Do you use this with regular nail polish? My teenage daughter loves to do her nails, and I'd like to get her this but I know nothing about it.

Yes you can I use acrylic paint to design on my nails. you can buy it for 50 cents a bottle. The dotting tools are great I think she would love this set.

yes, that was the intent behind my purchase - i love doing nail art - these brushes are the perfect size for that sort of art... though i actually used some of them to apply face makeup once, they worked well for that, as well. the best way to use them is to place a few drops of polish on a small glass/plastic/minutely absorptive surface (i've been using magazines pages) and dip the brush to that (rather than dipping the brushes straight into the bottle). do keep in mind, these are not high-quality; they are a perfect starter set for anyone, and if they so choose to upgrade to higher quality natural brushes later, they can do so with the confidence that they will know how to utilize them to their fullest potential.

they sell (expensive) special nail polish which is thicker than regular nail polish. I buy regular polish, take the top off (be sure to really, really clean the brush & then put it in a ziplock baggie. Check the nail polish every day to see if it has thickened. Hot weather thickens polish faster than cold weather. Acrylic paint (the cheap stuff from WALMART) can also be used. Basically you just need to play with it. I learned how on YouTube there are tons of video tutorials to teach you how to use it. Hope this helps

I use it alone (looks like clear nail polish) and under nail polish. Both work for me!! Still loving the product!!

For me it works with any nail polish. Its just a cover up (gel) that hardens and thats what stays shiny. Its also what the nail salons use.

I have natural nails. I use them a lot. You just have to apply them while your polish is still wet and after it drys add a good top coat.

I use it with polish on my toe nails, and it has worked great.I just put a drop down the top of the toe nail, and on both sides...Good Luck..

I've used it only on top of colored nail polish. It is as high gloss as any I've ever used, but the difference lies in its longevity. It doesn't stay as glossy as days go by, but even after a week it still looks like a fairly fresh manicure. I'm amazed by it.

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 have found that if you don't prep your nail well before application, the polish will peel easily. However, if you do a good prep, the gel is very hard and you won't be able to pick at your nails!

if your nail polish isn't old try applying a thin coat 1st. I usually do 3-4 coats. if I do a think coat it always looks like they were touched before they dried. I'm not a big fan of these nails. I will use them bc I already bought them but I wont be buying any more.

it is better used for acrylic nails, however after awhile it seems like the nails turn dark. I was using it for my nails, and am currently looking for something else. I like the natural look of acrylic but after awhile it got embarrassing.

I apply it once & let it dry and then apply it again. DO NOT put it on top of nail polish! I made the mistake of trying that after I had my 1st manicure!!! It made my nail polish bubble & peel off! I make sure I put this on every other day. You may not need to apply it that often. I, myself, am a chronic nail biter. Even after a couple months of using this product, I am not "cured". I will always be a nail biter. I wish I could upload a photo of what my nails look like now. People ALWAYS think that I am wearing fake nails. My nails have NEVER been this healthy looking or been this strong & healthy! I apply it once & let it dry and then apply it again. DO NOT put it on top of nail polish!

I've never tried it, but don't know why you would want to. If you use it on the bare nail everything layered on top will stay. I could never keep nail polish on my fingernails until I found it. Now my polish lasts all week.

You don't need this light for regular nail polish, and I wouldn't suggest it as it's a UV light that will be exposing your child's hands to damaging UV light without cause. This light is specifically meant for UV hardening nail polish which won't harden without it. What you want is a nail drying fan. not a light.

Yes That is all I use for the moment is nail regular polish. I use acetone to clean up. Hope that helps.

I have used the top coat over Jamberry nails and it seems to work. I don't know why it wouldn't work over regular polish. I don't know for sure, but I don't think that the base coat would work very well.

I don't think you are supposed to use nail polish for as long as you are putting that nail stuff on your nails.I read it somewhere before I ordered it. Maybe for a special occasion would be ok, but that nail stuff hasto penetrate your nail and it can't with nail polish on the nail.
