You do not have to use primer when applying acrylic nails. However, it would be wise so as to protect your nails from the acrylics' adhesive. This can be as easy as applying a clear coat of polish before applying your acrylics.

What do you need for acrylic nails?

To apply acrylic nails you need... several nail files and buffers a cuticle pusher nail clippers a tip cutter nail tips and tip glue acrylic powder - at least a pink, and probably also colored acrylic for the tips (this has a shelf life) acrylic monomer (this has a shelf life) a brush primer (this ALSO has a shelf life!) top coat. If you use gel top coat you need a lamp to cure it. To fill them you also need acrylic nail nippers IME it would cost you more to set up for doing your own acrylics than it does just to go get them done.


Can I mix acrylic paint and acrylic primer to use as a base in a room?

If the primer and paint are the samebrand, and are recommended to be used together. yes. no problems will occur. primer coats are generally thinner (lower viscosity) and simply are used to provide adhesion to top coats, so unless you are simply using the primer as an expander, i dont see the point.... but yes is the answer
