I cured Shellac no problem in my Eco 36 watt lamp. In fact, being the smart educator I need to be requires that I play with my competitions products. I have cured (myself) shellac, gelish, Light Elegance, Axxium to name a few. My same 36 watt lamp that is under my desk at all times.
:) I am confident that there was a proper cure due to the fact that the wear results were as expected. Also FYI...you don't need "air movement" to dry polish. Heat is actually a better option. The way that polish dries is through evaporation. The solvents in the polish evaporate as the polish cures. Yes a fan will help that....but honestly, the heat from any UV lamp will also do the same without the air movement. Just an FYI tidbit on polishes... Kind Regards, Elaine T.
