Our gel polish system requires a top coat and a UV or LED lamp to cure or "dry". You should purchase a manicure kit or polish starter bundle before purchasing individual polish. Most users achieve successful Soy Gel manicures with their own high quality lamps but we cannot guarantee performance with every lamp. If you're not sure about your lamp or tools, we recommend purchasing a kit to ensure that you have everything you need. Still have questions? Read our FAQ or contact us.
