more powerful one just to cure the gel x nail glue I use prior to using this one on just color/top coats and even that tedious process isn’t getting me any lasting results.I’ll be replacing this one with one I bought a friend that cured in one round of 99 seconds, versus several rounds of 60 seconds on this lamp.

I bought this led nail lamp way back in 2018 and it's still going strong. It dries base coats and thin polish layers in about 30 seconds and thicker coats of structural gel set hard in about 60 seconds. I cure my top coat for 90 seconds, just to be safe; but it really doesn't need that long. All in all, you can't beat the quality for the price. I've had mine for 7 years and I'm extremely happy with it. I have thin weak nails and this allows me to do gel manicures and grow my nails out, without the expense of going to the salon every few weeks.
