    Default Acrylics glow-in-the-dark?

    A week ago I went from getting a regular manicure to acrylics because I had a hot date... I went to work, and they glow under the blacklight. I don't want to get them taken off ($42 for pink and white tips with a gel top?!) is there any way to eliminate the glowy-ness of them?

    It isnt the acrylics themselves...its the coating they use. I've had some glow and some not because I had them done at differant salons and they used differant stuff.

    I actually like it when they glow..I think its cool and guys love it. But next time tell them you dont want them to be UV reactive

    Thank you so much!

    I had a lousy night that night (3 dances) and was entirely convinced it was because of the nails :-P

    It's the gel on top. Revove the gel with nail polosh remover and it should stop glowing.

    The product that they use is call yellow out, but guys really do seem to like it. Especially middle-aged - older men. You can tell them you have stripper-undercover nails.

    I agree that guys like it. It's a lot different then what they get at home.

    I always ask for the uv reactive clear polish. I love glowing nails. I dont think that this was the reason that u had a shit night.

    That is correct! And I like mine to glow too so I make sure they put the topcoat that will react under the black lights over my pink and white acrylics.

    I didnt' like mine to glow at first, but for some guys, it's a conversation starter for them, plus they glow!!!

    I'm surprised so many of you prefer the glowing nails. I make sure to ask for the non-UV topcoat when I get a natural color. I want it to look natural!

    On a total opposite note......

    Is there any way to get glow nails without going to the salon?

    My, uh, friend wants to know.

    I'm pretty sure it is the top coat they used at the salon .. next time you go for your acrylics tell them to make sure your nails don't glow in blacklight

    The glowy-ness grew on me my last shift. I did ok, not great, but well enough. Maybe I'm a little slow on the draw... but I could totally use the nails to draw attention to whatever I was doing with my hands... duh

    I feel a little behind the game for not realizing that the first night.

    Just buy a bottle of the yellow out, uv reactive polish if you want your nails to glow. Real or fake.
    If everything you try is a sure thing, you aren't taking enough risks. If you never fail, you put a limit on the degree to which you can succeed. In short, the only way to win big is to risk losing

    Any yellow-out or nailwhitener will do. Wet n Wild has a super cheap one, Trind if you want more quality. Also if you don't want really glowy you can just mix in a drop of the wet n wild UV polish in with say, a normal beige, and they'll still get a decent glow.
