      Why do you need to use the CND™ LED Lamp with CND™ products?
      There is a reason as to why it is always a must for you to use the CND™ Lamp with all CND™ products. What determines the amount of photo initiators a product have and the output of the lamp. 

      High levels of photoinitiators allow for lower output lamp but they are also the same ingredients that would instigate allergic reactions. Unfortunately, there are many of those products in the market, as it is also cheaper to produce lamp with low output and products with a lot of photoinitiators.

      With CND™ quality and product safety comes first. That is why all CND™ product lines that need curing will be with a low level of photoinitiators to make sure the nails are safe from allergic reactions and the CND™ LED Lamp has a high output to compensate for that. All CND™ lines such as SHELLAC™, PLEXIGEL™, Brisa™ and others are also formulated to be cured in the CND™ LED Lamp, as things such as diodes distance, distance to the nails and position is optimal for curing a nail surface from all sides. 

       

      How to properly use the CND™ LED Lamp?
      The CND™ LED Lamp features alignment guides for proper hand/foot placement.  You will find the small indentation on both sides of the lamp for curing of either hand. Correct placement of the thumb ensures that the entire hand is placed properly in the “cure zone”. 

      The first seconds of light are crucial to the final curing of the product. Therefore, you must NOT press the button until the hand is laying still and placed correctly in the lamp.
