What is it for?
Modern manicure with acrylic powder includes design, extension and strengthening of the nail plate mechanically. To create marigolds, so-called transparent powder is used, the grains of which actually have a white tint. If for some reason the gel polish breaks off or a crack appears on the nail plate, the powder creates good adhesion between the coatings, ensuring strength.
The pliable material is mixed into a plastic gel mass and hardens, forming a durable nail that is resistant to external factors. When used correctly, it does not peel off. Able to hide and even out some damage to the nail plate. You can create an unusual design with acrylic powder on your nails using different colors, glitter or voluminous elements.
Strengthening nails with acrylic powder
What is acrylic powder for, what to do with it and how to dilute it
Let's find out what to do with acrylic powder and what it is actually needed for. More recently, among the fashion trends in nail extensions, artificial manicurists began to actively use this modern product, which is a fine polymer powder.
To create a beautiful manicure, this polymer powder is mixed with other components. How to dilute acrylic powder to make it suitable for creating strong nails? This powder is combined with a monomer, upon interaction with which it hardens and allows nail art masters to turn into reality the most original ideas for decorating nails. As a result of combining with the monomer, the polymer powder hardens and becomes very durable and strong.
Despite the simplicity and ease that characterize the process of creating a manicure, you should still learn in detail how to use acrylic nail powder so as not to end up in an unpleasant situation. Experts recommend giving preference to high-quality materials, since when purchasing low-quality products, even the right actions will not help create a beautiful and durable manicure. When choosing a material, you need to pay attention to its composition and properties; it should closely cover the nail plate and not blur.
Compound
To increase shelf life and make the result more durable, acrylic manicure powder used to contain methyl methacrylate, which is now banned in many countries. The product was toxic because methyl methacrylate can cause allergic reactions and has a depressant effect on the kidneys, liver and central nervous system. It is quite natural that negative reviews remain to this day.
Recently, the composition has changed and the base is ethyl methacrylate, so there is no longer any reason to worry. This is a colorless liquid, slightly soluble in water, and its properties resemble its predecessor. The irritating properties of ethyl methacrylate are less pronounced, it has a neutral odor, is of higher quality, harmless and safe.
