first time ever getting acrylic nails....is it ok to use nail polish remove to take off the nail polish?

Question

and is it ok to put a diffrent nail polish on them or will it do something to the acrylic?

Answer 1

nail polish remover "melts" the acrylic nails. so, im not sure you would want to use that on them. Its good for getting them off though!

Answer 2

Any polish remover will work for you. Acetone is used to remove acrylic nails, but it takes quite a bit soaking to do that. So taking polish off with polish remover that has acetone in it will not hurt your acrylics. (As a manicurist, I use straight acetone to remove polish all the time.) You might need to buff the acrylic nails after removing polish. Just use #400 wet/dry sandpaper.

Answer 3

Make sure you have non-acetone nail polish remover because you'll soon find out regular nail polish remover makes your acrylics dissolve.... and it shouldn't be a problem to polish them a diff color.... you might want to try a clear coat just like on regular nails before you put the color, especially if its a dark color you don't want your nails to tint.

Answer 4

I get acrylic nails all the time & change color constantly. The trick is using non-acetone nail polish remover. That way it won't destroy the acrylic nail.

Answer 5

you have to get special polish remover for acrylic nails. i think it's called non-acetone.

Answer 6

no you won't damage the the acrylic but if you remove the polish and polish it over it won't look as good as it does when you first get it done i know cause i've done it

Answer 7

yes but you have to get a certain type of nail polish

Answer 9

Answer 10
