I do not know the answer to this question. I have always put it directly on to my nails.

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.

This is a thick, self leveling gel that can be used to build a nail tip or a hard nail like shell over a thin or split natural nail. It is not a polish or top coat. It is totally clear and requires a polish in some color to match your nails. So, it can be used with any of your nail colors, but will completely seal, cover and prevent your natural nail from getting any benefits offered by a strengthener or conditioner.

I do not use gel polish, so not sure. Would like to try the gel polish sometime. I hear that it is GREAT. What kind do you use ?

You have to use a uv light to cure the gel. You will need other things as well. First, clean the nails with a nail polish remover. Next, add a bonding agent such as Bond Aid. Then, add the base coat of uv gel and put under the light. Then add the color an put under the light and the same for the top coat. When the top coat is done, take a cotton ball with nail polish remover and wipe the top of the nails.

It is my understanding that gel polishes and shellac polishes are not the same thing, but I don't know if they can still be used interchangeably. I would assume that if you use them that way, they won't bond in the same way, and so probably won't last as long. Shellac is supposed to be better for your nails than gel though.

I only use it for gel polish and works great on the first 90 second setting. I don't think it's meant for gel nails.

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.

Yes you can use it on acrylic nails. You follow the same steps. Make sure you rough up the nail just as you would natural nails. Just make sure you don't apply it very thick. Apply 2 thin coats or 3 if necessary.

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...

I would think they will, I think nail primer is pretty much universal, and you can use any gel topcoat. I love Seche Ultra-V the best!

I haven't ever tried that before but I don't think so. There is not a fan or really much heat either. It is just the UV light. So I think it will only work with the gel polish. Good luck!

Funny you ask. I ran out of gelish base and top coat. And use a different brand I had. Turned out just as good. Just be sure to use gel products and clean nail bed well. Hope this helps.

i'm guessing it will work with any kind of gel polish as long as you are doing it right... i have been using it with the 'gelish' brand and it works just fine i think as long as you have good gel polish ( be it gelish, shelac, or opi gel polish) it should work just fine

Yes, I have Gel nails and it works great. Today my manicurist asked me to bring a bottle in for him to check out.

Yes. You can use it on natural or acrylic nails. It works great for the latest "shellac" polishes.
