Yes, this nail polish can be used on artificial nails such as acrylics or gels, following standard application procedures.

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place, and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to prevent the polish from drying out or the color from degrading.

Ensure you are applying thin coats. If the polish has thickened significantly in the bottle, it may be nearing the end of its usable life or was exposed to air. Avoid adding thinner unless specifically designed for nail polish, as it can alter the formula.

Ensure nails are properly prepped (clean, dry, no oils). Use a base coat and a good quality top coat, and cap the free edge of the nail with each coat to seal it.

This can be due to insufficient top coat or the formula itself. Ensure you apply a generous, even layer of top coat for maximum shine.
