Answer by pencilnbrush
you have to rough up the surface…and it still may come off… but you will need some sandpaper at the least….. but you will have to have several courses of paper… one to rough it up.. the rest to get it smooth again so the sandpaper marks and deep gouges go away… but i think it will still scratch off… not as easily… but i think it will

It takes 3 weeks for acrylic paint to become fully hardened. Maybe it will be ok in a couple of weeks. I would hate for you to have to paint it over again. Try putting some gel or varnish over your paint and then wait for a couple of weeks.

Acrylic paints really work better on “geenware” unglazed ceramic. You might want to put some acrylic gloss medium over the paint to protect it. It still might not work because it is a glossy surface.

Answer by Fantasiesbymel
Acrylics are not designed for this kind of project. They just aren’t. There are paints out there designed just for ceramics, I suggest you hit a local art supply or hobby store and buy some.

I can help.
My mum has her own nail business so she does my nails too. She removes acrylic nails with nail polish remover I think. She hasn’t done my nails for a while so I can’t be sure but I am pretty sure she does do it with nail polish.
I haven’t had them done for a while because of school. I usually have gel nails but I will be getting acrylics in the school holidays…
So yeah. Try nail polish remover.
Hope that works.

You need:
Acetone – either pure acetone or acetone polish remover (not low or non acetone formulas)
Cotton Balls
Tin Foil
A cuticle pusher or orangewood stick
A cuticle oil
Nail Strengthener

First file or clip off excess product (any that extends past the end of your natural nail)
If the salon put on a UV top seal (if your nails cured under a UV light) you will need to file off that layer otherwise the acetone won’t do anything.
Saturate the cotton with acetone and put it on your nail, wrap your fingertip in tin foil. Repeat on all nails of the first hand.
After 20 minutes – check the nail that you started with. Remove the foil and cotton and then use the cuticle pusher or orangewood stick to GENTLY push off any loose or gummy product. If you meet with any resistance or hard product, stop and reapply the cotton and foil. Repeat on the rest of the nails on that hand. Keep doing this until all the product has come off. Replace cotton as necessary.

Once all of the acrylic is off both hands, wash and dry nails thoroughly, file and shape, wash and dry again. Then apply 2 coats of nail strengthener (and one coat every other day) and massage a drop of cuticle oil into each cuticle.

100% Acrylic Art Guards

"I think crochet, the way I create it, is a metaphor for the complexity and interconnectedness of our body and its systems and psychology. The connections are stronger as one fabric as opposed to separate strands, but, if you cut one, the whole thing will fall apart.

Relationships are complex and greatly vary situation to situation. They are developmental journeys of growth, and transformation. Time passes, great distances are surpassed and the fabric which individuals are composed of compiles and unravels simultaneously."

Agata Olek Biography. The SPLAT! of colors hits you in the face, often clashing so ostentatiously that it instantly tunes you into the presence of severely cheeky humor. A moment later the fatigue of labor creeps into your fingers as a coal miner’s work ethic becomes apparent. Hundreds of miles of crocheted, weaved, and often recycled materials are the fabric from which the wild and occasionally wearable structures of her fantasylands are born.

Olek was born Agata Oleksiak in Poland and graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland with a degree in cultural studies. In New York, she rediscovered her ability to crochet and since then she has started her crocheted journey/madness.

Resume sniffers may be pleased to know Olek’s work has been presented in galleries from Brooklyn to Istanbul to Venice and Brazil, featured in "The New York Times", "Fiberarts Magazine", "The Village Voice", and "Washington Post" and drags a tail of dance performance sets and costumes too numerous to mention.

Olek received the Ruth Mellon Award for Sculpture, was selected for 2005 residency program at Sculpture Space, 2009 residency in Instituto Sacatar in Brazil, and is a winner of apex art gallery commercial competition. Olek was an artist in an independent collective exhibition, "Waterways," during the 49th Venice Biennale. She was also a featured artist in "Two Continents Beyond," at the 9th International Istanbul Biennale.

Olek herself however can be found in her Greenpoint studio with a bottle of spiced Polish vodka and a hand rolled cigarette aggressively re-weaving the world as she sees.

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html

The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation’s largest urban forum for experimental art.

Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists’ studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.

The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.
