Acrylic Nail enhancements created by combining monomer liquid and polymer powder How can liquid and powder products be applied to the natural nail, over a nail tip, sculpted to extend the natural nail Polymerization a chemical reaction caused by monomers that are linked together to create long chains Catalyst used to speed up the chemical reactions, they set the curing time for the acrylic BPO benzoyl perozide / the initiator added to the polymer powder Basic colors of acrylic white, pink,clear and natural Initiator start the chain reacton that leads to the creation of long polymer chains When soes the polymer process begin the second the liquid in the brush picks up the powder and forms a bead Mix Ratio powder and liquid combined creates a mix ratio known as a bead There are three types of beads dry, medium, wet Equal amounts of liquid and powder are called what dry bead Twice as much liquid as powder is called a wet bead 50 % more liquid than powder is a medium bead Ideal mixture of powder and liquid medium bead Proper mix ratio of powder and liquid prevents brittleness,discoloration,weakness Nail Dehydrator removes surface oils form the nail plate Nail Primer used to enhance tha adhesion of nail enhancements Abrasives medium grit(180-240) is used for natural nail prep/fine(350) grit for final buffing To reach peak strength for acrylic it takes 24-48 hours Nail Forms placed under the free edge and used to extend the nail enhancement Nail Tips pre formed nail extensions made from ABS or tenite acetate plastic Nail Adhesives used for securing nail tips to the natural nail Dappen Dish special holders for monomer and powders Nail lBrush made of sable hair used fro tha applicaton of acrylic Rebalance a method for maintaining the beauty, durability longevity of the enhancement Oderless acrylic has the same chemistry as regular acrylic If you re-wet the enhancement it could do what cause the wrong mix ratio and this can lead to product break down Hand sanitizers they can not clean the hands,they can not remove dirt an debri, they only kill some of the bacteria Nails/ACRYLIC NAILS
