works well pretty design [SEP] i love the look of this lamp it almost looks like it came straight out of a salon from the but also manages to look very modern it is relatively small and does not take up too much space among my other bathroom appliances beneath the sink the plug is not very long maybe feet so wherever you do your nails you will need to be sitting near an outletmy daughter has sensitive skin and when she stuck her hand under the lamp she said it bothered her hands a little because of the heat i do not think the heat was too intense i have a fresh burn on my finger that did not feel bothered by the light so i am attributing that to her being younger and more sensitive to heat but i do think it is something to be aware ofmy fingernails were not completely dry when i pulled them out and i had to run them through twice as many cycles as the nail polish recommended but honestly i think it was due more to the nail polish i used than it was a fault of the lamps for reference it was china glaze brand gelaze the nail polish was really super runny and had a watery consistency with very thin coveragetwo days later though a record for two people who are hard on their nails my daughter and i both have zero chips in our polish i am pretty happy to have received this and think it would make a great gift or be a good purchase for those who want to save a little money from getting a professional manicurejust one last note i had to go to a beauty supply store to find a gel polish that needed a lamp it seems like many gels these days advertise no lamp needed personally i feel like those are not any better than regular polish but it is something to consider
