How do I get my acrylic paint to dry without becoming tacky?

So the girlfriend and I painted an old pine coffee table with Glennen acrylic, semi-gloss paint, per recommendation by Home Depot. We sanded down the table, and added two layers of tinted primer before adding two coats of the semi-gloss. We then let the paint dry for apprx. 12 hours, with fans running to speed up the drying process.

The problem is, the paint still feels “tacky” and it’s been over a week since we painted! Not only that, but sometimes items left on the table become adhered to the paint and take off with them a small, thin piece of paint skin when they’re picked up. My question is this: is there some treatment we can put on top of this acrylic semi-gloss to get it to not be so tacky? Do we need to try a different type of paint completely?

Ok just a question towards the answer. Did you let each layer dry completely before applying the next one. If you did it would have taken a couple of days to get as many layers that you said you put on. If you don’t let each layer dry before putting on the next one then the first one has a hard time drying. Your girlfriend should know this. Nail polish does the same thing.
