Does this peel off nicely? I usually use CND shellac and love that I can peel it right off with no nail damage

It doesn't. It still takes a light layer off your nails enamel even if you peel it perfectly. You need to soak them. You could try ibd it peels off pretty easily but it only last about a week. I guess you've gotta pick your poison. Sorry boo.

No. You MUST soak this gel product off. That said, this brand soaks off quickly. Put a cotton ball with temover on a piece of foil and wrap each nail. Follow package directions.

Yes! I'm under the impression that it doesn't work that way for those who apply the polish well. But after two to three weeks, mine peel off nicely.

I think so. With my nails the polish stays for a couple weeks, before it grows out. It was a little easy to peel some of it.but only from the base.

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.

In my experience you can do a touch up but you can end up with a crease where you have done the touch up. I think it best to remove the shellac and reapply.

To be honest, if you don't do it just right and it doesn't adhere well, you'll end up peeling the polish right off. I'm a peeler, and I can't help myself when it starts to come up at the ends. :)

Yes! It's clear! I actually use it over normal non-gel nail color and then put it under the lamp and I get about 1.5 weeks of wear out of the polish and it soaks off in about 3 minutes. That's WAY faster than removing gel nail color PLUS gel topcoat, and less damaging to the nail itself. (I've even gotten a solid 2 weeks without chipping...same as normal gel through and through....so it's just a thought!)

Yes and no. If you're using shellac you can do your top coat, set it, then apply your foil. But it won't cover the whole nail this way. You'll get a crackle effect. If you aren't using shellac and want the whole nail covered, then yes you need glue.

Well, I have terrible nails to start with. I has been using the gel polish and it works good but it takes so long to do them and even longer to take it off. So I ordered the CND Vinylux base, color and top coat to try. It does stay on much longer than anything I have tried before. On my better nails it probably lasted close to a week before it started to chip any. If you have good nails it will probably work good for us. Hope this helps.

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

I put the polish on let it dry, then put a little dab on where I want to put the jewel on and press down. I am very armature when it comes to nails and nail art, so I am sure there is a better way to do this. They sometimes stay on great and other times fall off fast.

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.

You use acetone but you soak your nails in it (either using the foil method or soaking them directly in a bowl of acetone) for 15 minutes. The polish softens and becomes brittle. You simply scrape it off with something but I highly recommend their polish removal tool because it's shaped correctly for the nail and has a sharp edge to get the product off without damaging the nail. DO NOT NOT !NOT! peel the polish off without using acetone. My first time removing the polish, I got the polish to lift and then peeled the nails off and severely damaged two of my nails to where they were painful and sensitive and are still growing out a month later. You can find a video on Youtube of their recommended removal process. It's not bad but it does take time and patience.

Hi Shannon, Yes you can use this light with Shellac. Shellac and Gel are similar products. They both look beautiful like polish but last for several weeks without chipping or smudging. Your nails will look freshly painted all the time. Shellac is a brand name from CND. I do not know why it cost more, maybe research and development... Gel lasts a little longer but both are great products. Both need to be soaked off to remove. Good luck....Happy Holidays...Alex

I haven't used them on the Shellac or LED nails. What I usually do is use regular nail polish on top of my no chip with the nail tape to create a design because I don't think once you cure it that the nail tape will come off unless you are leaving the nail tape on for a design then it will work. But I just use seche vite top coat an regular polish to create a design on top of LED polishes. Feel free to ask any more questions I am happy to answer and I hope this helps!

It does not come off easily and before you can even try to get it off you need to file off the gel layer on the top. The only way I am able to get it off is to put acetone on a cotton ball and wrap my nail in foil for a good 5-10 minutes (longer is better) and then after that, it will scrape off. It does not just rub off like normal nail polish but properly applied, it does wear much longer and is therefore worth the extra effort.the remover MUST be straight acetone.

As far as I know, only CND UV will work for shellac. Though some claim to use LED and say it works fine, others say the shellac really doesn't cure properly. Perhaps contacting the company would give you a more definitive answer.

hey there.. i don't know for sure the answer to that question... but it takes a while for the nail to grow back in a normal healthy way.. and if you do wear nail polish, make sure you take it off soon to reapply if needed.. seems like you have to be diligent with the treatment, or it doesn't work as well.. it does work great though.. i can't wait to leave canada to the states where i can buy it again. the supply seems to last a long time. hope that helps
