Is it safe to put clear nail polish on b4 you apply artificial nails?
its my first time applying fake nails but i heard that they damage your real nails so i was thinking wouldn't it be safer to put on a clear coat of nail polish before applying the fake nail by the way there not acrylic there are just regular fake nailsIs it safe to put clear nail polish on b4 you apply artificial nails?
If you get Acrylic nails on and have good nail tech taking care of, you should be fine. Nails just like hair when you cut short it will grow back , It is hard to damage something that can growing back except you abuse it. The only thing you have to beware is infection , people can lose their nails easily by being infection.
For artificial Nails you glue on , It should be fine if you put on and take off correctly .I don't think you need put any thing on before ,just very gentle when taking off . ( may use hot water or even acetone soak off ).
while wearing those glued nails on ,you should check infection or fungus often.
Good luck

I dont' think it could hurt anything to do that. The problem is that in order for the glue to stick, you need a semi rough surface. And I think that applying a clear coat would make the nail too smooth. Also, I think that the fake nails would still damage your nails even with a clear coat first.
There's no danger. The nails will just fall off very easily because it won't be adhered to your nail.
But I really don't recommend that you bother with those DIY glue on nail kits. If you get air bubbles under the nail, you could get a bacterial infection. That's unsafe.
generally they don't damage your nails, only if you rip them off so i say just put them on but it wont do anything if you put clear polish on i shouldn't think. although if the glue has some ingredients then it could bond easily
of course its safe it will be fine.

I accidentally got nail polish remover for artificial nails? Is it still ok to use for my natural nails?....?
What is the difference between those two types of polish remover?I accidentally got nail polish remover for artificial nails? Is it still ok to use for my natural nails?....?
It is still okay to use for your natural nails. The difference between those two types of nail polish remover is that nail polish removers for natural nails have acetone while nail polish removers for artificial nails don't have acetone but instead contain ethyl acetate or methyl ethyl keytone as their active ingredient because acetone can cause artificial nails to become brittle and lift.I accidentally got nail polish remover for artificial nails? Is it still ok to use for my natural nails?....?
You can use it on your natural nails :) The difference is the Acetone in the remover for your natural nails will eat at artificial nails and cause them to basically melt and fall off !
yea you can use it.....acetone is used to remove acrylic

What is the best way to remove artificial nail tips?
*~*soak them in acetone*~*or rip them off lol*~*What is the best way to remove artificial nail tips?
Buy some acetone or nail polish remover with acetone in it, and soak them in there. They'll get soft and you can pull them off.
Or you can go to a nail salon and they'll take them off for like $15.
But just so you know, your nails under are gonna peel and look horrible.What is the best way to remove artificial nail tips?
get cotton soaked in acetone, and then wrap it around your nail and leave it. after 10 mins or so, gently rock the nail tip from left to right to lift it. if it isnt soft, just let it keep soaking until it dissolves.

Do artificial nail tips ruin your nails that badly?
i've been wanting to get them but my mom keeps telling me it destroys your nail cause of the glue they put on.
any advice?Do artificial nail tips ruin your nails that badly?
The manicurist buffs the top of your nail until it's rough and thin so the glue for the fake tips will adhere. Once the fake nails are on, they look perfect....however when you get them removed your nails look like a rabid dog attacked them!
I got my nails continously french ';tipped'; for about six months until the manicurist went to buff my pinky nail and I bled. The nail had gotten so thin that she punctured it by accident. I took the salon's suggestion and let my nails grow back naturally and have been afraid to do fake tips again...
Do artificial nail tips ruin your nails that badly?
NO they don't! It depends on who applied them and how much they abused your nail beds! I am a nail tech and I have had nails on for 21 years now. Your own nail only needs to be lightly scratched with a light file, NO DREMELS! This is so you remove the oils from your nail bed for good application!!
They really are not very good for your nails. I've tried every kind - acrylic, gel, silk wraps. They all weaken the nail underneath. In addition to that, it is costly to maintain. I would really try to keep my real nails nicely manicured. Odds are really good that if you do, they will grow and look great when polished.
YES!!!
i had acrylic nails at one time and they're TERRIBLE for you... when you get the nails taken off your nails are really thin and rip and break ALL the time! you have to let your nails Fully grow back before they look normal...
don't do them! they will ruin your nails! just get some great clear nail polish that will help your nails grow, and once they get to a great length spend the money and have them professionally french tipped and silk wrapped :D
Yeah they do. And they have to buff your nails too, so when you take them off your nails are so thin and brittle.

