I fling mine around. Straight out of the tube for heavy texture. I dilute with water and spray from a sort of pastry bag for colour.
Just start playing around. Acrylic is a very forgiving medium; you can just keep adding paint until you're satisfied. You will find your style eventually. See if you can find a local artist to show you how they work. Etc.How to paint in acrylic?
You can get this stuff from Hobby Lobby that makes it last longer and makes it build better and makes it shiny and easier to spread. I can't remember what it's called! It's in a white container and it looks like a jar of peanut butter. It's very expensive, tho! You can use water, in the meantime. I hated acrylic because it dried too fast.How to paint in acrylic?
Quickly, with a brush always dipped in water first.

Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
I was looking at buying a painting, from http://www.overstockart.com , I noticed that they use oils in their paintings instead of acrylics, what's the difference, between oils and acrylics? What are the other materials that are used for paintings?Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
Oil paint is better. It can also be layered and layered, which is the method the old masters used (i.e. Rembrandt, Da Vince, etc)
It is, as stated, oil based. You cannot mix water with it.
Acrylic is a new plastic paint. You use water to thin and apply it instead of turpetine and other mediums.
Since you are just looking at a finished product, the medium it is painted with doesnt really matter since you don't have to worry about drying time or production time.Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
oil is oil based, thinned with turpentine and paint thinners,
acrylics (plastic)are water based thin with water, now half and half
watercolours are another

Generally, beginners use acrylics, experts use oil-paints. Acrylics dry quickly, so that u can overpaint ur creation many times, during one session. Oil-paints don't dry at all during one session. If u're interested in buying paint-works, then I'd suggest u to buy oil-paintings, bcoz it looks richer than acrylics (u know what ...it's due to the fact that oil paint vehicles can hold more pigment than can acrylic emulsions). Most companies that manufacture acrylic paints use less pure grades of pigment when making colors such as cadmium red and cadmium yellow. One company, Winsor %26amp; Newton, is now marketing a line of acrylic colors that are made from chemically pure pigments. It uses pure cadmium instead of the cadmium-barium pigment that most other companies use. Now u haven't mentioned what type of artworks u're planning to buy. If it's abstract / perspective then acrylic is good. But if it's portrait or still-life then oil-paints are better.
From my own understanding and experience, oil painting is the old and traditional medium of painting and it takes a while for it to dry hence the term slow-drying paint unless if you apply tempera (egg) technique. And heck, you need to use turpentine and maybe some thinner to dilute it and stuff. As for how it appears, its good when it come to blending, but with a cap H for Hassle and value for money.
And lo and behold, there is acrylic. Acrylic in contrary is a fast-dying paint and it just takes water to dilute it. You can use layers and layers of this paint and still looks fab. Acrylic is like PNG and oil painting is the JPEG of paint.
For more long winded answers you can check out the link below.
Kermit is right! If you like the painting buy it! The medium is academic. Oils is oils and acrylics are different as is watercolour. You should look to see if the artist is doing the medium justice. Some artists do not exploit the full potential of the medium - they use the paint to put colour onto the surface and do not build the work on the basis of the medium's characteristics/unique qualities. Even with the same subject, a good watercolour, or oil or acrylic work should be distinctly different.

Should I let me eleven year old daughter get acrylic nails? She says lots of girls her age have them.?
For one thing, she is too young to have them. Children need to be told no even if their friends have them. My fingernails are disfigured now from wearing them for 5 years. I do not recommend getting them to anyone. What will you say when she wants her belly button pierced at 12, birth control pills at 13 just because all her friends are doing it. Teach her some limits.Should I let me eleven year old daughter get acrylic nails? She says lots of girls her age have them.?
She is telling fibs! When I was eleven I was biting my nails and so were many others.
Don't pressurise her to become a tart as so many other parents are. Let her grow up when she's ready and not before.Should I let me eleven year old daughter get acrylic nails? She says lots of girls her age have them.?
If all the girls her age were jumping off cliffs you'd let her do it too?
No, of course you wouldn't.
Acrylic nails do weaken the natural nail, they hurt like anything if you catch them because they don't break they just pull at the skin. A young girl like that should be quite active and acrylic nails effect what sort of activities you can do and how well you can do them.
No, I think it's too much on an eleven year old.
You could let her grow her own nails and teach her how to do french manicures on them, and get her an airbrush nail kit for Christmas - they come with lots of designs and finishes - and just clean off with normal nail polish remover. Provides hours of fun for her and her friends, and teaches her how to care for her nails also.
Crazy to spend the money on them for a little girl who probably won't take care of them like an older girl would. Besides money, they grow up so fast, why give them one more way to 'look' older, right? I wouldn't do it, but thats my opinion.
She is a child, and artificial nails are for grown ups! ';Just because all the other girls have them'; is no excuse. Besides, how do you know for sure all the other girls have them? the ';But everyone else has them'; is the classic excuse used by kids to get someting done.
Please tell me your kidding??? If she said all her friends were jumping off cliffs would you let her do that too? I work in school office and I can tell you I have not seen one child with acrylic nails. Be a parent not a friend.
they wont damage her nails as such, but when they are removed or fall off, the nails are very tender and sore and she wont be able to do some things she enjoys as her nails will be brittle. i wanted false nails ever since i was 6, but my mum made me wait until i was 16. i think they are too grown for young girls, and can make them appear too grown up for their age. they need to have a proper childhood, without false nails, but thats just my opinion, its your decision to make.
I mean your the parent if you think she should have them, then get them if not then she will just have to wait till she's older. Or you can get the fake ones from the store lol
I vote no. They damage your nails real bad. plus this feeds into the whole everyone's doing it arguement. ';mom can i wear a mini skirt, everyone else is'; ';mom can I stay up til midnight everyone e;se is.'; NO way. plus i would ask ';who is a lot of girls.'; If you think on your own that it is ok, then i would ask her ';How are YOU going to pay for it?'; Make her earn the money. Don't just give her an allowance. those things are expensive to maintain. I say no until High school.
i wouldn't let her get them if i were you
It depends on you really. Not everyones children are the same at 11. And if you got her it as a one-off, like a christmas present or something then it's not going to damage her nails.
I used to get acrylics quite often but eventually came to the conclusion that yes they do look nice for a while, but they can be hard to keep clean, and will look scabby if you can't get an appointment with the nail technician to get them filled in regulary. It is also quite expensive to keep them up. Maybe not for an adult whose job requires good presentation, but for an 11 year old child yes.
Overall I don't see a problem with it, however I would keep it as a treat... not a regular thing.
not a flaming chance!
let her be 7 but if its pampering she wants most nail bars do child manicures which result in much the same look without the nails.
I think though. It is just a little step, but make sure she is paying for them. Because she will treat them better when shy realize how expensive good ones really are.
You are kidding, right?
NO............don't let your daughter grow too fast..I'm 23 and i'm a mom of 2 kids.Happily married and love my life,but now i think i grew up too fast and i missed out on so much....It's fun to be a kid..she's just being pressured but the little girls with the fake nails are going to be the ones pushing baby strollers in high school....NO,please NO!
NO..... sadly or youth is growing far to quickly. as a compromise take her to for a manicure.
In my opinion, NO.
1. you have to keep them up.
2. It ruines the nail underneath, makes them very weak
3. she is to young, you dont want her to grow up faster than she needs to
4. it's just a stage the other girls are going through and will end up going out of style in a month or so, so just tell her no
5. it's meant for teenagers or older
they can get pricy cause you have to get them filled as soon as your nails grow out. they can damage your nails also, if she picks them and doesn't wait to soak them off you can rip your nails up bad.
You also can get a fungus(happened to me) it makes your nails look horrible. there are also lots of other diseases you can get from nail salons even if there equipment is clean. Then you have to take antibiotics etc. ( believe me I worked in a salon for years.)
I would wait till Highschool.Plus they harbor lots of germs during cold and flu season if you don't clean under them well. And if they start to pull up from the top dirt and stuff gets caught underneath them. As a mother I would say no, and try to redirect her into another direction. maybe manicure stuff she can use at home. parifin dip for home.
I'm sure she will be mad, but its for her health.
I wouldnt because sometime these nails can damage youre perment nail. Why do kids want to grow up so fast?
NO WAY!!! She'd like you to believe that many other girls her age do, but I doubt that.
Time enough for that later on. Like, maybe 17 or 18. She needs to be a kid yet for a while.
sorry, i say NO! limits are limits and they need to learn that. plus.....they really can cause damage.....trust me, i know!
i wouldn't n if she did neways there would b a *** stomping
Whatever you can afford at this point in time against your 401K, you have 7 more years to go, before you can teach her what REAL life is about!
No! Your daughter is how old?
If you love your daughter and care for her dearly, I think you should teach her the importance of good taste and that having long finger nails doesn't make you a better person. Personally I think that acrylic nails are for grown ups.
Who's going to foot the bill?
Treat your girl to a girly night, just you and her. You can manicure and paint each others nails. That's so much fun.
Tell her that just because other girls of her age have them, doesn't necessarily mean she has to have them.
I used to use this phrase when I wanted a certain kind of mini skirt in the 80's, and I was lying. Non of my friends had it.
I would do it for her as long as they weren't to long. Now the downside is there expensive to keep up
sure!
it will not hurt her
she will enjoy it
lots of kids even her age get them done
do it with her
make it a mother/daughter day out
go out to lunch afterwards
I think so. It's not like a huge step. Lots of girls like to do stuff like that with their nails
I would, but i would make her work for them..get her nails done for her once and tell her if she wants to keep getting them filled then give her chores or something to earn keeping her nails being filled..it sounds weird but its what my mom did for me when i was that age and boy did i want them filled everytime and i knew i had to keep up with my grades and chores or whatever to get them..
yea! it's not that big of a deal. just go to the drug store and get some for her. they have lots of diffrent types and desings. they may also have little gem stick ons to put on them ;) .
i would. it's not like it's a tatto or something permenant. if she was my daughter i would go with her and make it a mother daughter date.

