To ensure your gel polish sets properly, always check that the lamp is compatible with the polish brand and type. ## Why Compatibility Matters Gel polish requires specific wavelengths of UV or LED light to set effectively. Using an incompatible lamp can result in under-set polish, which may peel or chip prematurely. ### How to Check Compatibility
- Read the Product Label: Most gel polishes specify the type of lamp required (UV, LED, or hybrid).
- Consult the Manufacturer: Visit the brand’s website or contact their customer service for detailed compatibility information.
- Test Before Use: Apply a small amount of polish and set it with your lamp to check for proper setting.
