You can have both the nails to design your nails but before that a primary knowledge would help you choose the right nail extension for you. You cant change colors easily between manicures if you want to.

I have discussed the bullet points about the pros and cons. If the nail has already separated you must remove the lifted acrylic. Do nail technicians make good money.

I suggest you thin out the acrylic first so when youre done the nails arent too thick. Because I cant change colors I have to get fills more frequently rather than being able to remove my polish and polish with a light natural color to hide the regrowth and get another week out of my nails. If youre new to gel nails know that gel nails and gel polish are different things gel nails are an enhancement to strengthen or lengthen your nails while gel polish is a type of colored polish that lasts longer than standard nail polish and must be cured under UV light.

Then add the new acrylic on top. If youre ever had a gel manicure before youll know gel nail polish is very similar to regular nail polish. Though removing them at home is an option a Pro will do the best job.
