If I use over regular polish, wait 24 hours etc, and it works; How do I then take it off? Will it come off with normal polish remover?

Any type of Gel Polish will not be cured without an UV lamp. Orly Shade Shifter may be used over a regular polish but it must be cured (dried) under a sort of UV lamp and to remove it any brand of Gel polish remover should do the job.

Tip 1: Be VERY careful not to get any on your skin. If you get any on your skin whatsoever, it will peel the whole thing off. Push your cuticles back. Tip 2: make sure you use a prep (can be a simple as an alcohol pad) base/top coat. On your top coat, go over the end of your nail to "seal" it. These two things should stop your peeling problems - this polish lasts about 3 weeks for me, and at that point I usually remove it because I want a new color or it is growing out too much, not because it is peeling.

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.

It comes off very easily, just like you take off regular polish. Cotton ball and nail polish remover.

I usually use an electic nail file to file it off of the top, then I soak off the polish underneath. If you do not have a electric nail file then you can use a regular file, it will take a bit longer.

For me it relatively removed my matte glitter nail polish easily. However when removing glitter or sand nail polish remember to soak them, it makes the polish come off easier. One technique I use is soak a cotton ball with the nail polish remover then place on the nail. Wrap each finger with tin foil to let the nails soak. Leave on for about two to three minutes and that should really help with the removal. Since this nail polish is less damaging to the nails, it wont hurt the health of the nails or cuticles.

Personally I use a acetone based remover because it removes quickly and cleaner than the regular nail polish remover. I hope this helps!

Yes. Then every other day put it on over your polish. Remove everything after a week and start over.

I just use acetone nail polish remover from the Dollar Tree. I soak my nails for about 5 minutes and it peels right off with no nail damage. I have used the product for three years and think it is great.

Soak your nail in polish remover. Some of the polish will come off, but you'll likely have to peel or scrape it to get it off completely.

That is correct; the way I use it is: 1 layer base coat 2 layers any color (same brand)1 layer after polish and let it dry. Remove once a week and you will see a dramatic difference

Unlike regular nail polish you can't remove these by just wiping with polish remover you need to put remover on a cotton ball on the nails then wrap and leave on for and least 10 minutes to soak off the gel

No, I made a flawed design and I used polish remover and it worked. You need to scrub it down but it did clear up and painting over it with a new nail color made it look like nothing happened to begin with. You can always just break off that nail and move on to a fresh untouched one if you're not stingy but to answer your question in short, no it won't ruin the product.

After you apply the product and rub it in, you have to go back and remove all excess polish. Sometimes takes several rubbings to do this...but, it works.

Hi! I loved it! I sprinkled over my colored polish, let it set for a few minutes, then put a coat of clear over it & it lasted over 5 days - & in GOOD shape. No beads coming off or anything. I was surprised.

Nail Polish remover works when it is still wet. But, you have to put a lot of elbow grease into it. I'm not sure what cleans it up after it is dry. Good luck! It's a wonderful product!

This base coat is meant to be used with a top gel coat and then cured with uv light. I know that without the light the polish never and i mean never dries. I don't know if you could put regular polish over it. I feel like you would still need to use an uv light.