Does anyone know how to take off artificial nails that are ';gel'; and silk wrapped? (not acrylic nails)
Acetone should do the trick. Straight acetone, not polish remover with acetone in it, it's not strong enoughDoes anyone know how to take off artificial nails that are ';gel'; and silk wrapped? (not acrylic nails)
You will need to soak them off. You should be able to find the solution at Walmart near the nail polish removers.

Getting acrylics wth extremely short nails, can I still get them?
I am getting acrylcs in less than 2 days time, but my right pinky nail is extremely short. I mean, ridiculously short.
I'm estimating 0.5cm or not even here, and I'm concerned if I can still get one on that nail...because I urgently need them for a function the next day.
Hope somebody can help!Getting acrylics wth extremely short nails, can I still get them?
Yes you can have them done, but you will not be able to have them really long. You will do better with an Active Length. This is because the base of your nail bed has to be long enough to support the artifical nail. I do nail biters all the time and believe me they appreicate having the active length, its better then what they had, nothing. ;)Getting acrylics wth extremely short nails, can I still get them?
Yes, you'll still be able to have them done. Your nails have to be very short for the acrylic nails anyway so not a problem at all.
Absolutely. They will just put tips on and then overlay with acrylic

Working with liquid acrylic?
i want to make a model of a computer mouse, just like the original
my idea is making a mold of foam and using liquid acrylic in the mold
any ideas on what kind of foam i should use to make the mold, and how to work with the acrylic?
i have the project, but no idea on how to start :(Working with liquid acrylic?
It really depends on how much you want to spend on the project and the final use of the casting. In any case, I would avoid the use foam as a molding material. If you are only going to use the mold once, you might consider alginate (available from most hobby and craft stores for “life casting”) as it is fairly inexpensive. If you want to make many copies, consider silicone (see link). Acrylic and be hard to work with and can give you inconsistent results in poorly controlled work environments. You can also use candle wax or casting resin. You can find candle wax at hobby stores and casting resin at many model shops or at the link below (the site also contains some good instructions). Good luck!

Definitely you should try using Dual system forms from ysnails, you are going to get perfect nails with less effort and the best result. That's the easiest way for everyone. Good luck

How to take off Acrylic nails??
how do you take them off?? can i go to a nail salon and take have them take off my old acrylic nails and have them put new ones??How to take off Acrylic nails??
If you go to a salon, they can take them off and put new ones on or it might be easier if they just do a fill, depending how far they are grown out or if some are chipped or what. Or if you dont want new nails put on just soak your nails in acetone nail polish remover, i think that usually helps get them off. Hope this helps alittle.How to take off Acrylic nails??
DO NOT take them off yourself. Trust me, do not.
I tried to soak my nails in acetone, but all it did was take the polish off and only some of the acylic. Afterwards I tried to file off the leftover resude, but I just bruised my nail and it started to bleed. I ended up having to pay 10 dollars to get them taken off at a salon, and I am very glad I did, even though they gave me weird looks. It didn't hurt nearly as much, all they did was pop them off afterwards with special tools. Afterwards my nails were really brittle and weak though. This is a reason I would consider not get acrylics again, it became very painful. Three weeks later my nails still are pretty weak, this might actually because of the damage I did trying to take them off myself.
And you can have them put new ones on, or just get a fill.
Hope I helped :)
acetone based nail polish remover, or you can buy acrylic nail remover.
don't do it yourself! (it hurts!!), just go to the nail salon they'll remove them correctly and yes they'll put new ones, if you pay...duh.lol

What's the best acrylic brand?
All are pretty good they have different uses I use Duncan acrylics I am a ceramic artist but find they work well on most surfaces They blend and water wash well
Just my own preference You just need to have a reliable supplier then try many techniques with that I have had so many suppliers for all different brands close down then it is hard to get so I also use all my left overs but not on anything I wish to duplicate the design I hate running out and not finishing the jobWhat's the best acrylic brand?
Windsor %26amp; Newton
LiquitexWhat's the best acrylic brand?
No other brand even comes close to Golden.
It costs a little more than Graham or Liquitex but Liquitex is way over-priced anyway. Graham would be my second choice.
I hate golden....!.
but it all matters on what you are trying to achieve and if you want to use a full body paint........I strongly prefer liquitex...but then again I've mastered liquitex and don't like the colors I get with mixing golden.....so it's all a matter of what you develop a preference for... There is no true answer....it's like asking if you prefer coke over pepsi...it's all a matter of choice!
very simple, Golden.
The two kinds of acrylic paint that is favored by fine artists is liquitex and golden. Golden probably being the best. It has the best color fastness and pigment saturation.
good luck

most of my paintings are oil or oil over acrylic, but when the winter comes and the ventilating the studio gets tough , acrylics become the medium of choice.

Golden is what I consider the premier brand of acrylic, however if you don't want to pay Golden prices, you may want to go Liquitex or Winsor and Newton. If you want the best, professional grade is the way to go, but depending on what you're wanting to achieve you can probably get away with using student grade in some colors, or even exclusively at first. Chroma makes a great student-grade acrylic called A2 that I've found rivals some professional grade brands of the same colors in workability. The main problem you're going to run into with student grade paint is that the palette is much more limited (meaning fewer colors to choose from). You may also notice that the pigment strength isn't quite as strong, but again that varies from color to color and brand to brand. Remember that not all colors are the same in different brands, and in some cases, may even vary from tube to tube! Your best bet assuming you're just starting out is to play with small amounts of a few different brands and colors and see what works for you. I'm a professional and I use several different brands of acrylic depending on the results I'm looking for. My palette has developed slowly over time. What works fabulously for one artist may not work at all for another. Unfortunately there's no absolute answer. Just get out there and experiment! Happy painting!

How to paint in acrylic?
I fling mine around. Straight out of the tube for heavy texture. I dilute with water and spray from a sort of pastry bag for colour.
Just start playing around. Acrylic is a very forgiving medium; you can just keep adding paint until you're satisfied. You will find your style eventually. See if you can find a local artist to show you how they work. Etc.How to paint in acrylic?
You can get this stuff from Hobby Lobby that makes it last longer and makes it build better and makes it shiny and easier to spread. I can't remember what it's called! It's in a white container and it looks like a jar of peanut butter. It's very expensive, tho! You can use water, in the meantime. I hated acrylic because it dried too fast.How to paint in acrylic?

Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
I was looking at buying a painting, from http://www.overstockart.com , I noticed that they use oils in their paintings instead of acrylics, what's the difference, between oils and acrylics? What are the other materials that are used for paintings?Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
Oil paint is better. It can also be layered and layered, which is the method the old masters used (i.e. Rembrandt, Da Vince, etc)
It is, as stated, oil based. You cannot mix water with it.
Acrylic is a new plastic paint. You use water to thin and apply it instead of turpetine and other mediums.
Since you are just looking at a finished product, the medium it is painted with doesnt really matter since you don't have to worry about drying time or production time.Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
oil is oil based, thinned with turpentine and paint thinners,
acrylics (plastic)are water based thin with water, now half and half
watercolours are another
http://painting.about.com/od/allotherpai…
Generally, beginners use acrylics, experts use oil-paints. Acrylics dry quickly, so that u can overpaint ur creation many times, during one session. Oil-paints don't dry at all during one session. If u're interested in buying paint-works, then I'd suggest u to buy oil-paintings, bcoz it looks richer than acrylics (u know what ...it's due to the fact that oil paint vehicles can hold more pigment than can acrylic emulsions). Most companies that manufacture acrylic paints use less pure grades of pigment when making colors such as cadmium red and cadmium yellow. One company, Winsor %26amp; Newton, is now marketing a line of acrylic colors that are made from chemically pure pigments. It uses pure cadmium instead of the cadmium-barium pigment that most other companies use. Now u haven't mentioned what type of artworks u're planning to buy. If it's abstract / perspective then acrylic is good. But if it's portrait or still-life then oil-paints are better.
From my own understanding and experience, oil painting is the old and traditional medium of painting and it takes a while for it to dry hence the term slow-drying paint unless if you apply tempera (egg) technique. And heck, you need to use turpentine and maybe some thinner to dilute it and stuff. As for how it appears, its good when it come to blending, but with a cap H for Hassle and value for money.
And lo and behold, there is acrylic. Acrylic in contrary is a fast-dying paint and it just takes water to dilute it. You can use layers and layers of this paint and still looks fab. Acrylic is like PNG and oil painting is the JPEG of paint.
For more long winded answers you can check out the link below.
Kermit is right! If you like the painting buy it! The medium is academic. Oils is oils and acrylics are different as is watercolour. You should look to see if the artist is doing the medium justice. Some artists do not exploit the full potential of the medium - they use the paint to put colour onto the surface and do not build the work on the basis of the medium's characteristics/unique qualities. Even with the same subject, a good watercolour, or oil or acrylic work should be distinctly different.

