Interesting. I hadn't heard of doing this, and certainly haven't tried it. There is an actual product now on the market specifically intended for mixing in this way though (I have to go find the name, yes: GELibility - http://www.chickettes.com/gelibility-turn-regular-nail-polish-into-gel-polish/) - it's not regular gel top coat.I have read on another gel nail site that you can mix Gel Top coat with RNP. Use 2x RNP to 1 Gel Top Coat ( I use drops to measure) cure between coats just as doing reg gel nails. Read this gel polish mis last as long as any gel color.
foundation/base coat
cure
polish mix, as many coats as needed
cure between each coat
Top Coat 1 or 2 what ever you normally do
cure between coats
done
