I highly recommend this item if you do gel nails at home.” A: It is recommended to finish filing the nail with a 180 grit file and higher, or an e-file with a medium course bit can also be used. Cons: Small size isn't ideal for toes or long fingers, time setting isn't adjustable, only one option, no base coat or nail polish, 30-minute wait before cure, very time-consuming
