Which should I apply first? The therapy or the foundation? And afer putting them on do I need to put regular nail basecoat before I put nail polish on

Put the foundation first. Then color nail polish, then the therapy clean. No need to put basecoat. The foundation is thick enough to protect the nail and work as a base before the nail polish. Just make sure its completely dry before applying color. Hope this helps.

Therapy first, then foundation, then nail polish. You do not need regular nail basecoat - the foundation does its' job. If you do not want to cover the nails with polish - the foundation looks like your own nail, just very smooth and opaque, no glossy shine at all.

Please put the foundation on first and then the therapy. You don't need a basecoat. the foundation and therapy are your basecoat. I have tried putting on two coats of each, but have found the polish will peel. Try one coat of foundation, one coat of therapy, and up to two coats of polish. If you have a polish that only requires one coat, that is great. When all of this dries well, I will put on a fast drying topcoat. You may not even need to to this until one or two says later. I found out that if I [and it may not work for you] do it this way, less chipping and having to redo. Best of luck!

I wear the therapy all the time. If I am applying polish I use a coat of therapy, then foundation, a coat or two of polish and another of therapy. My nails are steel, no peeling or braking. I love this stuff!! Oh, foundation over the polish tends to make the color look dull, faded. Wearing therapy alone makes the nails look nurished and healthy.

I used foundation first and then therapy....then polish. No need for regular base coat. Coat with therapy every day over polish.

Apply the foundation first then the therapy. They will act as your base coat apply color then one more layer of therapy. You must apply one coat of therapy each day for seven(7) days for the system to work. On the eighth day remove all polish and repeat!

This is a base coat. I don't understand what foil or adhesive has to do with this. Neither is needed. You apply nail polish on top as usual. Hope this works out well for you.

Yes you can use regular nail polish on top, although I would use a clear coat of polish first. & yes you can use acetone

Depending on your specific nail problem I use the foundation 2 followed by intensive 2. Hope that helps.

Make sure you cover the complete nail area with the primer. AND more important, make sure the coats are light ESPECIALLY near any skin surrounding the actual nail.

They are the same product. Nail treatment or nail prep is just another way to say base coat.

There's no trick. Use the dark shade first. Then, the light gray. Finally, the white. Use like a regular buffer and that's it. No oil or lotion is necessary. My nails shine like I have clear polish on and smooth as glass. I use this before a nail polish change. I'm only a user of this product it's the best I've ever used. I am a licensed cosmetologist. Hope this helps.

Apply to nails like polish. You can use it over polish as well. Strenghtens nails

According to the DermaNail site, nailpolish may be used. However, care should be taken to allow DermaNail to be asorbed at the base of the nail.

There are numerous reasons this may happen. 1st...do NOT get product on cuticle or skin or it WILL peel! 2nd...be sure to 'seal' the free edge. This is CRUCIAL! Paint product on the end of the free edge. Failure to do this WILL result in peeling! 3rd...you may have an oily nail bed. Try using PH bond before using the foundation coat. And make sure your nails are clean and completely free of any lotions or oils before you start! Good luck!

I think so i am not a professional but once in wile still go for the hand message etc polish noticed the girls are using other than opi base and top coat along with opi polish stayed on great !!all will feel a little tacky at end even after cure until you wipe with alcohol don't forget go easy on polish and top and bottom coat so doesn't get the too thick look ,Happy pretty nails :-)

I use a cheaper primer from sensationails but I have done my nails without a primer. Just make sure to buff the nails first in order to remove any oils. You want them to be clean and oil free in order for the base to stick and not peel.

I believe you need the base coat and top coat .A gel nail drying light is also necessary. After all the gels have been set under the light, the nails have to be wiped with an alcohol based cleaner to remove the stickiness.

I an not sure sure other than you can't use a regular base coat or top coat with this polish. The sticky base coat keeps the polish from staining your nails and holds the three layers together. It is a great product. I hope this helps. I could only get my nails done professionally, using this until I found it on Amozon.

To my knowledge you have to use a base and top coat as they are part of a "system" for curing the gel polish. I use Gelish base and top coats with many different brands of gel polish colors and it works great.

From what I have read, the clear gel or the builder gel replace the foundation coat as long as you use a dehydrator underneath. This process is different than the gel polish application where you must use the foundation gel. Hope that this helped. I know that gelish just launched there new web page a short while ago and they have a large section of question and answers as well as speak to a rep. Hope this helped.

Make sure you buff the nails well, clean the nails (get any grease, creams or oils off) and use the primer (all provided). I also add 2 layers of polish which might help you.
