Does soaking on daily basis messes up color / laquer on toe nails?

I have used it with and without color. I did not notice any changes in the nail polish, but I felt it was more effective without polish in treating nail fungus.

Advised by my Podiatrist to stop using nail color/lacquer due to nail problems. Cannot imagine daily soak would take polish off (especially the newer formulations designed to last a long time), but it might cause it to chip sooner.

Yes I have used polish on them. It does dry like it does on a regular nail.

I use 70% Isopropyl Alcohol from the drugstore and it works perfectly for me. The point is to make sure the nails are free of any soap residue, etc. DO remember to swipe your nails with a cotton ball soaked in acetone nail polish remover AFTER applying the base and top coats and drying with the light treatment dryer. Just using the light treatment alone will absolutely not dry my nails. I use the base coat first; dry with the light treatment for 90 seconds; immediately follow with the top coat and dry for another 90 seconds with the light treatment; and then briskly swipe each nail several times with the acetone cotton ball and it hardens immediately. I know it sounds odd but it absolutely works for me and nothing else does! Good luck!

No--I just apply it before bedtime and remove the softened nail after swimming in the morning. Then apply an antifungal cream.wbd MD

When I used it, I just applied a layer over the toenails of a cleaned foot. Give it a few minutes to dry, then you can put your socks on.I do not use it anymore and changed to plain vinegar per my podiatrist recommendation. It is a year long process, and you need to hang in there. Quick fixes if advertised are clearly bogus...would not happen.

I never noticed this happening, and I wear contacts. To be safe, I wouldn't handle my contacts immediately after applying this polish- wait until your nails have been dry a little while.

Yes, I always use regular colored polish. It dries just the same as natural nails.

No. I put it on as base coat, used color polish and then used it as top coat. My nails at first did great first month. Over time they deteriorated. No change in diet or stress in my life. This happened to a few other friends too. So, just sharing that something is off with this product after longer term use. Also I removed this polish once a week and re-applied while using it.

The treatment has an oil base to it and I would not think that polish would stay on. I would remove polish at night for the treatment and when ever I could not wear polish till the toe was healed.

if your nail polish isn't old try applying a thin coat 1st. I usually do 3-4 coats. if I do a think coat it always looks like they were touched before they dried. I'm not a big fan of these nails. I will use them bc I already bought them but I wont be buying any more.

That does not happen with my nails, because I use light-colored polish. When cleaning nails for those who prefer darker colors, I simply use more than one pad (example: one pad per hand or per foot generally suffices). Good question. I hope my answer is helpful.

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 :-)

you are supposed to put just on the tips of nails for 6 days and then on the entire nail for a week and if you have NORMAL nails it apparently is supposed to make them much stronger and grow longer. Since it is colorless - you just wait for it to dry and it will not wash off. Due to other health problems of mine - it did not help - but several friends thought it was fantastic.

You don't need to soak off. They peel off so easily because the gel doesn't stick to the nail at all, after a day you can easily peel them off.

I have kept my nails free of polish so I could file as directed and scrubbed them with a nail brush while showering. Personally, I think product would work better on bare nails.

Make sure you are using a light coat. It comes out pretty thick so brush the brush off on the bottle. The thicker the coat the more your nails will chip. I paint my nails about every 3 days anyway, but this is the first top coat I have gotten to allow me to keep my fingers painted for more then 3 days if I wanted to keep them the same color without chipping. I know the frustration and of course not everything works for everyone, but the lighter the coat the better

Not very likely to have any effect on toe nail fungus....Try something with Terbinafine in it which sometimes works. Really none of the over the counter stuff is recommended for toe nail fungus...
