I know that we've been told to use the manufacturer's lights with their product, and I understand their reasoning. I just don't buy it.
We were told for years not to mix product or something horrible like service break down or worse would happen. Well, some of us rebels (Me, Lynette, Maggie, Dianna et al) did it anyway and guess what happened? Nothing! Imagine that! What we discovered is service break down has a lot more to do with a tech's SKILL than the products used. I use Something Wonderful with all my enhancement products, I use Naillite universal liquid with all my powders, I use acetone to soak off and alcohol to cleanse. I use acetone to prep too. I have 2 brisa lamps that are collecting dust because the 4 bulb tunnel lights that I got from star nail for $40 years ago work better! I use those lamps with axxium, IBD, NSI, Akzents and brisa. No problems! I'm not willing to spend $200 on another lamp when the one I have works just fine. And after looking for LED lights and seeing what they sell for from the chinese distributors (anywhere from $20 to $65) plus shipping there is no way I'm willing to pay 4, 5 or 6 times markup. No way. Now, if I sell gel, traditional or soak off, I'm going to want to sell my lights, but I'd rather sell my GEL! Make the lights more reasonable and I'll buy one, but I'm not going to be taken advantage of or duped into buying something because "they" say I have to!