Should I let me eleven year old daughter get acrylic nails? She says lots of girls her age have them.?
For one thing, she is too young to have them. Children need to be told no even if their friends have them. My fingernails are disfigured now from wearing them for 5 years. I do not recommend getting them to anyone. What will you say when she wants her belly button pierced at 12, birth control pills at 13 just because all her friends are doing it. Teach her some limits.Should I let me eleven year old daughter get acrylic nails? She says lots of girls her age have them.?
She is telling fibs! When I was eleven I was biting my nails and so were many others.
Don't pressurise her to become a tart as so many other parents are. Let her grow up when she's ready and not before.Should I let me eleven year old daughter get acrylic nails? She says lots of girls her age have them.?
If all the girls her age were jumping off cliffs you'd let her do it too?
No, of course you wouldn't.
Acrylic nails do weaken the natural nail, they hurt like anything if you catch them because they don't break they just pull at the skin. A young girl like that should be quite active and acrylic nails effect what sort of activities you can do and how well you can do them.
No, I think it's too much on an eleven year old.
You could let her grow her own nails and teach her how to do french manicures on them, and get her an airbrush nail kit for Christmas - they come with lots of designs and finishes - and just clean off with normal nail polish remover. Provides hours of fun for her and her friends, and teaches her how to care for her nails also.
Crazy to spend the money on them for a little girl who probably won't take care of them like an older girl would. Besides money, they grow up so fast, why give them one more way to 'look' older, right? I wouldn't do it, but thats my opinion.
She is a child, and artificial nails are for grown ups! ';Just because all the other girls have them'; is no excuse. Besides, how do you know for sure all the other girls have them? the ';But everyone else has them'; is the classic excuse used by kids to get someting done.
Please tell me your kidding??? If she said all her friends were jumping off cliffs would you let her do that too? I work in school office and I can tell you I have not seen one child with acrylic nails. Be a parent not a friend.
they wont damage her nails as such, but when they are removed or fall off, the nails are very tender and sore and she wont be able to do some things she enjoys as her nails will be brittle. i wanted false nails ever since i was 6, but my mum made me wait until i was 16. i think they are too grown for young girls, and can make them appear too grown up for their age. they need to have a proper childhood, without false nails, but thats just my opinion, its your decision to make.
I mean your the parent if you think she should have them, then get them if not then she will just have to wait till she's older. Or you can get the fake ones from the store lol
I vote no. They damage your nails real bad. plus this feeds into the whole everyone's doing it arguement. ';mom can i wear a mini skirt, everyone else is'; ';mom can I stay up til midnight everyone e;se is.'; NO way. plus i would ask ';who is a lot of girls.'; If you think on your own that it is ok, then i would ask her ';How are YOU going to pay for it?'; Make her earn the money. Don't just give her an allowance. those things are expensive to maintain. I say no until High school.
i wouldn't let her get them if i were you
It depends on you really. Not everyones children are the same at 11. And if you got her it as a one-off, like a christmas present or something then it's not going to damage her nails.
I used to get acrylics quite often but eventually came to the conclusion that yes they do look nice for a while, but they can be hard to keep clean, and will look scabby if you can't get an appointment with the nail technician to get them filled in regulary. It is also quite expensive to keep them up. Maybe not for an adult whose job requires good presentation, but for an 11 year old child yes.
Overall I don't see a problem with it, however I would keep it as a treat... not a regular thing.
not a flaming chance!
let her be 7 but if its pampering she wants most nail bars do child manicures which result in much the same look without the nails.
I think though. It is just a little step, but make sure she is paying for them. Because she will treat them better when shy realize how expensive good ones really are.
You are kidding, right?
NO............don't let your daughter grow too fast..I'm 23 and i'm a mom of 2 kids.Happily married and love my life,but now i think i grew up too fast and i missed out on so much....It's fun to be a kid..she's just being pressured but the little girls with the fake nails are going to be the ones pushing baby strollers in high school....NO,please NO!
NO..... sadly or youth is growing far to quickly. as a compromise take her to for a manicure.
In my opinion, NO.
1. you have to keep them up.
2. It ruines the nail underneath, makes them very weak
3. she is to young, you dont want her to grow up faster than she needs to
4. it's just a stage the other girls are going through and will end up going out of style in a month or so, so just tell her no
5. it's meant for teenagers or older
they can get pricy cause you have to get them filled as soon as your nails grow out. they can damage your nails also, if she picks them and doesn't wait to soak them off you can rip your nails up bad.
You also can get a fungus(happened to me) it makes your nails look horrible. there are also lots of other diseases you can get from nail salons even if there equipment is clean. Then you have to take antibiotics etc. ( believe me I worked in a salon for years.)
I would wait till Highschool.Plus they harbor lots of germs during cold and flu season if you don't clean under them well. And if they start to pull up from the top dirt and stuff gets caught underneath them. As a mother I would say no, and try to redirect her into another direction. maybe manicure stuff she can use at home. parifin dip for home.
I'm sure she will be mad, but its for her health.
I wouldnt because sometime these nails can damage youre perment nail. Why do kids want to grow up so fast?
NO WAY!!! She'd like you to believe that many other girls her age do, but I doubt that.
Time enough for that later on. Like, maybe 17 or 18. She needs to be a kid yet for a while.
sorry, i say NO! limits are limits and they need to learn that. plus.....they really can cause damage.....trust me, i know!
i wouldn't n if she did neways there would b a *** stomping
Whatever you can afford at this point in time against your 401K, you have 7 more years to go, before you can teach her what REAL life is about!
No! Your daughter is how old?
If you love your daughter and care for her dearly, I think you should teach her the importance of good taste and that having long finger nails doesn't make you a better person. Personally I think that acrylic nails are for grown ups.
Who's going to foot the bill?
Treat your girl to a girly night, just you and her. You can manicure and paint each others nails. That's so much fun.
Tell her that just because other girls of her age have them, doesn't necessarily mean she has to have them.
I used to use this phrase when I wanted a certain kind of mini skirt in the 80's, and I was lying. Non of my friends had it.
I would do it for her as long as they weren't to long. Now the downside is there expensive to keep up
sure!
it will not hurt her
she will enjoy it
lots of kids even her age get them done
do it with her
make it a mother/daughter day out
go out to lunch afterwards
I think so. It's not like a huge step. Lots of girls like to do stuff like that with their nails
I would, but i would make her work for them..get her nails done for her once and tell her if she wants to keep getting them filled then give her chores or something to earn keeping her nails being filled..it sounds weird but its what my mom did for me when i was that age and boy did i want them filled everytime and i knew i had to keep up with my grades and chores or whatever to get them..
yea! it's not that big of a deal. just go to the drug store and get some for her. they have lots of diffrent types and desings. they may also have little gem stick ons to put on them ;) .
i would. it's not like it's a tatto or something permenant. if she was my daughter i would go with her and make it a mother daughter date.

Does anyone know how to take off artificial nails that are ';gel'; and silk wrapped? (not acrylic nails)
Acetone should do the trick. Straight acetone, not polish remover with acetone in it, it's not strong enoughDoes anyone know how to take off artificial nails that are ';gel'; and silk wrapped? (not acrylic nails)
You will need to soak them off. You should be able to find the solution at Walmart near the nail polish removers.

