Can you use nail polish over gel nails?

all the gel nails i've seen are french manicure style, I don't want to have the same look all the time, can I use nail polish on gel nails?Can you use nail polish over gel nails?
First, just a quick note: Acetone is not an abrasive. It will not weaken - or damage real UV gel nails. Gel nails are not affected by acetone, or any nail polish removers.


To answer your question, yes, you can apply polish to UV gel nails. But remember, gel nails are non-porous so the polish is not going to adhere as well to gel nails as it would to acrylic nails which are porous. That said, always use a good quality base coat to help the polish to adhere better.Can you use nail polish over gel nails?
I am a mobile nail technician and the answer to your question is no, only because you could weaken the gel overlay on your nail if you were to remove any nail polish with acetone as it acts as an abrasive therefore making the nail extension weak.





If you do prefer to have coloured nails, next time you get them done ask for the coloured gel instead.
yea you can :)
yes.
