Question
Does the Pink Gel Coat work well over nail polish?
I've been using the Pink Gel Coat and it's amazing as a strenghtener. I would like to know if anyone has tried using it over nail polish? And does it affect the nail color? And does it still have the same strenthening effect as it does when wearing it alone?

I use Pink Gel Coat weekly as a base coat for my nail color. I have tried it over my nail polish, but found that it works much better when applied directly to my unpolished nails. It doesn't seem to affect the nail polish color at all when you use it over polish.

I find that it takes forever to dry when used as a top coat. Hours after I finish my nails they Are still not fully dry. I have waited until the next day and then applies the top coat and that works and helps keep the polish on

This pink coat really brings out the natural color of the nail, so it doesn't really leave a shade of pink. I wear it alone and can wear it for about two weeks before it chips. If you want some color, I would put one coat of color on your natural nail and then follow with this pink gel coat. However, if you're using something now that you love and works for you, I would stick with that and add some color with it.

The pink color isn't really visible with a single coat of Pink Gel Coat. Even with 2-3 coats, the pink color really is clear and you can't see it unless you are in direct sunlight then it has a pinkest color to it. The optical brighters in this make the nail bed pinker and the white nail parts even whiter than the naked nail alone. I have found that I like the Pink Gel Coat Perfect Formula just by itself with no other product. Works wonders for me!

Can I thin out the Pink Gel Coat?

My complaint is that no matter how hard I tighten the lid on the bottle or how fast I use up the product, it thickens too much to use up all of the product.

I know the salons usually use whatever their nail color removal product is, so you might try adding a drop at a time to your bottle and mixing/shaking well after each drop when it has reached the 1/4 left stage and see how it works. If you've had to let your bottle go at the 1/4 left stage before anyway, you have nothing to lose in trying and see what your results are. Different types of nail products may take this method differently than just nail polish does, so you may see some difference in application and/or life of the product on your nails after doing this, thus the suggestion at attempting when bottle is at a low volume anyway.

I haven't used this product or attempted to thin it, but I have to chime in about acetone as a polish thinner. First, the more acetone you put on your nails, the dryer and more brittle they will be which cancels out the purpose of the pink gel. I wouldn't use acetone or other polish remover to thin *any* nail polish. It will just make them separate and dry out faster. Find a nail polish thinner like Develop 10 or Beauty Secrets and give that a try. I bet it would work fine in pink gel.

Does not appear to chip as a typical polish will, but eventually (after several days of dish washing and other life), it seems a spot of the gel may nick and start to peel. Will last longer with two thin coats as opposed to thick coats or too many coats.

I found that I can in fact wear this polish on my nails for 7 to 8 days without it chipping. Hope this helps!

Yes. Very chip-proof - in fact, the MOST chip proof product I've tried in years.

I don't know, but it sure does make my polish last. I use it as a base coat to help strengthen my nails and then put it on top of my polish so they won't chip.