Getting acrylics wth extremely short nails, can I still get them?
I am getting acrylcs in less than 2 days time, but my right pinky nail is extremely short. I mean, ridiculously short.
I'm estimating 0.5cm or not even here, and I'm concerned if I can still get one on that nail...because I urgently need them for a function the next day.
Hope somebody can help!Getting acrylics wth extremely short nails, can I still get them?
Yes you can have them done, but you will not be able to have them really long. You will do better with an Active Length. This is because the base of your nail bed has to be long enough to support the artifical nail. I do nail biters all the time and believe me they appreicate having the active length, its better then what they had, nothing. ;)Getting acrylics wth extremely short nails, can I still get them?
Yes, you'll still be able to have them done. Your nails have to be very short for the acrylic nails anyway so not a problem at all.
Absolutely. They will just put tips on and then overlay with acrylic
I'm estimating 0.5cm or not even here, and I'm concerned if I can still get one on that nail...because I urgently need them for a function the next day.
Hope somebody can help!Getting acrylics wth extremely short nails, can I still get them?
Yes you can have them done, but you will not be able to have them really long. You will do better with an Active Length. This is because the base of your nail bed has to be long enough to support the artifical nail. I do nail biters all the time and believe me they appreicate having the active length, its better then what they had, nothing. ;)Getting acrylics wth extremely short nails, can I still get them?

Acrylic Plastic glass??
I need to know the BEST way to cut acrylic glass.
I bought a cutter to scratch it. I heard that I have to scratch it enough then bend the part off.
Well tried it, and everytime i try to cut a small piece froma big sheet the small piece cracks in da middle and the sheet ends up cracking
Please help me. It's for a project due tomorrow!!!
What is the best way to cut or get a small piece from a big piece of acrylic plastic glass??Acrylic Plastic glass??
There is a special scoring tool to cut sheets of acrylic (some brands are Plexiglas and Lucite) at hardware stores that cost only a few bucks, but you can also score them with the back of a utility knife blade (best to leave the paper or plastic covering on, if it's there or put down a length of masking tape over the line you'll want to cut, then score through it).
If you're using a plexiglas cutter (not a scoring tool for real *glass*), then you may just not be scoring deeply enough (can go over several times too), or you may not be supporting one side of the sheet well enough or close enough to the edge of a table/etc when you try to snap it apart, or you may not be snapping it downward quite right... or you just may not have practiced a bit to get the feel before doing your large piece. (Also, to use a scoring tool instead of a saw, the acrylic sheet should be thinner than 1/4';.)
You can read various ways and tools to use for scoring then breaking acrylic sheets on these pages:

A very fine tooth saw is the only was to cut acrylic, also known as pexi glass. If not, it will always crack like you found out.
Use a saw. For little parts, the whole scoring and bending thing never works very well.best antivirus software

If you use acrylics,for clouds,do you use tools for blending clouds other than a brush-like blend w/a sponge?
Since painting is a creative art, you can use whatever you feel will create the tone or expression you want to have on your painting.
Remember that what you are doing is an original idea from you, so whatever you decide to use will be perfect. You can mix media, brushes, pallette knives, sponges, cloth, even sometimes you can get the desired effect by cutting a potato or carrot and printing on your canvas with it. Be totally original for whatever you do is completely your's.
If some people like it and others critisize, so what ! It is your expression any way you want it to be.
Dont be shy about using whatever you like.
You'll do fine.If you use acrylics,for clouds,do you use tools for blending clouds other than a brush-like blend w/a sponge?
Acrylics can be worked with a brush, a palette knife, or any number of different tools. The key is to work quickly while the acrylic is wet and blend wet into wet.If you use acrylics,for clouds,do you use tools for blending clouds other than a brush-like blend w/a sponge?
i personally use just brushes; you can do about anything using all the sizes of brushes. i also sometimes, rarely use my fingers. you can try using a clean, dry brush or a clean, wet brush.

I am considering getting acrylic/gel fingernails this weekend at a classy salon. Bad idea??
No real reason for doing it except i think it looks nice with a french manicure and it would make me feel pretty. also, i think it would be nice to scratch my boyfriends back for him. also think it looks sexy. but, i had it a long time ago (ten plus years ago) and i know it destroys your nails and gets expensive - so i think i will only do it for summertime and take them off in october... dumb idea??I am considering getting acrylic/gel fingernails this weekend at a classy salon. Bad idea??
As a former nail tech, I would advise that you think carefully about having this done. As you mentioned, there is the upkeep, expense, and time for your natural nails to recover. A better idea would be to spend less money and have your natural nails done weekly with a french manicure. There are products that promote the strength and growth of nails. If you decide you can't live without them, gel nails are not as harsh on your natural nails; however, they require the same upkeep and still cause damage to the natural nails. Acrylic and gel nails can leave permanent damage, such as dips in the nailbeds.I am considering getting acrylic/gel fingernails this weekend at a classy salon. Bad idea??
Yes it is--my daughter was doing it regularly--and had to have her nails removed surgically--the real ones. Acrylics tear off the layers of your natural nails.
well the nails aren't going to last that long anyways.
Natural is cuter.
I do it for me. It makes me feel good and I think my nails look awful with out them. If they make you feel good, go for it!
If i was you i would go to the classy salon and have them shaped.Or is it a bad idea?HUM then you can get a manicure to for the cost of less.And still have them real.But if it makes you feel pretty go for it .
No, as long as you take them off with a pro. NEVER do it yourself. I have had them about 5 years and wouldnt dream of taking them off.
Acrylic nails can be pretty, but also costly to be kept up with. I normally only get them during the fall, winter, and spring. During summer, most people are in pools and jacuzzi's. The water makes them incredibly soft and breakable. You'll be at the salon possibly once a week getting them fixed.
no, not if you like them. I know a lot of people that have had them multiple times and their nails arent destroyed. they might not be as strong as other people's nails, but they are functional =]

Tumble dry sweater? 40% acrylic 60% cotton?
Is it okay to dry this in my dryer or will it get ruined? (I am not worried about shrinking, I just don't wanted it to damage the sweater). Or should I air-dry it every time?Tumble dry sweater? 40% acrylic 60% cotton?
You can use low heat or air dry if you have that setting if you are unsure.
I sometimes crochet with 100% acrylic yarn and always wash my items on warm and tumble dry on regular heat setting. It make the acrylic soft and I have never had a problem with shrinkage or with anything getting ruined.Tumble dry sweater? 40% acrylic 60% cotton?
I would not recommend drying it in the dryer. I have had my sweaters not only shrink a little but they became mis-shaped and short. Always air dry or take to a dry cleaners.
You might be able to dry it. I probably would, if you do be sure to dry it on a low heat/ gentle setting.

How to take off Acrylic nails??
how do you take them off?? can i go to a nail salon and take have them take off my old acrylic nails and have them put new ones??How to take off Acrylic nails??
If you go to a salon, they can take them off and put new ones on or it might be easier if they just do a fill, depending how far they are grown out or if some are chipped or what. Or if you dont want new nails put on just soak your nails in acetone nail polish remover, i think that usually helps get them off. Hope this helps alittle.How to take off Acrylic nails??
DO NOT take them off yourself. Trust me, do not.
I tried to soak my nails in acetone, but all it did was take the polish off and only some of the acylic. Afterwards I tried to file off the leftover resude, but I just bruised my nail and it started to bleed. I ended up having to pay 10 dollars to get them taken off at a salon, and I am very glad I did, even though they gave me weird looks. It didn't hurt nearly as much, all they did was pop them off afterwards with special tools. Afterwards my nails were really brittle and weak though. This is a reason I would consider not get acrylics again, it became very painful. Three weeks later my nails still are pretty weak, this might actually because of the damage I did trying to take them off myself.
And you can have them put new ones on, or just get a fill.
Hope I helped :)
acetone based nail polish remover, or you can buy acrylic nail remover.
don't do it yourself! (it hurts!!), just go to the nail salon they'll remove them correctly and yes they'll put new ones, if you pay...duh.lol

What's the best acrylic brand?
All are pretty good they have different uses I use Duncan acrylics I am a ceramic artist but find they work well on most surfaces They blend and water wash well
Just my own preference You just need to have a reliable supplier then try many techniques with that I have had so many suppliers for all different brands close down then it is hard to get so I also use all my left overs but not on anything I wish to duplicate the design I hate running out and not finishing the jobWhat's the best acrylic brand?
Windsor %26amp; Newton
LiquitexWhat's the best acrylic brand?
No other brand even comes close to Golden.
It costs a little more than Graham or Liquitex but Liquitex is way over-priced anyway. Graham would be my second choice.
I hate golden....!.
but it all matters on what you are trying to achieve and if you want to use a full body paint........I strongly prefer liquitex...but then again I've mastered liquitex and don't like the colors I get with mixing golden.....so it's all a matter of what you develop a preference for... There is no true answer....it's like asking if you prefer coke over pepsi...it's all a matter of choice!
very simple, Golden.
The two kinds of acrylic paint that is favored by fine artists is liquitex and golden. Golden probably being the best. It has the best color fastness and pigment saturation.
good luck

Golden is what I consider the premier brand of acrylic, however if you don't want to pay Golden prices, you may want to go Liquitex or Winsor and Newton. If you want the best, professional grade is the way to go, but depending on what you're wanting to achieve you can probably get away with using student grade in some colors, or even exclusively at first. Chroma makes a great student-grade acrylic called A2 that I've found rivals some professional grade brands of the same colors in workability. The main problem you're going to run into with student grade paint is that the palette is much more limited (meaning fewer colors to choose from). You may also notice that the pigment strength isn't quite as strong, but again that varies from color to color and brand to brand. Remember that not all colors are the same in different brands, and in some cases, may even vary from tube to tube! Your best bet assuming you're just starting out is to play with small amounts of a few different brands and colors and see what works for you. I'm a professional and I use several different brands of acrylic depending on the results I'm looking for. My palette has developed slowly over time. What works fabulously for one artist may not work at all for another. Unfortunately there's no absolute answer. Just get out there and experiment! Happy painting!

