Can you use these for regular polish that's not UV/Gel?

Yes. I have used the dotting tools with conventional nail polish. The secret is waiting til the base color is dry before using the dotting tool.

Yes, you can. The consistencies of the two brands might be a bit different (I have found Gelish to go on thicker than OPI), but they are still compatible. I have a few different brands of gel polish that I use and they all work together. Hope this helps!

Unfortunately you cannot. I tried this with OPI for white tips. The polish stayed gel like and peeled. You have to use all gel products. I hope this helps.

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

A short polish like Zoya or Essie, yes. A taller polish like OPI, China Glaze or Orly, no. Hope this helps. :)

I only used on gel polish, I've never tried regular polish with this dryer. However I use regular polish for color and gel bottom and topcoat.

Yes you can. When I do my Mom's or Aunt's nails it's with regular polish as the shellac is too much of a hassle for them to remove. I still stick them under the UV light as it speeds up the drying time with regular polish as well. I especially like using Seche Vite top coat when using regular polish. (sidenote: Seche Vite has a UV top coat but this is NOT what I use. I use the regular Seche Vite top coat and dry under UV lamp as it's super quick. Didn't want you to be confused in case you decided to use the brand. Hope this clarifies!)

I am not sure what "UV" polish is exactly, but it works with any gel nail polish that requires UV light for curing (drying)

I tried once, but it didn't work as well as gel polish. I didn't wait and let it really dry though, I just did the 2 minutes under the lamp like you do for the gel polish. These base and top coats work really well with the sephora gel polishes.

Yes! Just as long as the nail polish is a gel polish that must be cured with UV or LED light.

No. Use a small fan to dry regular polish. OR you can apply a coat of gel base and dry with the UV lamp. THEN apply a coat (or 2) of regular polish. Once the regular Polish is COMPLETELY dry (again - AIR dry regular polish), you can apply a gel top coat and dry with the UV lamp. I personally haven't tried this method, but I've read that this can be done when someone wants to use regular polish to extend the life of their mani. But make sure the coat of regular polish is completely dry!I hope this was helpful. :)

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.

I had no problem using it with regular polish on acrylics. I have Question? What do you use to remove your acrylics?

I doubt it. LED polishes are designed to cure with the specific wavelength of light used in LED lights. Regular polish is not.

Yes, the brand of the polish and lamp do not matter just as long as they are gel polishes and either a UV or LED lamp

No you have to use the LED light to cure gel products. If you have the light I know people who do use the gel top coat on regular polish I've never tried it though so I'm not sure if it works well.

Yes, if you are using regular nail polish with gel top coat, it still works great! Only recommendation is to let the regular nail polish dry COMPLETELY before adding the gel top coat. If you don't, the regular nail polish will begin to wrinkle.
