I saw this and wondered if anyone has used it yet! I'm guessing in still uv but with the red added?

I'm considering buying this today, looks great. Anyone used one yet?

I saw this before but I'm a bit confused by it, infrared is at the opposite end of the light spectrum to UV so not sure how fully that would cure a gel with a UV catalyst

I did wonder if it was UV and infrared but then it also says it has the "lowest radiation" and since UV is a type of radiation again i would be worried it wouldn't do a full cure

Anyone know more on the science behind this?

I was intrigued by this item so I googled it and here is the link to it's website with all the info:

Assuming it does cure ALL brands (???), how can it claim the benefits of infra - red light as your nails are obviously in the light for so little time!!!
When using IR before a back massage for example, you would keep the light at a suitable distance from the skin and leave it on for a few minutes.

Not convinced on face value to be honest, but I'm prepared to be proved wrong!
