Gel Nail Polish Over Acrylic Nails

Gel nail polish over acrylic nails. Fannie V Garcia says. Gel nails are different to acrylic nails as they are not an extension of your natural nails instead they are a polish that can last for up to 2 weeks. Acrylic nails with gel polish will look great as will your natural nails and gel nail extensions.

What top coat should I put over painted acrylicsgels when I have used just normal nail polish. For the most part gel and acrylics will take a little more effort. The same rules apply you will need to make sure that you paint over the colour underneath to avoid it.

Once cured the layer of gel polish hardens and wont smudge like a regular nail polish. I did it only to extend the life of the color until I could go back to the salon. What does it look like.
