Can you wear nail polish after first month of treatment?
1797009
I have been using this product for 4 wks ,Phase 1-Treatment, and my toe nails are just starting to clear up. The directions on the box says that after 4 weeks, the Protection Phase (9months) begins applying once a week for 9 months. During the Phase 1 treatment you had to file down your nails in order for the liquid treatment to penetrate. I would think that you would not want to use nail polish because it will seal off the nail and prevent Phase II from protecting you against another fungal infection. Just a thought.

I believe the box said you cannot wear nail polish or artificial nails until the first phase of treatment, being the first month. I suppose if you take off your nail polish at least once a week and apply this product once a week for 9 months like the package says, then you should be fine!! =]

No, there is information in the packaging which discourages this. This product does work. If I had not been able to purchase this at Amazon I would have had to spend $$$ at the doctors.

hey there.. i don't know for sure the answer to that question... but it takes a while for the nail to grow back in a normal healthy way.. and if you do wear nail polish, make sure you take it off soon to reapply if needed.. seems like you have to be diligent with the treatment, or it doesn't work as well.. it does work great though.. i can't wait to leave canada to the states where i can buy it again. the supply seems to last a long time. hope that helps

I don't think you are supposed to use nail polish for as long as you are putting that nail stuff on your nails.I read it somewhere before I ordered it. Maybe for a special occasion would be ok, but that nail stuff hasto penetrate your nail and it can't with nail polish on the nail.

yes, it says you can put on after a manicure. but i think putting it on as a base coat works the best and then you cn put on polish and another coat of the pink armor after that. it dries quickly.

Advised by my Podiatrist to stop using nail color/lacquer due to nail problems. Cannot imagine daily soak would take polish off (especially the newer formulations designed to last a long time), but it might cause it to chip sooner.

Yes. Then every other day put it on over your polish. Remove everything after a week and start over.

first opi gels, apply base coat to clean nails, place under lamp0 seconds, next apply opi gel color your preference, then light for 2 minutes, every treatment color r tips have to go under the laamp finish with top coat, lamp then use alcohol 90% or higher to stop the tackiness you have to use alcohol, make sure nails are smooth when you start and this should give you a two week finish. don't mix gels with regular polish it won't work

Use every color for 10 seconds, move back and forth in one direction to buff the nail, no swirl, no up and down direction. Start from grey, then green, then white. Grey and green should only use one or two times per month, the white side can use often to keep your nail shiny.

The first manicure I did with this kit, I followed the directions exactly and my manicure lasted 2 weeks. It probably would have lasted longer had I not wanted to change the color, so I took off the polish myself. My nails looked beautiful and I got a lot of compliments!

This nail polish kit seems to work best when you use all the layers. I use foundation, a natural color and top coat for hardening my natural nail. I also use the PH nail bonding polish since it seems to peel off less. It may work with just the top coat, but make sure you have the UV or LED light to cure the polish.

No, apply the tips first then follow up with a clear or tinted coat of regular nail polish.

Step 1 is for healthy nails. I use step 2 because my nails were dry with white spots and the polish didn't stay on very well and kept chipping. Now my nails are healthy and the polish stays on beautifully for a week or more.

Yes, just polish your nails and use the product when your nails are partially dry.

You have to wipe nails with the cleanser after last coat, they will be hard and non tacky immediately

Ph bond is like an etching product that prepares the nail bed. Then apply, as thin as you can and covering the entire nail, the foundation. It needs to cured in the LED light. Apply polish. And last the top coat. The top coat will be sticky if you don't clean it well after curing. In my limited experience I have found the thinner the coats, the longer wearing the manicure will be. In polishes that are very dark I have used 3 very thin coats. Good luck.

I believe my nails are harder and healthier. The first week, apply to clear nails -then every day put another coat on top of prior coat/s. I always put this on my nails before polishing them.

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'm not a nail polish wearer because it damages my nails. However, I don't think you can wear polish and receive the full benefit of this product as you apply it to the bed or base of your nail. If you can go without polish for a while, I know you will see a positive difference in your nails...it works!!

I apply it once & let it dry and then apply it again. DO NOT put it on top of nail polish! I made the mistake of trying that after I had my 1st manicure!!! It made my nail polish bubble & peel off! I make sure I put this on every other day. You may not need to apply it that often. I, myself, am a chronic nail biter. Even after a couple months of using this product, I am not "cured". I will always be a nail biter. I wish I could upload a photo of what my nails look like now. People ALWAYS think that I am wearing fake nails. My nails have NEVER been this healthy looking or been this strong & healthy! I apply it once & let it dry and then apply it again. DO NOT put it on top of nail polish!
