Does it work well with IBD Gel Polish Colors and Top Coat?

As long as its uv/led it should work. I just used BMC brand and it works great! Although in the manual it suggest a cleanser, which i don't have even without it it turned out great! :-)

Yes it still works, this is pretty bad tasting but it is supposed to be. I would add a top coat as well but you can still taste it if you use it as the base coat. There is no getting this off until it wears off lol. I had to stop using it because when my fiance kissed my nails it would taste horrible (which is the point - but he hated it! :)

From what I know, the Foundation gel is the first layer used with color and top coat. The nail strengthener is a separate product and is used alone (acts as a base coat and top coat in one) or you can use regular polish and top coat on top of it.

i think so. i've used other brand gel colors with the gelish top and base coat with no issues. so doing the opposite should work also.

I've used this with a clear nail polish on top. And also with a gel top coat. And it didn't dissolve, it came out really nice. I love it.

I use gelish PH bond, foundation, color, then top coat. I've tried the gel color you can get at CVS and it does not stay on as long. Definitely buy gelish brand or higher quality than what CVS carries.

This nail polish kit seems to work best when you use all the layers. I use foundation, a natural color and top coat for hardening my natural nail. I also use the PH nail bonding polish since it seems to peel off less. It may work with just the top coat, but make sure you have the UV or LED light to cure the polish.

Yes, I used Shellac base and top coat with gelish gel polish on my natural nails. Works really good.

I use OPI colors with a different base and top coat that I already have! Just make sure you use a primer/ nail dehydrator though to make sure the polish adheres =)

It works well with any gel polish. I always use the 90 second setting, and after all coats wipe with alcohol to take away the tackiness.

It is right in between. It is not as thick as some builder gels I have seen. Nor is it as thin as a polish. Consistency is more that of a clear gel like IBD. Would work nicely for an overlay probably.

I've never tried it but my niece uses lots of different type of polishes & other gel colors over her gel base. After she applies color she finishes with the gel clear top coat & has great success.

Yes. This nail polish is amazing. It lasts so long. The top coat makes is last longer.

It's salon- quality gel polish. You have to use a gel base and top coat and a uv light

It works with all gel polishes eventually. Some polishes require more time curing. This is not a powerful lamp, but it will get the job done.

Yes. Absolutely. You may be able to use regular polish with this top coat. I did it that way once. Worked about the same.

yes...my sister and I just started using this system and she has tried shellac color with harmony base and top coat and it worked fine.
