I have been trying to get acrylic nails off by soaking them in acetone, I've been doing?
it for two days now and still can't get it all off. My nails look hideous. I really don't want to pay someone to do it, so I am wondering if there is any other way to remove them. I will keep soaking if necessary. Any advise it great.
ThanksI have been trying to get acrylic nails off by soaking them in acetone, I've been doing?
Keep your nails immersed in the acetone....once you lift them out, the nails re-harden within a few seconds. .... use an orange wood stick while your nails are in the acetone to gently scrape off what has softened.......DO NOT chip them off, they are attached to your nail plate and when you chip them off, you take about 3 layers of your natural nail with it......
You can get a hard file and file the top of them thinnre before you soak them.I have been trying to get acrylic nails off by soaking them in acetone, I've been doing?
you can soak them and then chip away at it with a nail clipper...the acetonr softens the acrylic making it easier to remove. as soon as u soak it, while tes soft .. start taking pieces off with the clipper. woork fast.. once it drys repeat process.. it should take an hour.. try to sit down in front of a good movie...
you have to soak and rub it off soak and rub it off ; a million and one times if your doing it yourself , or you could take something and get under the acrylic and try to pop them off. best advise would be to pay to get them off because they have dremmels they use to wear away at the acrylic; no pain, and it's fast :]

Is an aquaone 850 glass or acrylic?
This is easy to tell. Look at the corners. If they are rounded and melted together they are plastic (acrylic). If they have a true corner that is siliconed together they are glass.Is an aquaone 850 glass or acrylic?
no
no
How should i re-apply my acrylic nail?
its only been a few days since i got them
and two have fallen off, the place i got them done wasnt very good i guess:/
so the whole acrylic nail fell off and im wondering wht i should use to put it back on, krazy glue? haha.. i dont knowHow should i re-apply my acrylic nail?
First thing, soak those 2 fingertips in plain vinegar for about 5 minutes, then do not rinse, just let them get good and dry. Make sure they are DRY, and then you you can use a tiny drop of krazy glue and glue them back in place. It's better to go get some nail glue, but krazy glue will work. They are both cyanoacrylic glues.
Be sure not to skip the vinegar (it keeps you from getting green fungus under there)
And be extra sure to let the nail be absolutely dry when you glue.How should i re-apply my acrylic nail?
Stop wearing that garbage. But in the meantime go back and have them fix it if it's been two days. They will know that you just got them done based on how the other nails look. In the event you know the name of your stylist call her and warn her you're coming in for the wack nails to be fixed.
Oh yeah, never go back to them
just go back and say that you havent done anything physical and that the nails werent put on well....nail places usually give you your cash back or fix them
You can go to a store like Happy Harry's or Walgreens and get gllue just for them . It would be found by the nail polish

Acrylic nails and infections? my nail {or under my nail} looks light green l?
My acrylic nail came off 5 days ago and my nail was discolored. It has not gotten worse and has no pain. I have heard some times this may happen and will grow out. Has anyone had this happen before? Should i be worried?Acrylic nails and infections? my nail {or under my nail} looks light green l?
when your nails are done with acrylic bacteria can get underneath from not cleaning the nails properly or for the salon not sterilizing their tools properly..even if it has not gotten worse or has any pain it is still a kind of infection from the use of unsterile tools or unproper handwashing. go to your doctor so they can give you some antibiotics for the infection. My cousin used to have this happen all the time and it was from the salon not sterilizing or cleaning their equipment..this happens often .but she ended up losing her real fingernails ..get medical attention asap it may seem like nothing but it could turn out worse than what it seemslong hair

Keep your cuticles trimmed back and use Burts Bee's lemon cuticle cream. I have very thin nails and I found this keeps them from drying and cracking...

