If I were to get gel nails (french manicure) could I still put polish on them and take it off with remover....?

Or would the remover mess up the nails? I want to get gel nails but really love changing the color of my nails, anyone have experience with this?If I were to get gel nails (french manicure) could I still put polish on them and take it off with remover....?
the polish remover would melt your nails .


so either stick to polish, get gel nails without painting them, or get colored gel nails .If I were to get gel nails (french manicure) could I still put polish on them and take it off with remover....?
Polish remover will not mess up your nails IF they are real UV gel nails and not the discount salon version of 'gel' nails which are acrylic nails with a UV gel topcoat. UV gels are not affected by solvents ( polish remover, acetone, etc) and will not harm them. Acrylic is affected by solvents and yes, they will be damaged depending on how long your nails are exposed to the solvent.


Its very simple to tell if you have real UV gels nails or not. If the tech used ANY liquid and powder on your nails, you have acrylic nails - not gel nails. No matter what the tech calls them, they are acrylic nails. Gel nails are made from gel - as the name implies. Liquid and powder is never used with real gel nails.


So to answer your question: As long as you have real UV gel nails, you can paint them with no harm to your nails whatsoever.
The remover will mess up your nails.


You might as well NOT get your nails done or get them done and have them put nails with color on them.
i don't think french nails are the best because they almost make you nails rot underneath and u have to pay to get them replaced often. Just stick to nail polish!!!!!
