I cure it for 2 minutes in my Brisa lamp. It is file off... and it does not lose it's shine for anything I have found yet. It is pretty hard, but I use TT Purple Terminator file strips so it only takes a few passes to get through it before I hit acrylic. My only slight complaint would be it will yellow if you cure it too long... and it can yellow a little... I mean a LITTLE if the client tans A LOT. 99% of the time I have no problems at all.... I finish file through a 180 grit zebra file, dust with a plastic manicure brush, apply a nice thin coat to all nails. If you put on too much it will slide before it cures. :) Then I give my clients scrub and send them to wash. That is what I do... hope I helped...

Is it the normal 2 minute cure time? Does it soak off or file off? The reason I am asking is my clients like the idea of being able to take their toe polish off and not worry about messing up their nails. That is a good price and I like not having to wipe off the dispersion layer too.

It works good, isn't too horribly expensive and OPI is easy to obtain. Because of the dark bottles of UV Sealant it sorta sneaks up on me that I am almost out, and this is as easy as stopping at ANY local beauty supply. I liked YN's well enough, but it was tooooo expensive for my liking. The OPI is like $12.95 or something... I don't get any weird little bubbling and I love that it is no cleanse but still stays shiny. If I do any art, I do the art on the nail then use the sealer and it holds tight.... Just my opinion...

I have been using Super Shiney from LE and I am almost out. It's ok but I'm not totally thrilled with it. I have a sample of Young Nails finish but haven't tried it yet. Just thought I would get opinions before I order more LE and see if there is something better out there. Thanks for any help.
