I've been getting gel manicures this summer so my nails could grow. They peeled horribly and I've used every treatment the peas recommended but nothing helped. They have finally grown out long and I'm happy and I can get a gel manicure to stretch out 3 weeks. I picked out a pale pink but when I saw it on one nail it looked like some cheap hot pink barbie would wear so he removed it and I picked another light pink. Well after he did all of my nails I still didn't like it, I mentioned it when he asked if I liked it and he offered to let me pick another color but I didn't want to waste his time. I find that in the summer time when I tan I can't wear certain pinks because it ends up being very close to my skin color. I know I should have taken a picture of it to show you, but I ended up just painting regular nail on top it. Anybody done that before, not sure how regular nail polish will hold up on top of shellac? This is the color I got:  |

I've painted over a gel manicure before and it was fine. The polish didn't last as long as the gel polish did, of course, but it also didn't peel, flake or chip as fast as a standard mani. It also had no effect at all on the integrity of the gel mani - meaning it didn't cause the gel to peel or come off sooner, either.

I don't get manicures. But I don't like the most recent color I picked for my pedicure. It is such a pretty lavender color in the bottle. But it looks awful on me, like my feet are dead or something.

I got a pedicure last week and decided a few days later that I really didn't like the color. It was boring, so I painted over it at home. I don't know anything about gel manicures, but I know color regret.

My nail lady has said you can paint over them without problem.

Yes, it happens all the time and I just live with it. Lately, though, I've been using the same two colors because I know I like them.

I know lots of nail gals do gel at home as a base and paint over it on a regular basis. You can remove the polish without affecting the gel by using a non-acetone based remover.
