I don't know I think there shouldn't be any problem since it will be wet product but its worth a shot

I've seen a video on YouTube where someone uses a gold shellac gel polish with stamping and it worked. I never got it to work with the colors I have though. But these plates would work just the same as any other good quality plates. What you can do though, that I do all the time, is do a gel polish mani, but before the top coat, wipe the sticky layer and use regular polish to stamp, then wait a few minutes then apply the top coat of gel polish. :)

After I am finished with my nails, top coat and all, I put the stamps on and then a second top coat. One of the girls at my daughters salon puts the stamps on before the top coat but my daughter has never been able to.

As I have pretty strong natural nails I have not ventured into the gel polishes. That being said I have stamped with everything from dollar store polish to mac polishes and they all stamp .. Some are just better than others even within each brand. The thicker and more pigmented the polish the better the stamp. If gels are thick and pigmented then I believe they would do well too.

I have found that it works with any light-cured gel polish. UV or LED. The diff is that curing time is much shorter with the LED from this light.

I have used it successfully with gel, shellac and regular nail polish. My preferred base & top coat is the shellac type made by CND but I would think that any UV cured products would work... your preference. :-)

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.

I bought them to be used with a metal stamp so I don't know if they would work with an embossed.

Yes you can use any brand gel polish. I bought a sally Hansen brand Polish from target and it worked just fine. Also I would buy a different nail dehydrator/primer because the one included in this kit sucks! The polish always lifts after 4 days!

Yes, I actually use it with IBD gel polish. All gel polishes work on the same principle, uv light cured.

Yes, you should be able to use any base of varnish, water or oil based based, shellac, lacquer, polyurethane (water or oil based).Pretty sure that it says that in the description.

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, you must use only vinylux polish and topcoat. The polish has a base in it.The two work together to make afinish.

Some of the comments mention doing that. I don't see why not. I have only used it with their polish, however.

Hi Meghan.The kit contains only stamping plates. You will also need a stamper, a scraper and special nail polish for stamping. These are purchased separately.RegardsAnne Irene

You can use it for any type of gel polish. I have Gelish and it works great.

I got this for my daughter for Christmas. Yes I think you would be able to use any gel polish with it.

You can use any of the gel polishes. I use the Gelish system and have great results.

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!)

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!
