New lamp needed, thinks that's the problem!

[cbeautyc]

I need a new lamp, well I think that's the problem?
I use OPI and shellac, OPI mainly, but only under a UV lamp as never needed to up-grade, till now. I now want a LED lamp that cures both but is mainly for my OPI. I'm not sure to invest in OPI new white lamp?
Also in thinking of using ink as well?
The reason for my change is I'm finding my clients are losing one nail and completely coming off within a week, power of elimination, think it's my lamp, no prep change I can think of. Oh I've been prepping with Gellux prep and wipe and not NAS.
Just want to change my end before I say I think it's something u are doing!

You are mixing systems and that is why you are not getting the results that you want.

To get the best from a system you need to follow the manufactures guidelines correctly, this includes using all the correct prep products and lamp from your chosen systems.

There is no lamp that will cure both OPI and Shellac to a full cure, you will need the Shellac lamp for Shellac and the OPI lamp for OPI

I had problems with the regular UV lamps...since investing in my Gelish lamp I've had no problems at all and its cured every brand I've tried! If it ever breaks I will be getting the INK lamp for sure x

When did you last replace the bulbs in your UV lamp ?

Prob a year + ago? But I don't do just nails so prob 10 sets a week?
I def want a LED lamp now and keep UV as backup.

Then I should replace your bulbs first before you do anything else . If you get sudden breakdown of service the bulbs is the fist thing you should look at . Doing ten sets a week over the course of the year they are defo due for change
