When people say they have used acrylic paint for nail art, do they mean a special acrylic paint made for nails or the kind that is used for painting on canvas? Here is a picture of the paints I have, they are by Reeves and I bought them at A C Moore.

Even if they are thinned out with water? I guess I could just try it and find out for myself. And I'm glad you thought my question was funny...

Actually I'm not trying to tell ayone they are wrong but you can use those on your nails its fine and will not damage your nails at all if you use a base coat. You don't have to thin them out, I don't. And as long as you use a top coat it won't flake off either. Acrylic paints come out more vibrant than nail polish a lot of the time and they are much easier to work with. I do nails so I do know this as fact. Again I am not trying to call anyone out, tell anyone they're wrong, or be rude, this isnt hate. I'm just trying to help. :) hope this helped you out ;)

Thank you ladies! I went a head and goggled it right after I posted this, and found rave reviews on this exact brand for nail art. Thanks Lara and Cassidy :) and Ashleigh- if I do a few coats of a clear top coat I'm sure it will last :)

I use the same as yours and it doesn't damage your nails. It has a cool matte effect but it goes away as soon as there's a topcoat on. haha.
