As I had hoped, it works faster than their 24 watt lamp! I am really enjoying the fact that the power cord is longer. That in itself is almost worth the extra cost. I also love the sensor that turns it on when you put your hand in and turns off when you pull your hand out before the timer is up so you don't have to mess around with any buttons. The 5 second setting is so fast I worry that it is not enough time so I put my hand in for twice the length of time for the base coat. Maybe next time I will have the courage to just do the 5 seconds. I hate when things don't fully cure and then you get bleeding over into the other colors. Argh.
I used the lamp on my moms nails first and it worked about as well as the 24 watt lamp. It still did not seem to be curing the whole nail. Since I have tried a couple of different lights with her I am thinking there is something she is doing wrong.
The picture below was the result of the
48 Watt Melody Susie lamp and
SensatioNail Coral Sunset with OPI base and top coats. I only needed two coats of the color and the ends capped nicely. Over a week and still no chips and believe me I have been busy with house projects. I wasn't thrilled with the color as it was closer to pink than I was hoping though, still not a bad color.
