I still don't really get how one tunnel lamp is different from another. Science is hard.

If you mix them it messes up the balance of photo initiators and pigment. The layering works because the color is cured in it's own layer with the photo initiators and pigment in balance and then the next color is cured in it's own layer etc. b) the CND lamp is different from other lamps because it has a higher UV output, there are low amounts of photo initiators in Brisa and Shellac to keep them from easily over curing and becoming aged, yellow, and brittle on the nail. If you use another lamp the UV output may be sufficient to make the product appear cured but can lead to issues like service breakdown and over exposure. Holly L.

Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 16:58:28 -0400 Subject: NailTech:: another shellac question From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I just got off the phone with Candace at CND and she said she can't list me on the salon finder if I'm not going to use their lamp. Gah! I'm not spending another $100 if I don't have to. She wasn't really able to explain to me, to my satisfaction, why a) the colors can be layered but not mixed and b)why the CND lamp is any different than any other gel lamp.
