Can you use any type of nail polish to transfer image on, I ask because on another brand they were selling "transfer polish"

You can use any kind of nail polish. I personally use Sally hensen brand as it's none expensive. I do get to use other brands like opi and wet and wild and NYC. Believe me a I am a nail stamping addict and have a variety of nail stamping plates from different brands and they work also with any polish. I do think that if they don't work it's not the nail polish, it's the plate that might be defective.

Answer here...I have found it to be trial and error. Almost all Metallic and one coat cream polishes work well. Try on a piece of paper first. This is the best way to be sure.

Yes, you can use any kind of polish on any kind of plate. The trick is to use cream based polishes. Polishes that are to thin might work but there is a higher chance of them not working because they are so thin and you would have to use multiple coats (which you cant use when stamping) so if the polish is thicker then you will be okay.

Yes & no! There are certainly polishes out there that work. There are some that don't. That "special" polish tends to be thicker & highly pigmented, giving you a crisper image. Drugstore brands like Wet & Wild and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri do a pretty good job.

My niece is a manicurist and works mostly with the cnd brand but told me uv/ led brands are interchangeable. I used cnd base and top coat with gelish Polish a week ago and my nails still look perfect!

No, you can either use a regular nail polish or you can get whats called the best glue ever or something like that, I see professional nail artists use that.

i'm guessing it will work with any kind of gel polish as long as you are doing it right... i have been using it with the 'gelish' brand and it works just fine i think as long as you have good gel polish ( be it gelish, shelac, or opi gel polish) it should work just fine

As long as you are using an led lamp to cure this you can use this with any brand. I have used it as a bottom layer before any nail polish be it gel or enamel, and I have used it as a top coat over any polish to protect and add a smooth long lasting shine

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

Yes. You can use it on natural or acrylic nails. It works great for the latest "shellac" polishes.

Yes, you can use most any regular polish. Usually one coat products are best like Sally Hansen Insta-Dri or something similar from other brands like Sinful Colors or Pure Ice, just to name a few. You can buy special stamping polishes but they are not necessary. There is some trial and error involved to see what polish works for you and what look you want.

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!

No sorry it won't work. It is like nail lacquer. You need a base and a top. Color in-between if you want. The base it what helps hold it on the nail and only a top will peel off because there's no base. Hope this makes since. You can use only a base and top coat with no color if you want. It looks really nice and the shine lasts for almost 2 weeks.

There are nail polish thinners available where polish is sold. I prefer not to thin it as I like the properties of the product with no formaldehyde and the thinners are usually pure acetone or such.

You mean konad nail polish? Of course. These work with all brands of polishes, as long as they're the right consistency for stamping. Thicker, more opaque ones show better.

I haven't tried that myself but I don't see why not. From what I read on other sites before I made the purchase, the top coat is actually the more durable coat. I think in salons you can get just the top coat on and shellac is a lot harsher. This stuff comes off with no nail damage. Hope that helps. :)

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.

No..most polish users have a favorite brand top and base coats, as well as a good remover, that they prefer. I keep several favorite on hand, so when I get a stubborn polish (brand or color ) I have a backup to try. I always use a base coat...it gives a smooth base for your polish and helps keep dark shades from staining your nails.
