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.

Does the Gelish really soak off? I had gel nails done in a salon and the gal used a metal rotating drill to remove the gels to redo them at two week and four weeks; really weakened my own nails. I'd like to try again on my own, but the removal process just seems very difficult and long.

Yes I have used many different other systems such as Red Carpet Manicure, Lechat Perfect Match,Supernail Pro Gel,IBD gel polishes,OPI Gelcolor just to name a few and all worked perfectly fine.

In my experience the gel nail polish is the best. Before I was using acrylic nails and regular nail polish as well. What a mistake! I'm using the gel nail polish for a year and my nails are growing and they are stronger. On the other hand if you want to extend the time ( three weeks or more) add an other layer. I'm doing it and it works perfect for me.

You can use any kind of nail polish. I personally use Sally hensen brand as it's none expensive. I do get to use other brands like opi and wet and wild and NYC. Believe me a I am a nail stamping addict and have a variety of nail stamping plates from different brands and they work also with any polish. I do think that if they don't work it's not the nail polish, it's the plate that might be defective.

No..most polish users have a favorite brand top and base coats, as well as a good remover, that they prefer. I keep several favorite on hand, so when I get a stubborn polish (brand or color ) I have a backup to try. I always use a base coat...it gives a smooth base for your polish and helps keep dark shades from staining your nails.

Yes, in a way. The Konad stamoing polishes I have (white and black) both work great! I've seen lots of YouTube videos where Sally Hansen is used. Sinful Colors Professional (or something like that) also worked great. Dark colors are best!

You can use almost any other brand, I bought a bunch of polishes at Walmart to complete my palette, as long as it's gel nail polish

I don't know about shellac, I have tried it with regular nail polish and it worked but I didn't get as long a wear as with the gel polish. Sorry I'm not much help.

No you have to use the LED light to cure gel products. If you have the light I know people who do use the gel top coat on regular polish I've never tried it though so I'm not sure if it works well.

The top coat works as well with other brands of polish. I used it with Sally Hansen salon all in one. CND polish did not wear well. I used Scrub fresh 1st. None lasts 7 days. I also have the entire shellac system- wears better, but terrible to remove. Vinyl lux is easy to remove.

Hi! You could use any "gel" nail polish. I've tried the Gelish and China Glaze brands from Sallys Beauty Supply and they work great!

I've seen a video on YouTube where someone uses a gold shellac gel polish with stamping and it worked. I never got it to work with the colors I have though. But these plates would work just the same as any other good quality plates. What you can do though, that I do all the time, is do a gel polish mani, but before the top coat, wipe the sticky layer and use regular polish to stamp, then wait a few minutes then apply the top coat of gel polish. :)

yes you can use top and base gelish for color gel of opi and we have DND base and top you it new but this very good thanks you visit

If I'm reading this correctly, you're applying the hard gel on top of color gel, which you're not suppose to do. This is meant to be used as a base or a builder gel.. Not like a top coat. If you were applying it on foundation gel or base coat then that would be fine. The color runs because it isn't cured long enough but it's suppose to be capped off with top coat.

I would say they are basically the same. When I've gone to a salon and gotten a "shellac" manicure , the colour options givent be consist of the Gelish brand and CND. I have only ever had Gelish and it lasts 1.5-2 weeks before I can start peeling them off. Good quality. Now I have bought the Gelish brand for home and I strongly recommend it. Good quality for a decent price