How to paint in acrylic?
I fling mine around. Straight out of the tube for heavy texture. I dilute with water and spray from a sort of pastry bag for colour.
Just start playing around. Acrylic is a very forgiving medium; you can just keep adding paint until you're satisfied. You will find your style eventually. See if you can find a local artist to show you how they work. Etc.How to paint in acrylic?
You can get this stuff from Hobby Lobby that makes it last longer and makes it build better and makes it shiny and easier to spread. I can't remember what it's called! It's in a white container and it looks like a jar of peanut butter. It's very expensive, tho! You can use water, in the meantime. I hated acrylic because it dried too fast.How to paint in acrylic?

Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
I was looking at buying a painting, from http://www.overstockart.com , I noticed that they use oils in their paintings instead of acrylics, what's the difference, between oils and acrylics? What are the other materials that are used for paintings?Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
Oil paint is better. It can also be layered and layered, which is the method the old masters used (i.e. Rembrandt, Da Vince, etc)
It is, as stated, oil based. You cannot mix water with it.
Acrylic is a new plastic paint. You use water to thin and apply it instead of turpetine and other mediums.
Since you are just looking at a finished product, the medium it is painted with doesnt really matter since you don't have to worry about drying time or production time.Oil Paintings - What is the difference between acrylics and oil paintings?
oil is oil based, thinned with turpentine and paint thinners,
acrylics (plastic)are water based thin with water, now half and half
watercolours are another

Generally, beginners use acrylics, experts use oil-paints. Acrylics dry quickly, so that u can overpaint ur creation many times, during one session. Oil-paints don't dry at all during one session. If u're interested in buying paint-works, then I'd suggest u to buy oil-paintings, bcoz it looks richer than acrylics (u know what ...it's due to the fact that oil paint vehicles can hold more pigment than can acrylic emulsions). Most companies that manufacture acrylic paints use less pure grades of pigment when making colors such as cadmium red and cadmium yellow. One company, Winsor %26amp; Newton, is now marketing a line of acrylic colors that are made from chemically pure pigments. It uses pure cadmium instead of the cadmium-barium pigment that most other companies use. Now u haven't mentioned what type of artworks u're planning to buy. If it's abstract / perspective then acrylic is good. But if it's portrait or still-life then oil-paints are better.
From my own understanding and experience, oil painting is the old and traditional medium of painting and it takes a while for it to dry hence the term slow-drying paint unless if you apply tempera (egg) technique. And heck, you need to use turpentine and maybe some thinner to dilute it and stuff. As for how it appears, its good when it come to blending, but with a cap H for Hassle and value for money.
And lo and behold, there is acrylic. Acrylic in contrary is a fast-dying paint and it just takes water to dilute it. You can use layers and layers of this paint and still looks fab. Acrylic is like PNG and oil painting is the JPEG of paint.
For more long winded answers you can check out the link below.
Kermit is right! If you like the painting buy it! The medium is academic. Oils is oils and acrylics are different as is watercolour. You should look to see if the artist is doing the medium justice. Some artists do not exploit the full potential of the medium - they use the paint to put colour onto the surface and do not build the work on the basis of the medium's characteristics/unique qualities. Even with the same subject, a good watercolour, or oil or acrylic work should be distinctly different.

Fabric Paint vs Acrylic paint?
If i want to paint for my shirt and i want it to be permanent last for at least 2 to 3 years before it start fade away. Which paint should i choose? If possible please tell me the reasons. ThankYouFabric Paint vs Acrylic paint?
I have hand painted shirts myself. I used Folk Art acrylics. I also added textile medium to the paint on the palette before applying the paint to the shirt. The shirts I have done have lasted years. One thing I do, though, is I don't throw the painted shirts in the clothes dryer - I hang them dry. It keeps the paint from drying and flaking. I also turn painted clothing inside out if I do throw it in the dryer. The paint will not come into contact with the hot interior of the dryer which will make it flake and peel.Fabric Paint vs Acrylic paint?
A lot of shirts I've seen that use fabric paint start to deteriorate after a semishort while, like 6-8 months or so. I haven't used acrylics for shirts, but I have for canvas. You can thin them out, or use them thickly, but the reason I think they would be better is because you can also use them as screenprint ink. THey're also waterproof when dry and mostly permanent, at least in paintings. Do yourself a favor and buy some good acrylics, like Liquitex Basics. It's what professional artists use.
I have hand painted shirts myself. I used Folk Art acrylics. I also added textile medium to the paint on the palette before applying the paint to the shirt. The shirts I have done have lasted years. One thing I do, though, is I don't throw the painted shirts in the clothes dryer - I hang them dry. It keeps the paint from drying and flaking. I also turn painted clothing inside out if I do throw it in the dryer.

Because Gel Nails Have Less Harmful Chemicals , They Are Way better For Your Natural Nails And Nail Beds (Under Your Nails; They Help Promote Healthy Nails.)
The Chemicals In Acrylic Nails 'Eat' Away At Your Nail Beds And Destroy Them .
Honestly ,, You Do Not Want Acrylic Nails ,, They Turn Yellowish , They Break And Chip .. Its Gross .
Also My Auntie Had Them For 2 Months Only And I Had To Repair The Damage Including Fungi In Her Nail Beds .
Please , Get The Gel Nails .
Besides , Gel Nails Have Different Colored Tips And Look Better .
Gel Nails Can Look Natural Or If You Want Them To LOOK Completely Faux ,, You Can Have Them Airbrushed Which Gives Them The Appearance You May Like .
Pick gel. It's UV gel, so after they put it on, you stick you're hands in this light thing. LOL, I don't know what to call it, but anyways, there's like no nasty fumes like acrylic. It's much nicer %26amp; when you take them off, you're nails won't look demented. I love gel nails! they're awesome.
I'm 16 and I get acrylic nails. I tried the gel nails and they were really bad just trust me lol. If you get the acrylic nails, to maintain them, you need a fill-in about every 2 weeks to keep them on =)
Go with the gel. They look better, last longer, and when/if you decide to take them off they cause less damage to your actual nail. It's worth the extra couple bucks.
Gel. In my experience they last longer and cause less damage to your nail.
Gel is so much better than acrylic!
Acrylic are disasters, they break, dis colour and get very un atractive. Gel is a great look that lasts longer and looks better :)

Steel, glass, or acrylic ear plugs?
i'm in the process of stretching my ears and i was wondering if i should use steel, glass, or acrylic ear plugs, or other materials.
Thanks!
don't bother if you have something negative to say about ear stretching.Steel, glass, or acrylic ear plugs?
I use steel for mine. Its the best! and better generally. I should imagine glass would be too if you kept it clean enough.
After its all healed and youve got it to the gauge you want acrylic could be good. :)Steel, glass, or acrylic ear plugs?
You need either steel or glass for the healing. They can be sterilized which is essential for healing piercings, where as acrylic can not be.
If you're just getting them stretched I suggest you use plastic ones at first, then when it's healed moved on to one of the others =D
Surgical Steel is the best.best antivirus software

Major problem with Acrylic nails!!?
Well i just went and got acrylics put on by a proffesional- then i came home and diddnt really like them and i have contact lenses and i have no idea what im going to do about that and yeah. What do i do? how can i get them off????Major problem with Acrylic nails!!?
i have acrylic nails and contacts, its easy just use your finger part, and bend them so your nail doesnt touch your eye.
its hard to explain, but you will get it
for the acrylic nails, youll just have to wait, use a remover, or go back to a profesional .
sorry for the late response, i hope i helpped! :)Major problem with Acrylic nails!!?
Clarify please--get the contacts off or the acrylic nails off? If it is the nails, just use acetone Pure acetone if you have it since it will be a lot more efficient). If it is the contacts, try swiping a q-tip at the edge of the contact to ';pull'; it away from the eye so that you don't have to use your nails. Sorry for not quite understanding your question.

