Despite the device being too small to cure a whole hand at once, everybody said they planned to keep using the LED lamp after the trial, while the polish gave good coverage and left a smooth finish.

With its compact size and easy-to-use nature, this LED lamp ensures a hassle-free, efficient manicure every time. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to standard acetone again, as the gels just peeled off without need a tool to remove it.