xIm getting acrylic nails done tomorrow?
If Acrylic nails are applied and removed correctly, then there should be no lasting damage. The Tech will lighlt take off the surace shine with a block before applying the nails but no nail tech should ever file on top of your natural nails (only to etch the surface) Make sure that the place you are going to does not use a drill, they cause alot of damage doing that. Have creative put on if the do that as this system uses an acid free primer, and never ever pick your nails off. Soak them in acetone for about an hour, then oil them, buff them, apply somje nail strengthener and the next day they will be good as new.
Hope this helps xIm getting acrylic nails done tomorrow?
I got them done recently and OMG what a mess after they came off. My skin underneath the nails was bruised the nails were very thin and brittle. I would never get it done again.
yes, acrylic nails are terrible. Bio gel is a better bet, but still not great for your natural nails in the long run. get good, regular manicures, and your natural nails will bet healthier, longer, and look beautiful for years to come.
any false nail will damage your nail underneath.. Grow them naturally.
i have been getting my nails done since i was 15 I'm now 20 . No it doesn't make your nails thin. BUT don't take them off yourself get it done. In saying that find the right nail place for you . Took me years to find the perfect one for me !
Gd luck
I got mine done on Saturday lol, i've had them done before that, anyway your nails do grow underneath yh there thin but i don't care because i don't really notice much x
visit the following url
They might be thinner it depends on the method used to put them on, but remember the whole time you are wearing them, your real nails underneath will not have any oxygen supplies. You can uy nail hardner from most chemists that you can use when you take them off.
Ask the nail technician to file lightly or they will be super thin.

Why are acrylic tapers bad?
I just went from a 6g to a 4g last night (Nov. 6). I used acrylic tapers and have heard they are bad. I just bought some steel plugs and they should be here Tuesday, in 4 days. I was wondering if it will be ok to leave the plastic in until then. I don't have any other 4g jewelery yet. I've heard bad things about acrylic and just wanted to make sure it's ok for a short period of time.Why are acrylic tapers bad?
Acrylic cannot be sterilized. And no, it is not a smart idea to leave the tapers in for more than a few hours (they're not meant to be worn as jewelry, anyways). A short period of time (as in hours) is fine, days is not.

What gets acrylic paint out of school shirts?
acrylic paint-remover ( for clothes )What gets acrylic paint out of school shirts?
You can't get acrylic paint out. Sorry. It's got a sort of plastic base to it, and it like grasps onto clothes if you get acrylic paint on there. There isn't any way to get it out. It is there permanently.
It is best just to wear a smock over your clothes- an old T-shirt will do. Since you can't get the paint out, might as well use them as a smock to protect future clothing.What gets acrylic paint out of school shirts?

What's the primer for when doing acrylic nails?
to help the acrylic adhere to the nail. without the primer it wont fully stick to the edges of your nail and they will pop off. that is also why they drill your nail first smooth nails have no where for the acrylic to stick to.

What is the difference between a full set and a fill-in.. with acrylic nails?
Full set: You're getting them put on... basically for the first time.
Fill-In: You're fixing the set that is already on (filling in the gap between where your nail has grown and the cuticle)
:)What is the difference between a full set and a fill-in.. with acrylic nails?
A full set is where you get the nails in the first place. A fill-in is when you've got the nails but they've grown out a bit and the bit near the bottom needs to be filled so they don't look quite so much like fake nails.

Will acrylic nails get ruined bring swimming at the beach and pools??
Getting my toes and nails done for a big event help!!
Will my nails look bad if I swim with them at the beach??Will acrylic nails get ruined bring swimming at the beach and pools??
No They'll be fine.Will acrylic nails get ruined bring swimming at the beach and pools??
yes if the nail salon you went to has cheapy products
i got my nails done and i went to da beach like 3 days after and they got yellow and loooked uglyy
No of course not. Acrylic, solar, or fiberglass nails are made for all-purpose events. What I mean is, the only way you'll ruin them is if you are swimming in a tub full of acetone. That is what nail techs use to soak off you nails. So, go and have fun......
Your nails wont look ';bad'; if you swim with them at the beach. It's kinda like taking a shower or a bath. just try not to keep them in the water too long because sometimes acrylic nails tend to lift near the top, which can cause fungus to grow underneath them. the best way to prevent your nails from getting ruined in the water is to dry them with a towel (completely) after they've been in the water :)
They wont appear bad, but when you eventually take them off, they will be yellow-ish in color and soft. Then its not to attractive. So if you can try to avoid water as much as possible, or put your hands in clear gloves, they kind chefs use when handeling raw meat, there just clear, you can buy them at the super market.
i do it all the time. I get my man/ped bi-weekly and i surf. they look the same....

