i dont think you can infill silk with acrylic, i think you can do it the other way round cuz you can overlay acrylic with gel but not gel with acrylic if you know what i mean i woud also like to know if this can be done,

silk wraps tend to discolour quicker over time as compared to acrylic, so I would rather soak off the wraps and then do a new set of acrylic. As for acrylic over gel or gel over acrylic, I just make sure that the shades match up or blend together nicely.

Hope this helps

And you will find that the silk wraps soak off much quicker and easier than acrylic hth

you can do it, but when I do it, I make sure I "encapsulate" the entire nail.
