I take about the same amount of time. I never have to wait on the light. If the light goes off in 10 sec then what is my client going to be doing for the remainder of the time? Texting, pushing her hair out of her face, scratching an itch, wiping her nose with a kleenex getting lint all over her gel. Now to do a repair I would love the 10 sec. but not worth the money for me. Angie Wingerter

I'd love your answer. I like to think of this emailing list as a little fish bowl of information. Even when I'm not replying, I'm reading all of your emails and responses. It frequently helps me with my research. I'm currently working on my next project. I can't say too much just yet, but I do have a question for each of you. LED vs UV Tony and I were getting heavily involved in LED to the point where I've designed a very special lamp. But while in London I made a startling discovery while demonstrating Soak Off UV Gel. On average, color app takes me about 15 minutes. 20 minutes tops. That isn't counting prep. I count that in the manicure service. I mean actual color app. I'm about the same as Polish. My longest cure is 2:00 (color coats). I was never waiting on the lamp. My 2 min timer would shut the lamp off just as I was finishing my last nail. So I would immediately put the hand I was working on in the lamp and take the other hand out without missing a beat. This got me thinking. If I continue on this LED thing....why does 10 seconds cure time matter? If her coat is cured, but I still take 2 minutes to apply my next layer, what good is it to be done curing in 10 seconds? It was really funny that a show attendee that I was demo'ing on was the one that enlightened me to this. I'm so busy with work stuff here, that I didn't think like a tech and observe this all on my own. I need arguments for both sides. I just am not so sure I want to continue my LED project unless it is really going to be something beneficial to all of you. Thanks to you all, in advance. Kind Regards, Elaine T.
