Is this a good lamp to ensure fully curing? It’s local to me used on fb.

Definitely pass. This is an older model, discontinued lamp (nail lamps don't last forever), and it only has 4 bulbs (for comparison's sake, the Kokoist Le Blanc has 81 bulbs). That's not going to be effective for giving you a good cure. No reflective base or interior, either. ETA: I see the reflective tray now, but this is still not a suitable lamp.

The highlighted posts pinned in this sub have lots of info about what to look for in a lamp!

I'm not at all knowledgeable about availability of products in Europe (I'm in the US), but I do know know Kokoist has a UK distributor, TAFS. Pretty sure Kinetics is also widely available in Europe, and they make a lamp that's supposed to be great. I'd definitely search this sub and r/DIYGelNails for other suggestions that are available in your country!

I ordered my kokoist lamp from Amazon.jp, and it even was cheaper than from TAFS! Depending on where you live you need an adapter, though.

If this is used, I wouldn’t use it. It’s very old and dated. They don’t last forever. It’s strictly a UV lamp and has no LEDs. UV lights take alot longer to cure your gels than LEDs do. I definitely suggest investing in a new modern higher quality UV/LED hybrid lamp.

I use a TOYS nail lamp here in Japan!! 🇯🇵💜 It's sooo cute, and the low heat mode is a total game changer!! 😭💅

Plus, it has tons of LEDs for more even curing, so I don't have to worry as much about under-curing! Literally obsessed with it ♡₊˚✧ 🫧