Is there an artificial nail that looks like a natural nail?
My nails are usually long and strong except during cold weather. Unfortunately, they have a tendency to snap right off. I've had acrylics, but they don't look like a natural nail and have to have nail polish applied. I want something that will let me have long nails but be able to go without polish or with just a coat or two of clear.Is there an artificial nail that looks like a natural nail?
Get Bio Sculpture Gel put over the top of your natural nails. They have a range of over 60 colours and quite a few light and natural colours and some awesome bright ones. Just like acrylics they need to be refilled but unlike acrylics they actually look really natural. You only need to apply a Bio Sculpture Top Coat once a week just too add a glossy shine.Is there an artificial nail that looks like a natural nail?

What type of artificial nail is best?
I play baseball once a week and do a lot of things around home. I am wondering what type (acrylic, gel, silk) would be best. Also, for the gel it sounds like it is very hard to take off. Some people say can use acetone and some say that doesn't work. Is it different results depending on the gel that is used?
Thank you! :)What type of artificial nail is best?
You might do well with nail enhancements as long as you keep them short. Very short! I say this only because you play baseball, and to catch one of your nails on a ball or something while playing would most definitely hurt quite a bit. Short nails will help to minimize the chances of something like this this occuring in the first place.
Yes, it is true. UV gel nails cannot be removed with acetone. There is a type of gel called no-light gel, but I would not recommend it to anyone. It is not really the same as UV nail gels at all. UV nail gels are very closely related to acrylic nails as they are made from chemicals of the acrylic family. But no-light gels are made from a cyanoacrylate based formula. This is the same main ingredient found in Super Glue and other similar glues like Krazy Glue. It is also the main component in fiberglass, silk, and other nail wraps. But, being cyanoacrylate based, it does not create strong enhancements. They tend to break apart rather easily, and are affected by prolonged exposure to water. Nail wraps are great for people who have weak, and brittle nails. They are not recommended for people who are rough on their hands as they are much more fragile than any other type of nail enhancement. Wraps do look realistic when done correctly, and that's a good thing!
Back to gels, and acrylics. Acrylic nails are porous. This means that they readily absorb liquids of just about any type - including acetone. You have probably heard of people with acrylic nails who have complained of them being stained after wearing nail polish and removing it? Well, that is because they absorb the colors easily since they are a porous material. Acrylic nails are also very easy to apply polish to since it adheres well to the acrylic's porous materials. Thus, they can be easily soaked off in pure acetone. On the other hand, UV gel nails are non-porous. This means that they are not able to readily absorb liquids of any type, including acetone. So, you could soak UV gel nails in pure acetone literally for hours at a time, with little to no damage done to the nails. UV gel nails must be filed off. This is especially difficult to do, and do well. It takes a nail tech who is highly skilled, and who is also very experienced in the removal of UV gel nails. This is because it is difficult for an unskilled tech to tell the difference between the UV gels, and the natural nail. So, they may keep right on filing past the gels, and well into your natural nails, damaging them in the process - even causing severe damage and/or pain in some cases. Whatever you do, never do this - or let a tech do it. And that is to pry, tear, rip or otherwise force ANY type of nail enhancements off in any way. This happens way too often, especially in the cheap salons. Instead of spending the time to properly remove them, many will simply tear them off your nailsa with nail nippers, or even with a nail tip wedged in between the enhancement and your natural nail to pry them off. This is NOT the way to remove nails. Never do this or allow any tech to do it either. It WILL result in damage (sometimes severe damage) to your natural nails. And it will hurt quite a bit too. If a tech tries to do this to you, leave immediately. Don't let them do it. Always have nail enhancements removed properly. For acrylics, that means soaking in pure acetone. For UV gel nails, that means filing them off - slowly and carefully!
I hope this helps!What type of artificial nail is best?
It seems like if you are doing alot of things your artifical nails wont last very long, that was a problem for me
Acrylic is the most common kind of artifical nail, a full set usually costs about $20.00
Acrylic is easier to take off but you should never force the nails off, this could ruin your nail bed and if you do get the nails removed, give your natural nails a 2-week break
Gel is alil more expensive but is more pretty and more glamourous than acrylic and they last alot longer.
A silk wrap for your nails is beneficial for your nails and it helps them grow
You could always try a gel layover- they apply gel to your natural nails and it looks as if you are wearing tips but you're not.
Next time go to the nail salon and ask them to look over your nails to see what is best recommended for your nails
In the end it is your decision and dont let them pressure you into getting a certain thing done if thats not what you want-lol
Yes, gel is harder to take off so keep that in mind. Acetone and soaking your nails in nailpolish remover can help with the acrylic nails.
Good luck and I hope this helped! =]
