Using other paint on acrylic surface?

I've bought one of those acrylic wall hangings that you paint yourself. I have run out of a certain colour but I have other paint here (stuff you use in the house eg. on walls or drawers) so am wondering if it really matters if I use a bit of that stuff? I only have a tiny bit to paint, maybe 10cm x 10cm area. Does it really make any difference?Using other paint on acrylic surface?
wall paint/multipurpose house paint(for drawers and stuff) is acrylic paint too silly, so no it doesnt matter, both the paints are water based and can be blended togeter nicely, just make sure its not gloss paint, or then it will stand out lol, its better if its just the ordinary paint. and yes it will stick to the surface, it can stick to plaster on the wall so it can stick to canvases. the only surface it wont stick to is smooth plastic.


They started using acrillic piants for walls about 50 or 60 years ago i think.


They dont use oil paints for walls, its too expensive and just as impractical as using water colors on a wall lol.Using other paint on acrylic surface?
It might not stick to the surface. It probably won't blend well into the color you were using since it's different paint. If you want to try it just use the tiniest corner of the space so you can cover it with the right paint if it doesn't work.

  • Do pink and white acrylic nails turn yellow from indoor tanning (tanning beds)?

    I want to get my nails done with the pink and white acrylics but I am worried they might turn yellow. I have had regular acrylic nail in the past and they turned yellow from tanning but I heard that the pink and white arcylics won't. Does anyone know if this is true or if there is a clear polish that I can use to protect them from turning yellow? Any advice is greatly appriciated. Thank you!Do pink and white acrylic nails turn yellow from indoor tanning (tanning beds)?
    Most tanning salons sell nail covers. So just wear nail covers and nothing will happen to them.Do pink and white acrylic nails turn yellow from indoor tanning (tanning beds)?
    If you have cheap nails that were made with cheap acrylic products, then yes, they will yellow easily. But, top of the line acrylic products do not yellow like the cheap stuff does. You may want to go to a different salon - one that uses good products.


    BTW, there is no difference between the pink %26amp; white, and what you call 'regular' acrylic. They are the same thing, just a different color. Good quality acrylics come in many different colors, and will withstand the UV lights and not become yellowed.

    Does anyone know what to buy to make the acrylic nail stay on?

    I do my own nails and they look great but only stay on about 4 days and then come off. I have used a primer before making the nail but that didn't help. When I have a professional do my nails they don't come off, so what should I do? I can't afford to have someone else do my nails. Besides I love to do them myself except the fact they don't stay on!!Does anyone know what to buy to make the acrylic nail stay on?
    The key to long lasting nails is proper nail preperation prior to the application of acrylic. It's essential to do the prep work. You cannot simply apply primer and expect the nails to last because they won't. While I don't blame you for wanting to save money doing them yourself - or for whatever reason you do them yourself, but this is one of the reasons why they have schools for becoming a nail technician. So many people incorrectly believe that they can go and get the supplies, or some little kit somewhere, come home, and do great nails. It's not as easy as it looks, and if you are not careful, you may end up doing more harm than good to yourself. How? Well, contact dermatitis is just one way of the ways you can be harmed by this. That comes from overexposure of the skin to the chemicals used in acrylics. Actually, you can develop this condition with overexposure to just about any chemical, but acrylic monomers, primers, and even the polymers are definitely some of those chemicals which can, and often does cause this condition in many people. No, one does not get this overnight - it takes time. The amount of time varies for everyone. And once you have contact dermatitis from a particular chemical, you will always have it. The remedy? To avoid contact with the chemical which causes the allergic reaction. And that means no more acrylic nails - ever. I suggest learning how to do nails the right way before continuing to do them. Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear, but thats just how it is. I did answer your question though. Proper preperation of the nail is a key element in the process of applying acrylic nails. If you skip over this, nails will lift, or 'pop' off in a matter of days, or sooner.


    BTW, use primer VERY sparingly. One half ounce bottle is enough to do over 1,000 full sets of nails. If you are soaking your nails with it, you are using way too much. One brushful of primer - after wiping the brush on the side of the bottle to remove the excess, is enough for 7-10 nails. If your nails look 'wet' after applying primer, you are using too much of it.Does anyone know what to buy to make the acrylic nail stay on?
    I have this same problem so this isn't an answer, but a ';you're not alone!'; I use a primer/bonder too and it still doesn't help.

    What colors do I mix to make mauve using acrylic paint?

    red and blue to make purple then slowly add white until you get what you're looking forWhat colors do I mix to make mauve using acrylic paint?
    Purple plus white.





    Red and blue don't actually make a bright purple. You could get a dull mauve using that method, or you could mix a warm blue like ultramarine with a cool red like alizarin crimson, or, ideally, with magenta aka hot pink. Or you can get a tube of purple like dioxazine violet which is what I use. Just mix a small amount with white, and add a little warm blue or cool red until you have just what you want.

    Which is better for a tongue piercing: a plastic barbell or steel barbell? And what about acrylic balls?

    The barbell doesn't really matter, but as for the ball- Go for plastic or acrylic. Metal/Steel balls can damage your teeth.Which is better for a tongue piercing: a plastic barbell or steel barbell? And what about acrylic balls?
    I did a steel pin, with two plastic balls. The plastic is always breaking, so make sure you have extras. If you have a plastic pin, and it breaks, sometimes it will pinch you, and it hurts like hell. But if you have two steel balls, its messes with your teeth. so that is why i do it. I don't know about the acrylic balls, i haven't tried it.Which is better for a tongue piercing: a plastic barbell or steel barbell? And what about acrylic balls?

    My tech put a UV Gel top coat on acrylic tips over my polish. Now I have cracks/peels. Why? How do I fix it?

    You cannot do this yourself. A nail tech that specializes in UV gels should do it for you. I don't ever put UV topcoat on top of regular polish, only UV gel polish.
