Yes you can remove the airbrush design but make sure you use non-acetone to remove it. If you have acrylic on your nails regular acetone will disolve it and make it gummy.

yes, u can. i am a licensed nail tech. when u take this off use non-acetone nail polish remover and buff them a little and make sure to put a base coat on before so as to not let any color polish slip under the acrylic. by buffing i mean with an actual buffer block or a very very light abrasive file to smooth only and clean again this time with soap and water. but if i were u i would ask your nail tech if she does gels instead. i do them on all my clients and they can go 2,3,4 or even 5 weeks between fills and they are more durable and lighter and more flexible and best of all no smell at all. they seem to be more breathable also and i have not had any clients with any fungus with them. acrylic seems to hold water and bacteria worse.don't ever glue your own nails if u have any lifting or if u do go see your nail tech very soon after doing so as to not cause potential fungus issues.hope this helps.good luck

ask the professional who applied it... a phone call is all you need really and no charge.
most likely they'll suggest you let the nails alone for a while because you may wish to adjust to them before you get comfortable and wish to do as you want with the nails...
they may also ask you to come in before you do anything yourself and reapply some acrylic and give them a look over to see how your natural nail is taking to the acrylic part.
in the begining allow the professional to do their part before you do what you wish... acrylic nails are tricky even when they're done correctly.
they don't wish to make a liability out of your nails the first time.. it really can make a difference from being a happy camper with nice nail work to a miserable and even sick subject because the nails didn't take, or infecting your natural nail or something you do with the wrong chemicals can screw up the works and just ruin the acrylic work or worse and get into your natural nail and cause some serious damage and pain.
:D

yes, you can make sure you use NON-ACETONE polish remover. If your not sure when you go to get your nails done again just ask them what you can do.
But, DONT use regular nail polish remover that will soften them and get gummy its only to be used if you want to remove the acrylic nails.

I know a much easier way, go to a pharmacy and you will find fake nails & glue (do not use stick ons) you can reuse them and if you dont like the color, (please dont think this is silly) try going to myscene.com going to games get the manicure and tape it over the fake nails, my cousin tried it, it looked cool.
