While some at-home gel kits can cost upwards of £60, the £8.29 <a style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank" class="class" rel="nofollow" website Violets Store LED Nail Lamp is a budget friendly option. 

A brilliant choice for beginners, the curing LED lamp allows you to create fun nail looks from home thanks to its well thought out, easy to follow features. 

Even better, the compact nail lamp can cure (meaning it fully dries) all types of UV/LED nail gel polish brands, including CND Shellac, OPI, Gelish and Sally Hansen.  

The <a style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank" class="class" rel="nofollow" website nail lamp's simple design features makes this a winner for beginners. No frills and no fuss, it takes the complication out of the process with just two timer settings for 30-second and 60-second cures. 

It even has an automatic-sensing mode, so all you have to do is put your hand under the light and let the lamp do the rest. 

While some shoppers have said the Lavender LED lamp takes longer to cure than some competitors, others argue it more than does the job – even going as far as to call it ‘absolutely brilliant’ and ‘good quality for the price’.   

Lightweight and compact, the nail lamp can also be powered through your computer, power bank and mobile phone charger, so you can take it anywhere

One shopper penned: ‘I’m new to gel nails and this was a perfect start off lamp.

It does what it says. It is small but luckily I have small hands so not an issue getting all my sang tiem nails in. Ideal for newbie gelist or as a travel lamp. Definitely recommend.’

Another reviewer shared their delight with the results.
They wrote: ‘I’ve only used this once since buying it, but it worked brilliantly! 

‘I was recommended this by my friend who bought it during lockdown (she’s used it numerous times), and although it’s one of the cheapest out there, it does the job perfectly!

Don’t waste your money on anything more expensive if you’re just starting out to do your own nails.’

A third added: ‘Great and easy for the price. Really easy to use and effective – great as a cheap way to keep my sang tiem nails in tact whilst the salons are closed.’

While the <a style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank" class="class" rel="nofollow" website Violets Store Nail Lamp is smaller than other UV/LED kits, the compact size has largely been a bonus for many shoppers, with reviewers claiming it’s more convenient to store.
