If you are talking about acrylic paint that you buy in craft stores, then yes - you can use it for nail art. Stores like Walmart also carry these paints in the craft section.You don't need to spend a lot of money on the paints either. The cheaper brands work just as well as more expensive brands. For example, a 2 ounce bottle of acrylic paint shouldn't cost you more than a couple of dollars at the most. Also, but inexpensive brushes as well.

• You can, but it will peel off.
  I paint with acrylics on canvas, but since nails are smooth it won't stay on.

• acrylic art paint is water based. presumably you need some sort of enamel based nail varnish. also i suspect they may leave a lot of brush strokes
