I cant see why not. I think you might be wise to ask for a mask so you dont breath in any nasty chemicals - i think thats the concern.

I first had acrylic nails when DS1 was born 7 1/2 years ago, I have continued with them (now just have an overlay on my nails) throughout all my pregnancies.
In fact with DD I had my nails done then went inot labour 3 hours later!