Sould i get acrylic nails...my nails r short and weak?
No. Acrylic nails will actually make your nails more weak because you will have to rip them off eventually and the glue is unhealthy for your nails.Sould i get acrylic nails...my nails r short and weak?
Get manicures and buy nail hardeners or thickener. Also your health and diet can show on your nails. You may not be getting enough calcium or proteins. And use gloves when using harsh chemicals (example dish washing liquids can dry and damage nails whether they're natural or acrylics). Try O.P.I.'s Nail Envy or Brucci Hardener(sold in Sally Beauty store) start with 2 coats and then one every day after that. Try to keep it on along as you can because Nail Polish Removers dry out the nail if used too much.Non-Acetone removers are less harsh. Have fun!Good Luck!Sould i get acrylic nails...my nails r short and weak?
If you want to get married with the maintenance that it takes and the cost, yes.
They look very cool, but it will damage you own even more
LADIES, -TEENS I used to have a nail business, so i know. LOL....acrylic nails are wonderful...nail tips, full nails you glue on.
first of all if you don't have a friend that does her own nails. go and have the nails put on. french tips are really pretty. watch asthey do your nails. as they place your nail over your old nail. your natural nail has to be buffed a little, so the glue will stick. then get alcahol and wash your nail . this prevents fungus. also doing your own nailes are fun. remember get then the right length that you can work with. i used to wear very long ones but then i had been doing them for a long time.place the glueon the nail underside, just a drop. slide the nail from top down then lift, and quickl;y replace it on nail . coverage of glue on nail is very important. after nails has become attached turn your hand over and place a dot of glue under the nail close to skin. you must seal these nails from water. its so easy your little sister has already done them,,,,lol i was in busniess when it first become popular, and it cost alot... also you can get nail hardner. but if your not one of these people that can grow nice strong nails. then go with the nails. becareful not to pull or pry off your nail if you want them off. soak them in polish remover. asatone. they will come off easy. follow good instructions on nails. always give your nails a good feeding after you have removed your nails...feeding them vitiames you put on your nail. let them rest for a good week. and you will do fine. if you can grow your nails, pretty, but they break get a gel coating on them. this works well.
good luck, and have fun, thats what it is all about/....
Acrylic nails look nice, but if you decide to remove them, your nails will be even more weak.
After the fake ones come off, your real nails will be even worse. Do you feel like going every other week, does your budget allow it?
you can my mom has them and they're look good and cute!!!
But you shouldn't get them if you work with your hands like when your opening the car door you can break one!!!
the curlic ones are really cool and cute!!!
NO acrylic nails will damage your nails worse,........
Go to a Beauty Supply store and get this product called ';Nail Life'; its a clear polish that helps nails get strong and grow...
It worked AWESOME for me and my sister......she hasn't gone back to fake nails
yes. i love the way acrylic naills look.
nope it might do damage to your nails my brothers girlfriend had it on once and it took out her nails it was so gross
Absolutely NOT!!!! I, too, have weak nails, and I'm here to tell you that acrylic nails will only make them WEAKER.
To put these acrylic nails on, the tech first has to take a file and file the TOP of your nail bed to roughen the surface so that the acrylic can adhere... the problem with this is that it takes off precious layers of your nails, and if you ever want to take them off, they RIP them off with a tool that THAT takes off even MORE of your own nail...
I suggest you invest in some strengthening products, Sally Hansen has a line of things that work very well. Also, increase your intake of calcium, and you might try taking gelatin pills to strengthen your nails.
But, PLEASE don't get acrylic nails. They will look good for a while, but they ruin your real nails, are expensive to keep up (every two weeks you have to get a ';fill';), and they're just not worth it, in my opinion.
In my opinion, acrylic nails are really gross. Make sure you're eating properly with a good amount of protein and mostly fruits and vegetables. Vitamin E is also good for nail health.
yeahh!! acrylics aree so cute i had them because i bite my nails a lot and once u take them off your nails grow so they wont be short anymore ... just one tip dont get them too long u wont be able to do anything !

Oh my gosh. acrylic nails ruined my natrul nails?
I had acrylics for about 5 weeks. I just took them off like 10 min ago. My natrual nails look like crap. I am like oh my gosh. What can I do to help them grow out. I went to a really good salon that uses the EMA acrylic not MMA acrylic but it still f'd up my nails. What should I do? HELPOh my gosh. acrylic nails ruined my natrul nails?
I had this exact problem a few years ago and I will never get those nails again. They ate my real nails up. With a fungus and bumps and dis colored on every one. Some were worse than others. Especially my thumb nails. I was told by an infectious disease Dr. that I would lose my nails...They looked awful. i had told my person my nails were kinds hurting....he said they were fine and kept going over them every week.......Till I finally had them removed and couldn't believe what I saw.....I was put on a script of Lamisil Pill....which AFTER my insurance paid their part.....Were still very expensive.....Still I ended up using Lamisil Cream on a regular basis. It helped me a lot. I had to use it for a long time.....Within a year my nails started doing better. The Dr. was very surprised. NOW.....since I started taking B12 vitamins every day. My hair AND nails are growing beautifully. especially my nails....Which I polish and take care of all by myself......o I recommend B12 and Lamisil Cream......Your nails will be fine.Oh my gosh. acrylic nails ruined my natrul nails?
never use again complain to salon or ask salon if they know any products that would medicate your nails!
By some natural nail products and never get the the fake nails again cause they messed up my nails 2.They have somenail stuff u paint on and its clear and its clear,but it helps the nails 2 grow.
You will have to let them grow out. Trim them as they grow. Once all that part that was ever under acrylic surface is gone they will be OK again. Salons usually roughen up the surface of the nail in order for the acrylic to stay better. So you'll have to wait till that grows out. The good news is that nails recover pretty well. You can carefully buff them now, but make sure you don't buff them too hard because now they are pretty thin.
it depends how you took them off you should have let your nails soak in nail polish remover until they came off in the liquid
now you just have to let them be their gonna be fragile and just go get a manicure theyll help you alittle
i would say dont get any acrylic nails because if you have them on to long you get a fongus underneath them on your nail
taking prenatal vitamins will help both your hair and your nails grow strong and healthy. they might make you naucious tho...
this is because acrylics only do damage to your nails, which will only start a vicious cycle of using them to cover up your nails. I'd suggest getting a manicure every 2 weeks or so, it's much healthier
I had the same problem and I used a buffing shining nail file and then I put nail harden on.
then either stop gettin acrylic or go to a salon that uses MMA acrylic...duh
Happens to me all the time, they will go back to normal....well at least mine always do! I take hair, nail, and skin vitamins and those seem to do the trick. I also put so polish on them to strengthen them and help them to grow! Hang in there....they will get better every week!
I did the same thing. I had to buy some strong clear nail polish and polish them all the time, and keep my nails really short for a year, the nail beds looked like they would never recover, but they finally did. I will never get fake nails again.
I got fake nails once, and I shouldn't have, because I naturally have nice, strong nails anyway. When the acrylics came off, my nails were TERRIBLE! I had to wait for them to completely grow out again. I'll never get fake nails again.
My best advice would be to just trim them regularly and wait.
Good luck!
Are you sure they took off all the glue?
They will grow out and be normal again. It's because they shave off the top layer of your nail to make the glue for the acrylic nail to stick to your natural nail.
go to the beauty supply store and ask for nail glue remover it will make your nails look just like they did before the fake nails believe me I had the same problem before of yeah don't rub this stuff on soak your nails in it then buff like crazy it works
That happen to me too, I just have to let them grow out. Will never do that again.

QUICK! fake nails/acrylic?
Ok i got my nails on the first week of sep. and have gotten them filled every 2 weeks like they said
Now my real nails underneath are almost to the end of my fake ones
Is it suppossed to happen this quick? and do i need a new set or should they keep filling them?QUICK! fake nails/acrylic?
When you go back next time for a fill, they ought to take their little spinning grinder thing and grind off your own (growing) nails which are underneath the fake ones. I sometimes let my nails go a bit longer than two weeks. Nails do grow fast. Next time you need a new set, make sure they trim your own nails down pretty close before they glue on the tips. BEST WISHES.QUICK! fake nails/acrylic?
yes, it is normal for them to be there. You should probably get a new set soon. Hope I helped.
My mom has been a nail tech for over 20 years, %26amp; you can leave them the same length as your real nails, having the acrylic nails over them will help make them stronger %26amp; help prevent them from breaking as easy.
I would have them keep filing them (unless you want longer nails, then let them grow until they are where you like them)
You DO NOT have to get them replaced every month 1/2 like some people here have said, I would get a new set about once a year, or if you see fungis or air bubbles under, or have a lot of lifting problems.
Best of luck!
yes it happens that quick, well it depends how fast yor nails grow. and no you dont need a new set, that is the point of the refill to not have them grow out. But when you take them fake nails off your real nails will be realy weak and brittle.
that happened to me. Just get them filled the people who fill them should take care of it. If not you could get a new set, or start taking vitamin C it will make your nail a ton stronger and your can have your real ones done.

