can i use a campbell hausfeld airbrush for my nails if i get nail art paint and hook it up the my campbell hausfed air compressor? or do i have to ge one especially for nail art? thank you!=]

Interesting question. I guess you could so as long as the PSI (pounds per square inch) are with in levels, not sure what they'd be but I assume the air compressor would be higher. On the count of tank size and motor strength, but probably around 50 psi for normal on an air compressor. Also to, moisture content. Most folks don't realize that if you are working on a project, saying painting a car in the summer time using a paint rig, you'll need a way to filter out the water contained inside the compressed air. Such as one from: http://www.kellerproducts.net/compressed_air_filters.html
This is probably not a problem with low compression systems such as I would assume in an air brush system for painting nails. I bet you could get it to work but would probably be more of a hassle.

You could also try reliving some pressure from the tank after you unplug the system. Let it down to around 15 psi or so and test it out then. Drop it down further by releasing air until you've got a good steady flow and note the psi on the tank's guage. You'll have to plug it back in and let it reach that level again if the pressure falls to low. Reason I say unplug it is because those tanks have a pressure regulator in them and when the pressure drops to far it will kick the compressor on, bringing it back to the set level, which may be to high for your need.
