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 50s, but also manages to look very modern.  It's relatively small and doesn't take up too much space among my other bathroom appliances beneath the sink.  The plug isn't very long, maybe 4 feet, so wherever you do your nails you will need to be sitting near an outlet.<br /><br />My 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 don't think the heat was too intense.  I have a fresh burn on my finger that didn't feel bothered by the light so I'm attributing that to her being younger and more sensitive to heat, but I do think it's something to be aware of.<br /><br />My fingernails weren't 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 coverage.<br /><br />Two 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'm 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 manicure.<br /><br />Just 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 aren't any better than regular polish, but it's something to consider.