Cylindrical aquarium acrylic!?
What is the maximum height for a cylindrical aquarium which is 26 inches in Diameter and is 8 mm thick. Cell Cast acrylic quality. It is a DIY project. It should not break !Cylindrical aquarium acrylic!?
Probably about 15'; as commercial acrylic aquaria use thicker grades on tanks over 100L.
I had a 45L hex tank that was 8mm thick but only 11'; across at 24'; tall - your tank will be four times the volume per unit height.best antivirus software

It is TOXIC, not FATAL...
hmmm it probably is. I think the one you have you might actually have to have a one of those masks things you use to cover your mouth and nose. If your using the paint to paint the whole body of it id recommed youd use a spray paint.
Well, i'm not sure though, but i got headaches when i sniffed it..
so yeh...Is Tamiya Acrylic paint TOXIC?
Yes: It contains isopropahol and glycol ethers as well as carcinogens.
It CLEARLY states on the label to use in a well-ventilated room, warns of it's flammability.Is Tamiya Acrylic paint TOXIC?

Tanning bed acrylic is cracked?
is it ok if the acrylic in a tanning bed has alot of hairline cracks right where you put you head at? will it eventually break? What causes it? it would make me feel more at ease if I knew what the problem was. Im scared its gonna break on me!! lolTanning bed acrylic is cracked?
Let the personnel of the salon know about this problem. They might not even be aware of it. Let them know that you are uncomfortable tanning in this unit and ask to use another one. If they don't have others, or don't co-operate, go to a different salon. The tanning industry is pretty competitive so there probably will be another salon in the area.
In all seriousness, the chances of it breaking all the way through and having your head go through it to the lamps is slim. The acrylic isn't a material that breaks that way. But if you are uncomfortable using it, by all means, you shouldn't have to.Tanning bed acrylic is cracked?
The cracks are caused by crazing of the acrylic probably due to contact over time with chemicals from hair gels / shampoo's etc that have left residues on the acrylic. These leach into the acrylic and work their way in between the structure of the acrylic causing the polymer to be pushed apart giving the hair line cracks.
These cracks severely weaken the acrylic and if a bed is in this state when you come to use it you should refuse to use it as there is an increased chance of failure.
You should not use a bed with no acrylic on the top tubes as the acrylic absorbs some of the more harmful UV...
The bed is probably made from extruded acrylic which is more prone to this sort of failure. Cast acrylic is better although more expensive.
Its caused by wear and tear and also WRONG PRODUCT!!
As an ex salon owner, i would actually charge those that broke the acrylic (they are 1200$)
when you use store bought lotions like from walmart that say they are for indoor use, they are NOT!!! They contain mineral oils that absorb into the pores of the acrlyic and clog it causing them to crack!!
It will eventually break if you get into the bed too hard or if you continue using mineral oil based products in the beds!
Tell the person behind the desk BEFORE u go in so they dont blame U for it!! They have EVERY RIGHT to make you pay for it if your the culprit using the outdoor lotions!
Those acrylics are made to hold up to 500lbs so its not normal for them to break when people get in them, they are made to sustain that, its caused strictly from the mineral oils in lotions or if someone JUMPED into the bed which you would hear!
It is safe to tan it, they do not shatter like glass for acrylic is plastic but u can cut urself if it were to completely break.
I got in a tanning bed one time where the top cover(over the bulbs) was completely off. I got in it anyways, but it scared the sh** out of me the whole time! lol
It came off because it had alot of cracks in it, and so the whole thing just kinda fell off. But it was on top, so your may not do that. But just to be safe, I would get it replaced when it gets to bad. Or if your bed has a number to call, do that.
Good luck

you can choose the length
and you also have the choice of getting them square or rounded.
I like the classy look so I get: The French Manicure w/ white tips; medium-short length, squared and rounded.

What is acrylic?
Acrylic is a useful, clear plastic that resembles glass, but has properties that make it superior to glass in many ways. Common brands of high-grade acrylic include Polycast, Lucite and Plexiglass.
There are two basic types of acrylic: extruded and cell cast. Extruded or ';continuous cast'; acrylic is made by a less expensive process, is softer, can scratch easier and may contain impurities. Cell cast acrylic is a higher quality acrylic and U.S. domestic cell cast is a good choice for applications that require the best. Imported cell cast acrylic is often manufactured to lesser standards.
Acrylic is used to make various products, such as shower doors, bath enclosures, windows and skylights. It is chosen over glass for many reasons. It is many times stronger than glass, making it much more impact resistant and therefore safer. Falling against an acrylic shower door will not likely break it. Baseballs that crash through glass windows will, in most cases, bounce off acrylic windows. Acrylic also insulates better than glass, potentially saving on heating bills.
Another great advantage of acrylic is that it is only half as heavy as glass. This makes working with acrylic much easier. It can also be sawed, whereas glass must be scored.
Adding to this favorable array of properties, a transparency rate of 93% makes acrylic the clearest material known. Very thick glass will have a green tint, while acrylic remains clear.
A unique property of plastic is its ability to be shaped. Bow-front aquariums are beautiful examples of acrylic's wonderful properties. There are also no seams in acrylic structures, as chemical welding at the molecular level actually ';melts'; seams into one piece of solid material. Seams that are welded and polished are invisible.
There are some misconceptions about acrylic, namely that it yellows, turns brittle and cracks over time. Though this might be true of very cheap forms of plastic, it is not so with acrylic. For example, the fighter planes of WWII have acrylic bubble-tops. Airplane windows are also acrylic. If taken care of, acrylic remains new looking regardless of age or exposure to sun. Some people worry that acrylic scratches too easily, but unlike glass, scratches can be easily buffed out of acrylic.
For all of its advantages, there are two disadvantages of acrylic: it is more expensive than glass, and if exposed to a direct flame it will melt and eventually burn.
Today acrylic is used more than ever. Virtually all major public aquariums now build display tanks out of acrylic. You will also find acrylic in malls, institutions, prisons, hospitals and commercial buildings. Acrylic just over one inch thick (32mm) is bullet resistant. The Presidential motorcade, the Pope's booth-vehicle, teller enclosures and drive-through window enclosures all feature bullet-resistant acrylic.What is acrylic?
acrylic is a type of plastic or polymer used in paintWhat is acrylic?
man made material
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic
a type of plastic
plastics are materials made from oil
Acrylic fiber is lightweight, soft, and warm, with a wool-like feel. It dyes very well and has excellent colorfastness. It is resilient, retains its shape, and resists shrinkage and wrinkles. It is quite varied in form and sometimes has an appearance similar to wool or cotton.
Acrylic has recently been used in clothing as a cheaper alternative to cashmere, due to the similar feeling of the materials. The disadvantages of acrylic is that it tends to fuzz (or pill) easily and that it does not insulate the wearer as well as cashmere. Many products like fake pashmina or cashmina use this material to create the illusion of cashmere to the consumer.
Acrylic is resistant to moths, oils, and chemicals, and is very resistant to deterioration from sunlight exposure. However, static and pilling can be a problem.
Acrylic paint is fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water, but become water-resistant when dry. Depending on how much the paint is diluted (with water) or modified with acrylic gels, mediums, or pastes, the finished acrylic painting can resemble a watercolor or an oil painting or have its own unique characteristics not attainable by oil or watercolor.
Acrylics were first available commercially in the 1950s. The first commercially available artist acrylic paints were mineral spirit based paints from a company called Bocour Artist Colors. The waterbased acrylic paints came later and were coined the term ';latex'; housepaints, although there is not any actual latex from a rubber tree in an acrylic dispersion. Interior ';latex'; housepaints tend to be a combination of binder (sometimes acrylic, vinyl, pva and others), filler, pigment and water. Exterior ';latex'; housepaints may also be a ';co-polymer'; blend, but the very best exterior waterbased paints are 100% acrylic based. Soon after the waterbased acrylic binders were introduced as housepaints, artists (the first artists were Mexican muralists) and companies alike began to explore the potential of the new binders.
acrylic is a polymeric substance that has plastic like properties, it is made up from a monomer substance in addition to PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) and forms long chains of polymer. its properties are hardness and ductility yet depending upon the powder to monomer ratio is can have brittle or elastic properties.
Take your pick:
Acrylic may refer to:
chemical compounds that contain the acryl group derived from acrylic acid
Acrylic fiber, a synthetic polymer fiber that contains at least 85% acrylonitrile
Acrylic paint, fast-drying paint containing pigment suspended in an acrylic polymer emulsion
Polymethyl methacrylate (also known as ';acrylic glass'; and ';Plexiglas';), the synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate

Is Acrylic Dangerous?
I had these curtains in my room that was entirely acrylic on one side, to block out light. The acrylic started to flake off into a fine dust, so i got rid of them, since i figured it would be bad to breathe this stuff in. Was the acrylic dust actually dangerous or did i overreact?Is Acrylic Dangerous?

