The Answer, and More!

Can I Use Regular Nail Polish on My Acrylics?

The answer is yes, you can apply regular nail polish on acrylic nails once the acrylic has fully dried and cured. However, it may not last as long as gel or acrylic polish and it might not chip as easily. There are also some tricks you can use to make regular nail polish last longer on acrylics, such as using a base coat and top coat.

Here are some tips for applying regular nail polish on acrylics:

• Make sure the acrylic nails are fully dry and cured before applying nail polish.
• Use a base coat to help the nail polish adhere to the acrylic nails.
• Apply two thin coats of nail polish, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
• Use a top coat to seal in the nail polish and help it last longer.

If you want your regular nail polish to last longer on acrylics, you can try using a gel top coat. Gel top coats are more durable than regular top coats and they can help to prevent your nail polish from chipping or peeling.

With a little practice, you can get great results using regular nail polish on acrylics. So experiment and have fun with your nail art!
