Best nails lamp set for own CND shellac etc

Hi I’d really like to have my nails always ‘done’ but struggling with time to get there especially when they need redoing having chipped, so would like a decent lamp set to do it at home
Are there any pros lurking who would link to a good one rather than just an amazon random trial?

I’m CND trained and always recommend you go to a professional to avoid long term problems. If you really must do them yourself I wouldn’t recommend cheap/eBay/Chinese lamps as they can give uneven coverage and maybe dangerous. Same goes for the gels. Gelish and lamps are available from sally beauty and IMO are very good. The initial outlay is expensive but worth it.

@WingingWonder I bought a CND shellac starter kit from the Jealous Nails website. It was about £250 a year ago so I'm not sure how much a similar one would be now, but it had everything I needed to get started (proper CND Brisa lamp, the lotions and potions, four bottles of shellac, base coat and top coat etc.)

As an experiment I once tried Blue Sky (cheap versions of CND!) and they lasted well but were ridiculously hard to get off.

I just had a look and something like this would be good value:

You don't get the CND branded lamp but I think the one that come with it is pretty decent.
