I tried this last night with regular polish I got from Naillite and it worked great! It was pretty see through (can't think of the word I want here) but after abiut 4 coats is was great. We'll see how it works! I will try it next with soakable gels! Thanks for the idea!!! Kim T

I mean, why bother buying soakable gels if I can do it this way?

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?

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???
