No, You don't have to use the stamping polish, but it is easier for beginners to have something guaranteed to work right away. With other polishes, there is a lot of trial and error. I prefer thicker polishes (ya know like your old ones or cheapies from the drug store) They work pretty well.

I'm going to say yes, because I have like 12 different brands of polish, and none of them worked on these plates. However, that is just my humble opinion

You can use any polish but some work better than others. The thicker the better.

I don't really have a hard time with the polishes I have. But before using the plate design I clean it with nail polish remover first.

It has paper on the back of the plates. The plate is made of metal. No polish hets on your nail unless you put it there.

I've never needed to do a lot with them, just wipe them over with a cloth. The plates are non-stick and I've never had any batter sticking to them. Like Max Maxwell I have never needed to use oil on the plates.

Yes. Just leave them under 2 minutes instead of 1 when you use the gel polish.

Yes you can use any nail polish. And as for nail polish remover I use "Take it Off regular" so far it hasn't damaged the plates. Hope that answers your questions.

I am not sure, are those the only brand of bail stamping plates you have? And what kind of polish do you use!

No, use you own. I use my china plates, and at Christmas, my Christmas plates. Looks great!

My plates have a glazed finish front and back, as I assume portmerion dishes do also. I found these hangers very easy to use and they work great. My dishes have been up for months with no problem. Just follow the advice of other users and make sure that you work the glue a little with the water to make it pasty/tacky before applying to the plate. Also pick your spot on the back of the plate where you want the hanger pointin to BEFORE you apply the disc to the plate.

Any brand of nail polish works fine for me, you don't need to buy the special stamping polish. Nail polish remover doesn't ruin the plate.

I have cleaned the plates using an old toothbrush and dish soap or antibacterial hand soap in the kitchen sink, then rinse with hot water and let air dry. It seems to work fine, I have had no problems.

If you are trying to put them on the plate that came with it there is no trick. But if you are trying to use the plate of the one you are replacing they are not all the same. You have to be sure it is a compatible plate.

I've used them on my dinner plates. Put your design on, put in oven for 30 min @ 350.

I've heard that there are some polishes other than the specific stamping polishes that work but they need to be thicker and it's pretty much trial and error. I recommend the ones designed for this though.

Definitely not! I mess up on my designs and completely take the polish off a lot and it's never seemed to have an effect on mine. They're great!

they are brushed stainless, it would be kind of time consuming to polish them, maybe you could find some made out of aluminum and have then chromed?

Just use a wet towel to clean, and occasionally spray the plates with non stick spray, there will be very little mess because it's nonstick.

There are special polish brands like Konad or Mundo de Uas (the one I use), you can buy both online. MoYou has a new special polish, as well as other stamping plates brands that have started launching special polishes. You can use any normal nail polish if it is thick and saturated in color, you just need to try and you will find some useful normal polishes.
