can you use any polish or any brand gel polish ?

I got this for my daughter for Christmas. Yes I think you would be able to use any gel polish with it.

Yes you can use any brand gel polish. I bought a sally Hansen brand Polish from target and it worked just fine. Also I would buy a different nail dehydrator/primer because the one included in this kit sucks! The polish always lifts after 4 days!

Well my wife uses it but as far I noticed it's just the up light that does the work on the dry up and she has tried.regular nail polish and different gel as well.

You can, but know that because the regular polish does not contain the UV protector that the gel polish does, your regular polish will become darker than what you expect the color to be.

I don't see why not... I have used it on gel and regular polish... There is nothing stating you can't on the bottle...

Well when i was first doing gel on myself I was using a different brand and I had to redo my nails every week to two weeks that that product I bought from the store, I guess the gelish product could be old I don't know for a fact that it's brand new but can go twice as long between doing my nails so I would just base it on that I buy colors from any brand but I'll only use gelish top and base coat

Yes, if you are using regular nail polish with gel top coat, it still works great! Only recommendation is to let the regular nail polish dry COMPLETELY before adding the gel top coat. If you don't, the regular nail polish will begin to wrinkle.

As long as it's a opi brand you can try it might work I've done it everyone's experience is different but on safe side use soak off polish

Any gel polish works great! I haven't used Shellac polish at all...I used Gelish, Finger Paints gel polish as well as gel polishes sold at Wal-Mart. And I use fingerpaints bonder, base and top coat but any brand base and top would work

It doesn't matter so much what brand you use, as long as its a thicker polish. If you want to use a thinner one you should thicken it up a bit with eyeshadow (add a shimmer!) or cornstarch first. The Konad ones are the best consistency for stamping already though .

To my knowledge you have to use a base and top coat as they are part of a "system" for curing the gel polish. I use Gelish base and top coats with many different brands of gel polish colors and it works great.

I wouldn't recommend it - the best thing I have bought that removes gel polish is pure acetone and I just buy it at our local Walgreens - I think it runs around $5

Any gel polish - I usually use Gelish or OPI. Just be sure to get the base coat and top coat. I also use the pre-base coat polish that I think is intended to dry your nails and make them ready for the other layers of polish.

Hi Shannon,Yes you can use this light with Shellac. Shellac and Gel are similar products. They both look beautiful like polish but last for several weeks without chipping or smudging. Your nails will look freshly painted all the time. Shellac is a brand name from CND. I do not know why it cost more, maybe research and development... Gel lasts a little longer but both are great products. Both need to be soaked off to remove. Good luck....Happy Holidays...Alex

I only use other brands of color with this. The color that comes with this kit didnt work for me. I tryed a few times but that could just be me. I really like the kit. I just purchased polish elsewhere.

I use opi gel polish that I bought through amazon. It works just like at the salon.

I have never used that brand of gel polish, but I have used Gelish, Sensationail, and some other brands. This LED lamp has successfully cured all of the brands that I used. Hope that helps you.

I can't say that I'm 100% positive, but I believe you have to use with a gel polish. The gel process involves "curing" with a UV light between coats, so I believe you would need to use a gel color and not a regular polish. I have done so by accident before and the polish started "lifting" soon after when I used a regular polish. When I've used all gel polishes, my manicure and pedicure have lasted about 2 weeks.
