I did my acrylics at home the clear ones and I used regular nail polish on top no gel kind, can I use a nail polish remover to take it off when I need a full, will it damage my acrylic?

I DO nails and im not understanding that you mean when you say you did the nails at home. Did you BUY like the plastic press on nails?? cause those are plastic not acrylic.
Do you know HOW to actually do acrylic nails so you went out and BOUGHT the powder, purple liquid, brush, and teh equipment needed that a shop would have but then you just skipped buying the crystal gel? Cause if you did that was a mistake. Acrylic nails last longer if they have the gel coating over them, its like doing a beautiful paint job on a car and then not putting the clear gloss coating which is the last step to the process to complete it.
Regular nail polish only contains a very small amount of acetone in it which is basically the only ingredient you need to remove nail polish. Pure acetone can eat through plastics, gel coating, and top coats. If you bought press on nails or anything thats plastic, forget about trying to save the nail because it will chemically melt the surface while your trying to rub just the top coat of clear nail polish off and because its clear you wont know how much your removing so that you can stop.
