The lamp is 100% nessecary- won't work without it!
I started out with a cheaper UV light from eBay- then once I was sure I could apply it to my standards- I upgraded to a LED light.

I buy only shellac or gelish colours- usually from eBay- imported from O/S.
They are about $22 per bottle.
Anything cheaper is not genuine.

Shellac is a little bit harder to apply than normal nail polish- it needs to go on the nail quite thin and away from the cuticle.
Practice makes perfect!
There are loads of YouTube videos to watch and learn.

Beware there are a lot of cheap immitation type UV systems out there.

I have tried a few of the cheaper brands- blu sky, lumi nail etc....
They don't measure up.
