hi all can the acrylic paint be used for air brushing? does it really have to dry under the Uv lamp as stated in the description?

I didn't even read in the description that it had to be dried with a uv lamp when I bought it so I never used a lamp when I used it and it dried just fine for me. I'm not sure what air brushing entails, but keep in mind that this paint is a little thicker than just nail polish or something.

Shireen, I primarily use mine with acrylics. The unit is light and very quiet. I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

Hello. We have a UV lamp. Unfortunately the gel polish is too thick to spread, and is unusable. So the lamp won't make a difference. Very unhappy with our non-refundable purchase.

I tried once, but it didn't work as well as gel polish. I didn't wait and let it really dry though, I just did the 2 minutes under the lamp like you do for the gel polish. These base and top coats work really well with the sephora gel polishes.

While I am not an expert, I am a professional makeup artist, and one of the main reasons I went with this airbrush was because you can use it with many different mediums: alcohol based, water based, silicone based. I would see no reason why you would have to use water only, or why you couldn't use a disinfectant solution as well. Good luck!

Some what. My advise is to paint it on dry hair. When it dries, don't get real crazy with brushing it out. The less you touch it, the brighter it stays.

No. Use a small fan to dry regular polish. OR you can apply a coat of gel base and dry with the UV lamp. THEN apply a coat (or 2) of regular polish. Once the regular Polish is COMPLETELY dry (again - AIR dry regular polish), you can apply a gel top coat and dry with the UV lamp. I personally haven't tried this method, but I've read that this can be done when someone wants to use regular polish to extend the life of their mani. But make sure the coat of regular polish is completely dry!I hope this was helpful. :)

I wouldn't think so. After drying you can peel mistakes off glass. I don't know about painting on clear acrylic.

No it does not, I usually add an extract with a high alcohol % to help it dry faster. Yes you can use a paintbrush or airbrush with it.

I airbrushed a tan, flat (Testors) base-coat. Let it dry completely. Then I brushed a mixture of Raw-Umber, oil paint. Follow that with a very light mix of Burnt-Umber, following the grain pattern along the stock.Hang the stock on a piece of curved wire and set aside to dry for a few days, before assembly. I have a very nice picture of the finished product.

Rena, I have mixed paint with a thinner and did some airbrushing on paper and it worked out fine. I was amazed how light I could go with the paint just by pushing the trigger a little bit, more trigger= more paint..

It can but if your going to use a airbrush invest in one that has a compressor, the can of air are expensive and this sprayer requires some skill to master, and clean up is a bit of a pain, when using enamel paint..it's better for water based paints

I doubt it... it's just acrylic paint. I used it on a t-shirt, and it flaked quite a bit. After more than a year, the paint is pretty faded from washing.

This nail polish doesn't need uv dryer...quality in enamel is ok must apply 3 coats to get the look you want.

It will dry hard. IT HAS TO be cured under a lamp. I've never used it as a top coat, I use it as a base, it does dry hard though.

You don't need this light for regular nail polish, and I wouldn't suggest it as it's a UV light that will be exposing your child's hands to damaging UV light without cause. This light is specifically meant for UV hardening nail polish which won't harden without it. What you want is a nail drying fan. not a light.

Works tight through acrylic. It will lift the paint off but if you careful to just dab a little on it wont mess up the paint to bad. Cant recall ever using it on lacquer.
