my nails are soft can this polish be used with nail tips

When I did my research before my Gelish purchase, info about using tips and Gelish is as follows- because its a soft gel system it is not meant to be used with tips. However, some girls used it with tips and Structure gel, but for a special occasion, night out etc. Meaning for just a short period of time. If you are asking can you use Gelish over your hard gel set just as colors and art- you can. Gelish does provide more hardness and it helps the nail growth without damage so this would be a good option if you want to grow your nails out, but you couldnt due to their softness. Hope this helps.

Yes. I traditionally use gels and I have thin brittle nails. Make sure you cure them (UV) for at least 2 min, maybe 3 for dark colors. I always use a gel top coat, IBD clear builder gel is a great top coat that makes my manicures last for 3 weeks. If you have tips and have already had acrylic applied over the nail & tips as is common with salons, then gel color can be out right on the acrylic. If you only glued on the nail tips then you need to use a builder gel or structure gel before you put the color gel on.

No, because can not sticking on tips, just only on natural oil free nails, otherwise the polish will cockle.

You can use any of the gel polishes. I use the Gelish system and have great results.

I use it on natural nails but usually over the vinylux polish. I'm sure it would work equally well on other polish.

It has worked on glitter polish for me but I wouldn't recommend on the whole nail. The tip of the pens gets used up pretty quickly and then doesn't work as well. The smaller the area the longer the tip will last

No, you can either use a regular nail polish or you can get whats called the best glue ever or something like that, I see professional nail artists use that.

You can use nail polish thinner or clear coat nail polish. I got the idea from YouTube http://youtu.be/qzjhhTA--jw

Hi Julia, These are only what they consider "Tips". So they are really to just be used down by the end of your nail. Then the rest is to be filled in a then built up with acrylic, like in a nail salon. I personally just like to wear them like you are talking about. I just round it to match up against my cuticle and use nail glue to secure. I do use super glue if i run out but find that i often use way too much of either one and it tends to turn the fake nails really soft. By the time the fake nail has grown out away from your cuticle is about when the glue starts to loose it's strength so they pop off easy & i give my nails a day or two to "Breathe" and do it all over again. The glue lasts best if you lightly rough up your own nails with a file (it gives more for the glue to hold on to" and clean WELL with good soap & water. I have done this for several years with great results & DON'T have to spend money i don't have on nail oil removers and high class false nails and such. These were the BEST deal for what you & i are looking for! Just make sure you buy from a seller with a good low price! Most good deals are out of China so takes a couple of weeks to arrive. Good luck & hope i helped!

Yes. I have used the dotting tools with conventional nail polish. The secret is waiting til the base color is dry before using the dotting tool.

According to the description it can be used with "metal connector nails". The problem is there are no metal connector nails available so the metal connector tip is useless. I was very disappoint with the nailer after finding out Bostitch did not provide support by supplying nails it said the nailer could use.

Yes it should work with any polish just use a top coat to seal and it will come off when the polish you chose does

After you remove all your polish just brush it on your whole nail and cuticles (I do it all at once) l let it soak in while u go one finger at a time and then just massage it into them and my fingers too! It hydrates and keeps nails flexible and keeps your cuticles soft! Great product (also, I just do it before I polish and mine last almost 2 weeks...if your cuticles get dry from the polish or top coat...do it again. after regular use, u don't need to do it often) Do Not push cuticles back...it makes them tough...when u have this on u can gently get them away from your nail. :)

It works with regular polish, so my opinion is that it will work with gel polish. Just make sure to apply it in the gap between the polish and the proximal nail fold of the eponychium at the base of the nail. I don't apply it on top my nail polish. If you will consistently apply it twice a day as directed, I think you will be very pleased in a few months. Be patient, because it is worth it.

Nope. That is the direction only for when you wanna use it as base coat. It is true that the nail tek foundation is good for base coat because it make the surface of nails matt. But You don't have to use polish. It depends on what you wanna do with this.

I think so i am not a professional but once in wile still go for the hand message etc polish noticed the girls are using other than opi base and top coat along with opi polish stayed on great !!all will feel a little tacky at end even after cure until you wipe with alcohol don't forget go easy on polish and top and bottom coat so doesn't get the too thick look ,Happy pretty nails :-)

No I do not polish my nails first. Take off whet ever old polish you may have on your nails and start fresh. I polish my nail after I apply the tips. I like to use Essie brand polish. Color "sugar daddy or grow stonger" They have a little bit of a pink flesh hue. It makes my nails look more like a profesional manicure. Then a clear top coat. I love this product.

i havnt used it myself, but i apply the 3rd layer of the other nail thickener which has slightly white colour and nails look good (so i have 1st protective layer of any thickener u have, then quimica as a second, and the 3rd is one more thickener which has a bit of colour). I think u can do it just make sure u have a layer between quimica and colourful nail polish. P.s. My nails are getting really strong. Never had such nails before even being 15 y.o. and its not even 2 weeks yet.

Make sure and use Bostitch brand nails with it, and it works great. Adjustable nail depth is very consistent.