Acrylic painting of a black car..background?
i'm planning on painting a black car... this is going to be a Xmas gift. The car will contain a lot of grays due to the lighting and shine. What colour would be nice as a background without looking amateur? I could do the insignia on a solid colour background or a colour fading to another colour. Any suggestions? Or is the black car on a white background with the shadow at the bottom the most effective?
Thank you!! :)Acrylic painting of a black car..background?
Why not lemon yellow! More festive and would make your car stand out.Acrylic painting of a black car..background?
I would leave it white...more dramatic and will fit in with any colour scheme in any room...Good Luck!
Earth colors would be perfect!

I bought a cheap acrylic bowfront tank kit with an intake whisper filter. does it have to produce bubbies?????
the instructions say to fill the tank to the colored rim, but when its that full, the ';waterfall'; from the filter doesn't produce any bubbles in the tank. My questions is, can the filter produce enough oxygen for the fish to survive?I bought a cheap acrylic bowfront tank kit with an intake whisper filter. does it have to produce bubbies?????
Love to know where that came from!
The tank instructions are somewhat correct. Where the colored rim is on the tank should be around 1/2 - 3/4 inches from the filter. The filter should POUR water into your tank. Dissolved oxygen which your fish use to breath, As long as your filter is pouring or RIPPLING across the surface, bubbles are not really a by product of this action. As long as you can see movement from the filter, it is fine as far as Dissolved Oxygen into the tank for your fish. No problem.
EDIT:
Dissolved oxygen can only enter water by movement of water against air. i.e. filters, powerheads, waterfalls, fountains waves etc. Bubbles rising thru the water has no contact with air. The few small pops at the surface of the water does nothing to add DO2 to the water. Bubble wands are for decoration only and are not needed in a tank. The oxygen is not absorbed by the water. It simply floats to the surface and that is it.I bought a cheap acrylic bowfront tank kit with an intake whisper filter. does it have to produce bubbies?????
The oxygen is located on the surface of the water. The larger the ';footprint'; of the tank, the more oxygen transfers. The filter isn't really to add oxygen to the tank. Bubbles don't actually add much oxygen either. When you think of it, the oxygen is encapsulated in the bubble...which rises to the surface and pops, expelling oxygen back into the air..laugh.
More effective is the water agitators, as they create rifts in the surface, thereby creating more per inch surface area.
Yes. There is a natural exchange of gasses from water to air and air to water. Also, the filter does not produce oxygen.
I always add bubbles for more oxygen, and my fish love it, they're never lethargic.
The instructions are correct... However you should know most of the oxygen in your tank does not come from the waterfall produced by your filter. If the water is circulating in tank that is enough to produce enough oxygen for your fish to survive.. Don't worry about it. However.. if you have a larger fish like a cichlid.. you might want to add a bubble maker.

Whats the differences between acrylic paint,oil paint,water color and poster color?
thoroughly, please.Whats the differences between acrylic paint,oil paint,water color and poster color?
Oil paints use oil as a binder, linseed oil, poppy oil, and a whole lot of other oils and resins developed over centuries. Good technical training is advised for working in oils.
Acrylic paints use plastic (acrylic) as a binder and mimic, very badly, the look of oil paints.
Water color uses gum arabic as its binder, and is used mainly in transparent washes. It is regarded as a ';difficult'; medium because it cannot be retouched without destroying its freshness. If water color is made opaque by adding chinese white or gouache, it is called ';body color';. Turner used this technique a lot.
';Poster color'; includes a lot of varieties, but essentially it is water-based pigment, also bound with gum, and sold in powder form, or in bottles (Plaka) or in tubes, when they are called gouache. It is a magnificent and underrated medium used by many of the old masters, and beautiful when mixed with pastel drawing as Degas sometimes did.
There is also tempera (egg based used in the early Renaissance), and encaustic (wax based used by ancient Egyptians), and fresco (poster color painted into wet plaster, as in Michelangelo' Sistine Chapel work ).Whats the differences between acrylic paint,oil paint,water color and poster color?
They have different characturistics.
Like Rod said,..... the guy 'above' my answer, explains.
The difference is the binder, that is the medium that holds the pigment together.
Oil paints use linseed oil and dries very slowly. Used in thin layers it allows underpainting to show through.
Acrylic paints use a water soluable acrylic that dries non-soluable and very hard quickly. It also tends to be quite opaque even in thin layers.
Water color uses gum arabic and remains soluable to some degree after drying. Usually painted on very thin layers with the board or paper becoming part of the image.
Poster color uses a cheap medium and is for commercial application, not fine art.

Poster color uses a cheap medium and is for commercial application, not fine art.
