Is it ok to put regular nail polish on top of acrylic nails?

I got acrylics awhile ago and they are starting to grow out, I dont' want to get them filled but I dont want to ruin my nails by taking them off, so i'm just going to leave them on till my nails completely grow out , then cut the acrylics off.





My question is. is it ok to put regular nail polish on top of the acrylic???Is it ok to put regular nail polish on top of acrylic nails?
Yes, you can poilsh any acrylic nails. But, since acrylic is a porous materail, it will stain easily from polish, especially the darker shades. To prevent this, use a good quality basecoat prior to applying the polish.


As for removing the polish, if you use non-acetone polish remover, your nails will be fine. In fact, even using acetone to remove the polish is fine, as long as you do NOT leave it on very long. In other words, you would remove the polish, and then immediately wash your hands to take any acetone off of your nails. Acetone works the best, and many nail techs, including myself, use it on acrylic nails all the time. But, if you leave it on for any longer than absolutely necessary, then yes, it will damage the acrylic.


Thus, I would suggest non-acetone remover for home use.Is it ok to put regular nail polish on top of acrylic nails?
Yeah, use a clear base coat first though.
yes but it will look like crap, they can soak off your nails if you go to a salon...or buy nail polish remover with acetone ( make sure you get the normal...not anything that says non acetone or it wont work) but take a cotton ball soak it in the nail polish remover, put it on top of the nail cover each one with foil and let it sit for about 30 minutes, the acetone will eat the acrylic, and you should be able to scrap off any excess
Yea i got my nails done all the time and if they started to grow out or i didnt liek the color id take it off with some nail polish remover...they make a special kind for those if you wanna play it safe...but it worked fine for me.
yes!Just make sure to use non acetone nail polish remover
Yeah, but sometimes it looks like a shitty job.
yeah but you cant remove the nail polish after youve dont that or you will ruin th top layere of acyrilic
