* Consistency: Regular nail polish is too thick and doesn't transfer well onto the plates. It will likely smudge and leave an uneven, messy design.
* Drying time: Regular nail polish takes longer to dry, which increases the chances of smudging or messing up the transfer.
* Formula: Konad nail art plates work best with their specialized nail polish, which is formulated to be thinner and quicker drying. This helps ensure a clean and precise transfer.
However, there are some workarounds:
* Thinning: You can try thinning your regular nail polish with a few drops of nail polish thinner. This will make it more suitable for Konad plates.
* Using a stamping tool: If you have a stamping tool, you can use it to pick up the polish from the plate and transfer it to your nails. This can help overcome the consistency issue.
Ultimately, using Konad's specialized nail polish will give you the best results and a cleaner, more professional-looking design.
