First Look: Young Nails LED Light Lamp

My review of the Young Nails lamp.  LED is the future for nail pros.  Although this system is for maniQ and maniQ colors, the lamp will work with products that contain LED photoinitiators. 

Pros: An LED has three advantages: no UV controversy, cost effectiveness and speed.  This Young Nails model is also incredibly compact with a pleasant design.

Cons: 4 finger then 1 thumb, 1 thumb cure.  Updated to add: The finger placement continues to be a bit of an issue in a salon environment.  Other techs have also experienced that clients have difficulty consistently getting the fingers at the right angles.  This may or may not annoy your clientele and, if not properly cured, will created lifted corners or other issues related to improper cure.  LED is great, my opinion is this lamp requires a bit of precision that doesn’t always take place on the client end during services.  It may be worth looking into a full hand lamp that has more internal lighting elsewhere.
