yes my nsi lamp cures my shellaci do about 5 shellacs a week
When I first started using Shellac, I used my NSI lamp which seemed to cure the product fine. Great I thought, I won't need to spend more money on another lamp because this one works fine.
Then a client reported that they were getting chips after a couple of days wear, another client was getting chipped Shellac after a week. The solution - I immediately sourced a CND Brisa Lamp, and since using the correct lamp I have had NO complaints because it is the correct lamp to cure this product.
The moral of the story - listen to the advice on here! Get yourself a CND lamp if you are using Shellac. It is a FANTASTIC product if used correctly, your customers will love it and you will definately more than recoup the money you spend on buying the correct lamp. Plus I'm sure you wouldn't want to compromise your reputation by providing a Shellac service that WILL at some point breakdown if you're using the wrong lamp to cure it.

I don't think anyones been rude. People have answered the question and some are frustrated that people dodnt utilise the search function before posting. Or in this case have done but even after reading the overwhelming amount of advice that indicates you do HAVE to buy the correct lamp for your system..still asked if its necessary anyway.
You don't have to try 2 different lamps to give a valid answer, most shellac techs on this site used their common sense and bought the right lamp straight away.
A topic about systems is being discussed in another thread just now.
If the nails are lasting as well then I don't see what the problem is. Surely if they weren't curing properly there would be problems with them.
Then you should tell the client you are not using the right lamp for the job & although it might LOOK cured, if it is not, the result is that the CLIENT may eventually get an allergic reaction to the product & therefore not be able to have gels again....then let her make the decision......
I would be furious to find out that it was a professional tech that had made me allergic to a product & I could no longer have them.
You do hear of tech's having to give up because of over exposure.
If you can't afford a new lamp then use the gels that say "no special lamp needed"
