Be honest😥😥

🩷 I’ve been taking acrylic nail classes for the passed 2 weeks, still have 4 weeks left to go! I’ve mostly been practicing french tips, encapsulation, and now marble design. I still have more left to go so i’ll be posting my sets and practice more!

Question: Can I use regular nail polish on acrylics? what’s the difference between the gel nail polishes different than the regular nail polish?

🤍Please be honest! i’m open for slight criticism!

... Read moreLearning acrylic nails can be an exciting journey for beauty enthusiasts. Acrylic nails are a popular choice due to their durability and the endless possibilities for design. As you practice techniques like French tips and encapsulation, understanding the differences in nail polishes can significantly impact your results. While regular nail polish can be used on acrylics, it may not adhere as well as gel polish, which cures under UV light, ensuring a longer-lasting finish. Acrylic nails often benefit from gel polish's glossy finish and flexibility. As you experiment with marble designs and glitter, consider how each polish type reacts and complements your artwork. Engaging with the community can provide valuable insights, so don’t hesitate to share your progress! Your willingness to receive feedback shows growth and dedication. Keep practicing, and remember, it’s all about enjoying the process and expressing your creativity through your nails.

You are doing great! You can you regular polish on acrylic but gel would stay on longer and gel polish will be a good UV light to cure as regular polish does not. Always try an stay away from the cuticle as getting gel or any nail enhancement products can cause you an allergy.
