I have been getting into gel nails since my friend turned me on to them this last summer. I have since tried two lights: USpicy 18 Watt and Melody Susie 24 Watt LED lights for curing Gelish and OPI brand gel polishes. The USpicy was nice as it would turn on automatically when you put your hand in and you could see how much time was left. I shortly returned it and got the Melody Susie light since I wanted to try something that was a little more powerful and not much more money. It was nice as it was a little more powerful = took less time to cure gel polish. In doing my mother's nails regularly though, I realized I wasn't getting the results I wanted with this lamp. I don't know if it was lack of internal reflection or if my mother's hands were too arthritic to place in there appropriately. Just recently, I ordered off the Melody Susie website directly for the Melody Susie 48 Watt to see if it works better for my mother's nails. The order was placed 1/19 and, being the frugal person that I am, I opted for free shipping. The light arrived with much anticipation on 1/25, which was quick to me for not having to pay a dime for shipping.
Needless to say, I am very excited to try it on her.
The various pros I have read about and seen coming out of the box:
*even more power, 48 Watts, for a decent price ($119 direct from their website or from Amazon)
*sensor that kicks it on for when you set your hand in AND turns it off when you take your hand out before the time is done!!!
*very reflective interior
*removable base plate
*timer that lets you know how much time is left incase you get antsy
*much longer/more forgiving cord than the Melody Susie 24 Watt light
An important thing to consider: when I was purchasing the light I signed up to be a member. This resulted in a $6 discount. :-)
