Can i paint the fingers themelves and design or do i absolutley HAVE to put fake nails on the fingers? Also, can i use nail polish remover on these?

You can definitely paint the fingers themselves but the nail is quite small.. So I usually put a tip on it. I guess you could compare the size of the nail to a pinky nail. And they are very nail polish remover friendly. I use 100% acetone which is super strong. So this leads me to believe ANY nail polish remover will work just fine.

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.

I do not know, I have not used them with nail polish. I would suggest buying a set of acrylic paint, because it does not dry as quickly and is much easier to work with on your nails esp. for a beginner. Just put on a nice thick base coat, wait for it to dry, and then use the acrylic as you wish and put on a thick top coat. I have had the colors last up to 2 weeks and I am REALLY hard on my nails. This is the paint set I bought with the brushes: Plaid Promoabi Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint, 18 2-Ounce they have many combo packs with different colors, I just thought that this one had the most variety. Good luck and I hope I helped! I do not know, I have not used them with nail polish.

Well this is actually just nail art paint so it's not really made to go on the whole nail you probably would already have acrylic or gel polish on and then you'd add this on top of the polish as a design.

I haven't used the Sally Hansen gel polishes but have tried others and don't much care for them. I prefer to use Fingerpaints gel base and top coat and use regular nailpolish with a regular top coat. The lamp is small and portable and works beautifully. I have tried other products that don't require a lamp and they are too thin and runny. Fingerpaints is thicker and much more controllable. Good Luck

You can cure your whole hand if your hand is small and your thumb doesn't lay flat. Otherwise, you have to cure the thumb separately. I have better success with the 36 watt ultraviolent than with the small LED lamps. The LED's only dry 1 or 2 fingers at a time and that's a hassle. Make sure you turn your hand upside down to dry the bottom of the nail. That makes a big difference on how the polish lasts. Hope that answers your question.

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.

Make sure you are using a light coat. It comes out pretty thick so brush the brush off on the bottle. The thicker the coat the more your nails will chip. I paint my nails about every 3 days anyway, but this is the first top coat I have gotten to allow me to keep my fingers painted for more then 3 days if I wanted to keep them the same color without chipping. I know the frustration and of course not everything works for everyone, but the lighter the coat the better

The nails just glue on and will come off. I trim nails before placing nails on.

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 :-)

They're just nail tips so you have to use nail glue to put them on. Then you can put acrylic, if you'd like, on top.

No! They are not good at all! Once you put the brush in nail polish they get all hard! And can't make designs on your nails!

You can do all three I think :) I tend to wear it without polish - I'm always using my hands for work so any coloured nail polish I wear chips very easily. It does work very well as a base coat though. Hope this helps!

You definitely can. These are pretty large though so they probably won't stay on for long. I would probably rely on nail glue rather than polish or top coat though.

They are not intended for removal. They are for display purposes only, to swatch colors or to demonstrate designs, like they have in the store to show you how colors look out of the bottle. You can hold them against your nail to check how they go with your skin tone, but they are not meant to be removed and worn.

their tips so if you just paint over them without doing anything its going to look wierd unless you put gel or acrylic over them to even it out. thats what i do

You need to do the separately, thumbs first then one hand and then the other. I just did my nails last Sat. over 9 days ago and I don't have ANY chips! This stuff is hard to get off but worth the wear time!
