I would love a 10 second cure time. I often finish my gel application on the second hand and then have to wait for the lamp. This would really help for the occasional one nail repair and it would greatly speed up my time when I do my own nails! My clients do not mess up their nails between coats more than one time. I show them what they have done and explain why it is a problem and they do not do it again. My clients get the gels because they do not have to wait for their polish to dry. If they mess it up, it will take longer, so they do not mess their nails up because they want out and on their way faster. I do not have a problem with clients messing up their nails, maybe I'm just the nail nazi and my clients are afraid to mess up their nails.

Angie hit the nail (haha) right on the head, they will just goof up our work, the UV is still the best for me..

If the light goes off in 10 sec then what is my client going to be doing for the remainder of the time? Texting, pushing her hair out of her face, scratching an itch, wiping her nose with a kleenex getting lint all over her gel. Now to do a repair I would love the 10 sec. but not worth the money for me.

I like to think of this emailing list as a little fish bowl of information. Even when I'm not replying, I'm reading all of your emails and responses. It frequently helps me with my research. I'm currently working on my next project. I can't say too much just yet, but I do have a question for each of you. LED vs UV Tony and I were getting heavily involved in LED to the point where I've designed a very special lamp. But while in London I made a startling discovery while demonstrating Soak Off UV Gel. On average, color app takes me about 15 minutes. 20 minutes tops. That isn't counting prep. I count that in the manicure service. I mean actual color app. I'm about the same as Polish. My longest cure is 2:00 (color coats). I was never waiting on the lamp. My 2 min timer would shut the lamp off just as I was finishing my last nail. So I would immediately put the hand I was working on in the lamp and take the other hand out without missing a beat. This got me thinking. If I continue on this LED thing....why does 10 seconds cure time matter? If her coat is cured, but I still take 2 minutes to apply my next layer, what good is it to be done curing in 10 seconds? It was really funny that a show attendee that I was demo'ing on was the one that enlightened me to this. I'm so busy with work stuff here, that I didn't think like a tech and observe this all on my own. I need arguments for both sides. I just am not so sure I want to continue my LED project unless it is really going to be something beneficial to all of you. Thanks to you all, in advance. Kind Regards, Elaine T.
