I do this all the time with many nail polish brands. I polish in the am and put gel on in evening. I buff nails down to the color & remove just like I never used gel tc

I also do this but I didn't know I could skip the gel base coat. Thks for the great info

I didn’t think about using a base coat since I was using regular nail polish but maybe it would help. Thank you for watching!

Thank you! I had the same question. I don't want to buff my natural nails and want to use a regular base coat, regular polish, then use a soak off top coat. I hope it works.

Just did this and they all look great except for one nail that didn’t dry completely. Things I used. Essie strong start base coat, OPI polish (2 coats except for one nail - 3x), then 2 coats of Essie speed setter top coat because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use a gel top coat, lol. Finally finished off with gel top coat (Modelones) and they look so shiny. Will see how long this last.

I'm gonna do the regular top coat as well cause I just did mine and the polish didn't dry so its all squishy after curing it with gel top coat😭😭 Need to start all over lol😭

Am gonna try this....i have so much regular nail polish but I don't have the patience to wait for the drying, esp on my hands. I'm generally fidgety, the waiting is punishment 😢 so i ended up using it for my toes only

@nailswithmandy 4 ай бұрын

I usually just use regular nail polish on my toes also. Gel polish makes it way better since you don’t have to wait for it to dry. Thanks for watching!

@gracewhite7827 5 ай бұрын

Can you put regular polish on full gel tips and then apply clear gel polish? I have so much regular polish and hate for it to just sit and dry up.

@nailswithmandy 5 ай бұрын

I was actually wanting to try that but I’m pretty sure it would work. Thanks for watching!

@latoyiajones4475 4 ай бұрын

U have to make sure the polish is completely dry because it will wrinkle under UV light

@JazzyB9481 4 ай бұрын

I put regular polish on top of gel base coat and builder gel last week and it was completely fine, so I’d imagine adding another layer of gel on top of that as shown in this video would be fine as long as every layer is dried completely.

Doing this for years, need a good topcoat. I've used eyeshadow as polish as well. Just ordered Zoya Armor Topcoat, can't wait! A really good nail polish topcoat is KINND QUICK DRY TOPCOAT, cheap and very strong, buy it! Better than Essie No Chips topcoat which shrinks, Seche Vite Quick Dry topcoat was lovely but shrinks and Sally Hansen insta dry clear Topcoat was Quick to dry but Chips easily! A good cheap gel topcoat & basecoat is MTSSII GEL POLISHES online. A good basecoat works, Kiara Sky Sticky basecoat and KINND nail primer work well with SGP gel polish! UK 🇬🇧 21.5.24

Has anyone tried with essie and orly regular nail polish?also, how long does this gel top coat stays for with regular nail polish?

@LaGoKenyane 3 ай бұрын

I have used it with Essie because I only have Essie brand. It works and it stays for as long as normal gel does. I wait for about 8 hours before putting the gel top coat just to be sure it dried properly.

@Addielp 3 ай бұрын

@@LaGoKenyane thanks girl! Hopefully it’ll stay for 3 weeks because somehow when I do my own gel it only stays for one week, that’s why I switched to regular nail polish.

I want to : Clear reg np Peelable gel Two coats of reg np (color) Gel top coat Filing is way to much work I want to be able to peel them off Any tips???

@nailswithmandy 4 ай бұрын

If you want to peel them off with no damage to your nails, you would need to apply a peel off base coat before applying the nail polish
