can I use OPI nail gel with this unit?

Yes, you can. I have different brands I use. So far, no problems. I just have to work on my technique. Getting better each time.

This, dear Hdance, I can't say since gel color is something new. But I maybe able to find out for you. All I know is that you can use it over regular polish.

I use opi Polish thinner and it seems to work just fine to thin it out as well!

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!

Yes, I used Shellac base and top coat with gelish gel polish on my natural nails. Works really good.

I found this particular unit did not work for my gel nails. Would not cure. They allowed mr to return because it maybe was a faulty light.

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, you cannot use this alone. It requires primer and top-coat to stay on, or it will just peel right off. The pH bonder can be skipped if you want to, but it does wear longer if this is used (OPI brand is BondAid). More importantly, these products all require the use of either a UV or LED lamp to cure, followed by cleasing with rubbing alcohol. If you're thinking of trying this, I strongly recommend either getting a shellac/"no chip" manicure in a salon or watching a few you tube videos on the process first. It definitely takes some practice and good application technique.

I'm not sure, Ill check and get back to you. I will say that for the price, I found this to be very ineffective. It took to long to cure the OPI Gel. Ill have to look on the box. I didn't like it so I stored it away.

Iwasn't sure so I looked on the website of the company that produces the gel and they state that indeed it can be used with a TENs unit. I hope this helped!

My apology, I don't check this e-mail often. However, the OPI Axxium gel does not cure very well. I purchased the gel and the light and it seemed to take 30 min for each hand. The gel is so thick and gummy until you have to cure the gel two times on each hand. I would not recommend the OPI Gel or the Light. Honestly, I would invest in CND gel and curing light. CND works 1000 times better then OPI. Just my opinion as a nail tech.

I use it with the gel polish, is the gel nails like an extension to your nail?

Yes you use nail tips with acrylic powder and liquid monomer or uv builder gel to create or build your nail.

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
