I did the same thing Shannon! I tried a hair dryer first and wow, that was not fun! LOL! I just bought the minx lamp and it did make a world of difference! Like you, I didn't want to spend that much money so I had my hubby go out and try to find a similar one. He came home with a bulb no lamp! Apparently they are similar to ones you find in pet stores for lizards? Not sure if that helps or not?
I did a set of Minx toes last night with the new lamp and it did go far easier but I struggle with filing the excess off the free edge. Even with their glass file, I find I'm tearing the minx and it shows! If anyone knows any tricks that would be helpful, I would greatly appreciate it! Good luck on your search Shannon!

I will look into that :) Shannon K. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sheryl Goldberg To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 10:58 AM Subject: NailTech:: Re: minx lamp Shannon, I do not know about Minx but most Halogen Bulbs throw a great deal of heat. I have one on my desk I use to “Cook” the top coat on Mani’s. Everyone Loves it because it get’s them out the door with no smudges. If you need more heat you could get a Halogen with Hi/Lo setting like mine. I think my Hubby got mine at Office Depot. It’s not pretty but it does a great job. If you get too close it gets too hot! Check it out.

I got my order and tried to use blow dryer (which I would REALLY not recommend) My question is what heat lamp does everyone use? The Minx lamp is just a little out of my price range especially since I am going to classes and saving for workshops. Any recommendations or should I just bite the bullet and buy the Minx lamp?
