I personally have not put this over my polish. It's a treatment for your nail so I think it would be redundant if you are using it over your polish. What I do is if your still repairing your nails then just do the treatment for one week and use it as a base coat next week. Hope that helps �

yes I have and I think the instructions say to recoat every couple of days when your trying to grow out difficult nails, which I did and it is perfectly fine, however I have now switched to the quick dry top coat and I repeat that 1 or 2x during the week

Yes, you can use as a basecoat and then a topcoat and reapply every other day, leaving the color on.

It is best in my opinion to apply directly to the nail for maximum effect and strong nails.

Yup! I've been using for almost 6 months and I just noticed that my nails are peeling again and I have to apply it (whole nail for me) twice a week. But I haven't noticed them getting any less "hard" or strong.

I think you should use the base and the top coat to make it last longer. I use two base, two to three nail color depending on color coverage and two top coats. It doesn't chip or peel as easy so last longer.

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.

To be honest, I was not impressed with this brand, the polish can last 2 weeks if you do not wash your hands that much. The polish does not damage the integrity of your nails, the process of removing the polish damages your nails because you have to soak it off with pure acetone and then scrape the excess off with a sharp metal object. Also, I notice the polish did not form completely over the nail, there would be an empty space by your cuticle and on the tip of the nail inspite of you painting the whole nail. Hope that helps.

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.

I believe my nails are harder and healthier. The first week, apply to clear nails -then every day put another coat on top of prior coat/s. I always put this on my nails before polishing them.

I don't, it drys at the same speed as regular nail polish. I have natural nails and this lasts 14 days. I only need to redo my nails when the polish grows away from the nail bed. This makes my nails harder, no peeling, chipping, or anything. I swear by it.

I have only tried it once on regular polish, it seemed to help. I need more time to use it.

Julie, I have not tried it over polish just bare acrylic nails. I have seen it used over polish but I know nothing of how it lasted or if it peeled off like other top coats similar to this one,

I added a few drops of 100% acetone nail polish remover and let it mix overnight. It worked perfectly great! The technique works equally well to thin out regular nail polish, but it must be 100% acetone. The other stuff, won't work.

I believe the instructions indicate applying a coat every day for up to X days. If you use it with a polish at some point, it's applied as a top coat daily. It makes for a horrible base coat though.

It will take a while. I started out on a Sunday with two coats. Everyother day I put another coat on. On the next Sunday, I took everything off and started all over again. This is the only product that has worked for me. I do a lot of gardening and OPI protects my nails, along with me wearing gloves. Good Luck

It glows for atleast 2 weeks from what I have found. I don't see where it glows the color of the polish, it just seems to be a glow in the dark but the colors do add a little hint of color to your nails but not when it glows.

I've never tried it, but don't know why you would want to. If you use it on the bare nail everything layered on top will stay. I could never keep nail polish on my fingernails until I found it. Now my polish lasts all week.

I'm not a nail polish wearer because it damages my nails. However, I don't think you can wear polish and receive the full benefit of this product as you apply it to the bed or base of your nail. If you can go without polish for a while, I know you will see a positive difference in your nails...it works!!

This depends entirely on your goals and level of wear-and-tear. I applied two coats at a time (it dries very quickly), or one coat over the top of a colored polish. Working at a desk job, I only had to repaint every week. More intensive household cleaning sometimes meant I needed to re-apply once or twice a week. Realistically, if you have the time or can remember to do so, you could probably paint your nails every day, one coat with each application. In other words, apply whenever you please.
