The product description states, some clear polishes are not compatible and will eat through to foil. Can you recommend one to use?

I find that O.P.I or sally hansen top coat; after research a slow drying top coat, and under coat will help protect the foil, and it lets the foil last longer on the nail making sure to paint the edge of the tip of the nail to prevent it from pealing up

I don't know to be honest with you. I just used OPI nail polish and kleancolor nail polish. Both worked well for me. These plates wipe clean easily. And I get the perfect design that I want everytime I use them.

Any gel polish works great! I haven't used Shellac polish at all...I used Gelish, Finger Paints gel polish as well as gel polishes sold at Wal-Mart. And I use fingerpaints bonder, base and top coat but any brand base and top would work

Only opaque polish will work. You just have to experiment. I have found Sh insta dri will work. There are also special stamping polishes. The thicker and more opaque the polish is, the better!

I don't know- tried the "plus" and had no result - finally remove all polish and suffered through 1 month of ugly nails - treated them daily with the protein oil from Nailtique and now they look again presentable though still a little weak - there is no miracle solution they just need a polish "vacation" - good luck!

I do not have the particular polish you are inquiring about, but the OPI original polish remover works well on all the polishes I do have. It is gentle to your nails, but very effective in getting the polish off them.

I have not used clear, but have used other polishes such as Revlon and Essential with no problem.

I use Shellac topcoat because I only use it when I do a shellac or gel manicure. Otherwise use the adhesive they sell for the foil. I think its called foil adhesive. I hope that hrlps

Yes. Account owner's wife here. Most of my polishes are Zoya. It will take longer to remove the polish, regardless of what brand it is, but it does the job.

I can't confirm that as I used it with a gel overlay. I purchased it to limit polish chipping and it certainly works for that.

yes dear . HOW TO USE FOILS? 1) Prepare your nail bed by shaping, pushing cuticles back and removing all oils (do this using professional nail prep eg scrub fresh or nail polish remover. 2) Apply a thin, even coat of nail foil adhesive to each finger. Wait for it to turn from white to clear and is just tacky to the touch. This can take up to 10 minutes! (Necessary) 3) Press foil shiny side up, onto the nail bed and rub over using your finger, or for a better more precise application, use a rubber hoof stick. (for best results cut a piece of foil of the length just big enough for the nail, its easier to control and apply flat) 4) Remove the foil and the foil pattern should be stuch to your nail. If a bit is missing due to lack of foil adhesive, just reapply the adhesive to the part not taken and repeat. 5) Once completely dry, apply a coat of sealer/top coat to protect the foil. If the adhesive is not completely dry before applying the top coat, the foil will rub off. Warm Tips: 1, Just remember if it doesn't work first time, Try again! It's all about the timing of applying the foil to the adhesive at the right time. 2, Foils can take a while to get right, but once you do get the hang of it, you can create lots amazing Nail DESIGNS! PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO LIGHTING EFFECT AND COMPUTER COLOR, THE ACTUAL COLORS MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM THE PICTURE

I had no problem using it with regular polish on acrylics. I have Question? What do you use to remove your acrylics?

I haven't had any troubles with the nail polish. Maybe you should use a clear top and bottom coat??? I don't know &#128542;. Sorry.

I had no luck with it. I have read several other post that say to file the stamper and use a thick polish. I haven't tried it yet though.

My understanding is that YES you can use regular polish; however, I have not tried it out. Regular polish behaves differently, doesn't last as long so I stick with gelish polishes so that I can go two weeks at a time!

I use the pure acetone and put it on a cotton ball then wrap the tip of my finger with tin foil and let it do its thing for about 15-20 minutes then use an orange stick to scrap off the polish it should crackle up when you take the foil off, make sure that you take a buffing block to rough up the top surface of the polish so that the acetone will work. DONT use an emery board type file you may get carried away with filing and damage your nail bed. The buffing blocks sold at Sally supply or any drug store works great just rough enough to take of the top coat off. DONT get anything to abrasive or like I said you may damage your nail bed and believe me that is quite painful! I am assuming this is your first go at the gel polishes? Did you have them done or are you thinking about doing them yourself either way I'm sure you know the steps to applying the polish and really taking the polish off is no big deal just a little time consuming because you can only work on one hand at a time. I hope I helped answer your question if you have any more I would be happy to help.

I've used it with other polishes. I have some bottles of Essie that I've used it with.
