I've had varying luck with stickers. I've picked them up in all sorts of places - beauty shops, beauty shows, online nail shops, Ebay, pound shops... I've found it doesn't always matter how much you spend, but sometimes the stupid things just. won't. stick!
Oddly enough, the ones that I've found stick the absolute best are ones from Poundland. I hated to admit this, but yes, they were great little stickers. So many of the ones I've tried don't adhere, or their edges roll up before you can get the top coat on and it makes a mess.
So if you can find ones that stick well, by all means use them with normal polish and top coat. I would let your colour underneath dry quite well before putting the stickers on, then top coat it.
* Also, one note of caution with the Ebay ones... a lot of the sticker sets come from China and take a month to ship. Make sure you'll have them before New Years!