Dental acrylic-backed labret studs?
I dislike the harshness of steel-backed labrets against gums and teeth. My piercer was telling me of a type of jewelry that has dental acrylic or acrylic (also known as lucite) backed jewelry, but with a steel or titanium post.
I'm having difficulty finding these, and wonder if it would even be a viable option in the first place. Has anyone else heard of these, and could someone forward me a link to a site I could buy them from?
Thanks! Dental acrylic-backed labret studs?
Dental Acrylic is not the same as lucite. Lucite is normal, porous acrylic (harbors bacteria). Dental Acrylic is non-porous and is what implant teeth and the like are made out of.
Dental Acrylic labret studs are harder to find. I'd suggest Bioplast.

Acrylic nails?
has had a reaction to acrylic nails?Acrylic nails?
I hate when I hear this - there could be many reasons for this.
I don't care if you are going to a low or high priced place - it is hard to find a good nail tech that knows everything they should when apply product safely and properly.
The most common cause of this is OVER EXPOSURE - one of the products used on you was used in excess - probably the primer or the monomer in her brush was very wet and/or she touched your skin with the brush over and over again causing over exposure.
The nail technician could also be filing too much on your natural nail and or hitting your skin with the file too much - then when products get in the skin it irritates it.
The other cause could be an allergy you have to one of the products. - Overexposure can cause allergies to the products too. I have a few loyal clients now that used to have that problem wherever they went until they came to me. Please find yourself a quality nail tech - If you are not allergic to her product she might be able to solve this for you. Good Luck !

I don't understand? Did you have like a allergic reaction?
well take them off...and this isnt a question
I had acrylic nails forever and never had a reaction, but think about all the chemicals. Ever wonder why the girls wear surgical masks?
I even had a woman who was doing my nails tell me that a lot of salons use airplane glue to make it last longer. I'm completely serious and so was she.
Go get them removed or do it yourself by soaking in acetone (what most nail polish removers are made of but read the bottle) and use a something thin and sturdy to separate them from your real nail. (in NYC we use our Metrocards)

Cracked acrylic nail. Bleeding. Help?
My acrylic nail cracked and I think my nail did too becauwse it's bleeding under the acrylic. It's too late to goto a nail salon. Is there anything I can do? I might have to work(cashier) before I can get it fixed and I'm afraid it will break more.Cracked acrylic nail. Bleeding. Help?
if you have nail glue, try to carefully remove the nail. (without ripping it off cuz that hurts and is bad for the nail) then wash out your nail and glue it back together. file over the part with the glue and it will look just like your original nail. next, do the same thing with the acrylic nail. hope it helped :)Cracked acrylic nail. Bleeding. Help?
ewewew, sorry, it sounds like it hurts

i got my nails don like last week and they are liftin. do u kno y? caz i would like to kno. this isn the first time. primer goes on before the acrylic but it still risesMy acrylic nails keep lifting !!!!!help!!!!!?
sometimes if they dont wipe your real nail down with acitone before they put acrylic they will lift because lotion is creating a barier between it , tell them next time to do that and also if your nails are brittle it can happen too.My acrylic nails keep lifting !!!!!help!!!!!?
It alwayss happens buh usually
starts lifting the second or third week
%26amp;%26amp;its just how it is
Cant change it minee are startin 2 lift
ritee noww=]]
If you have them done professionallyy, then they shouldn't be doing this so I would suggest trying a different nail salon.
Sounds like they didn't do a very good job, go back and show them they'll prolly redue them for free.

Do Acrylic Nails Hurt?
Im getting nails done at a salon and how would you take them out?Do Acrylic Nails Hurt?
Only when you break them.
You can soak them in acetone so that the acrylic comes off but if you have a gel topcoat, you have to file it off first because it can't be removed by acetone. Also, when soaking, you can try like a cuticle clipper (like fingernail clipper but pointed) to take it off from the sides. It can hurt a lil.Do Acrylic Nails Hurt?
If you pop them off (like I always do; I have the bad habit of biting my nails and acrylics are no different) or they crack then yes.
If you just let them be they can last for weeks and the glue will either wear off or if you need them off you can dip your fingers in acetone.
If is your first time getting them it hurts kinda because you are not used to the pressure on your nail . But they do hurt when they break off and when you are removing them.When you get them off I suggest get them taken off at a nail salon it is easier on you.
Not really. If the tech doesn't know how to file right, It can hurt when they file. And to get it off, You soak in pure acetone for 10-20 or more minutes, Then take something like a orange wood stick and push the softened nail off...NEVER pull them off. It hurts, and really damages your nails.
Don't do it! You will ruin your nails.
well where i live, i use a metro card (nyc transportation if u dont know) but it hurts when you try and take them off :-\ use a thin card, and go slowly, use saliva if you can, the acid in it will help
uh...yeah. get gel nails instead. better quality. but can u afford gel nails? not everyone can. i'm so glad i can!
hey answer mine:

it depends. if they're hardcore ones, leave them on and wait till your nails grow so you can just clip it gradually with a nail clipper. if they're cheap ones, they should just fall off after a week!
Well they hurt if you rip them off when there not ready to come off but to get them to come off just either soak them in nail polish remover or 100% pure acetone
Hope this helps (:
They can hurt when taking them off.
When you take them off dip them into strong nail polish remover so they come off easier,
i would suggest just going back to the nail salon take them off for you because doing it yourself kinda hurts
yeah it hurts when you take them off...you have to rip them off
Only when you break them.
You can soak them in acetone so that the acrylic comes off but if you have a gel topcoat, you have to file it off first because it can't be removed by acetone. Also, when soaking, you can try like a cuticle clipper (like fingernail clipper but pointed) to take it off from the sides. It can hurt a lil.Do Acrylic Nails Hurt?

Can Tamiya Acrylic Paint.....?
Can Tamiya Acrylic Paint (the ones that are in little paint pots) be used for hand painting as well? I know that they are often used to mix colors for airbrushing, but I was wondering if I needed to dilute it first when using a regular brush or something. Would it be ok to just dip a paint brush into the undiluted pot and start painting? Thanks.Can Tamiya Acrylic Paint.....?
It's absolutely fine I do it when I painted my chest of drawers, comes out better then regular paint actually.Can Tamiya Acrylic Paint.....?
No one I know including myself has had any luck brushing on Tamiya acrylics. They're great for airbrushing though. And some small detail pieces, but not large areas as they tend to clump up as your laying it down. Try Polyscale instead.hair combs

Tanning bed acrylic is cracked?
is it ok if the acrylic in a tanning bed has alot of hairline cracks right where you put you head at? will it eventually break? What causes it? it would make me feel more at ease if I knew what the problem was. Im scared its gonna break on me!! lolTanning bed acrylic is cracked?
Let the personnel of the salon know about this problem. They might not even be aware of it. Let them know that you are uncomfortable tanning in this unit and ask to use another one. If they don't have others, or don't co-operate, go to a different salon. The tanning industry is pretty competitive so there probably will be another salon in the area.
In all seriousness, the chances of it breaking all the way through and having your head go through it to the lamps is slim. The acrylic isn't a material that breaks that way. But if you are uncomfortable using it, by all means, you shouldn't have to.Tanning bed acrylic is cracked?
The cracks are caused by crazing of the acrylic probably due to contact over time with chemicals from hair gels / shampoo's etc that have left residues on the acrylic. These leach into the acrylic and work their way in between the structure of the acrylic causing the polymer to be pushed apart giving the hair line cracks.
These cracks severely weaken the acrylic and if a bed is in this state when you come to use it you should refuse to use it as there is an increased chance of failure.
You should not use a bed with no acrylic on the top tubes as the acrylic absorbs some of the more harmful UV...
The bed is probably made from extruded acrylic which is more prone to this sort of failure. Cast acrylic is better although more expensive.
Its caused by wear and tear and also WRONG PRODUCT!!
As an ex salon owner, i would actually charge those that broke the acrylic (they are 1200$)
when you use store bought lotions like from walmart that say they are for indoor use, they are NOT!!! They contain mineral oils that absorb into the pores of the acrlyic and clog it causing them to crack!!
It will eventually break if you get into the bed too hard or if you continue using mineral oil based products in the beds!
Tell the person behind the desk BEFORE u go in so they dont blame U for it!! They have EVERY RIGHT to make you pay for it if your the culprit using the outdoor lotions!
Those acrylics are made to hold up to 500lbs so its not normal for them to break when people get in them, they are made to sustain that, its caused strictly from the mineral oils in lotions or if someone JUMPED into the bed which you would hear!
It is safe to tan it, they do not shatter like glass for acrylic is plastic but u can cut urself if it were to completely break.
I got in a tanning bed one time where the top cover(over the bulbs) was completely off. I got in it anyways, but it scared the sh** out of me the whole time! lol
It came off because it had alot of cracks in it, and so the whole thing just kinda fell off. But it was on top, so your may not do that. But just to be safe, I would get it replaced when it gets to bad. Or if your bed has a number to call, do that.
Good luck
