I have tried to polish then cap in clear but I get cracks. I must have not let the polish dry enough. I'm going to try mixing! Kim

You get the look like you would from using the color drops that YN has. I mix it in the clear gel for my art work but have never applied polish to the enhancement and capped in clear...never felt that would work. Since I have gotten more into the gel polish, I havent mixed polish. Two different looks. Even the hair color dyes have been known to work..Joseph has used them in the past. They are very concentrated so only a tad is needed. If you try it, let us know how you make out with the color consistency.

I have a slew of OPI colors and would love to use them as well. Wow the possibilities are endless. With the other polishes, are you mixing them or painting on then capping them with a clear? This thread has me excited! Shannon P.S. Starting to save for the Buffalo class in March, I must go, I must go, I must go!!!!!!!!

I have been mixing polish in gel since I started using gels...I have used whatever polish is on my rack. How are they finding this combo to be different than other polish/gel combos??? Curiosity is killing me...
