What is Acrylic powder?

There are two components needed. You need the acrylic powder which is a polymer,

And you are going to need the monomer, which is the liquid to blend with the acrylic powder. The monomer reacts with the powder to create a strong nail extension that air dries and can last up to three weeks. 

Acrylic powder are typically available in different colors, so clear is just the acrylic powder itself, and then you have your sheer colors, cover colors, color powders and also glitter powders.

Clear is used for almost every single set and it’s going to have the strongest adhesion.

Now that you know what acrylic is, let’s go over what kind of products you are going to need to get started.

You don’t need a lot to get started with acrylic but there are a few key products.

First you will need your acrylic powder, monomer which will react with the powder and a acrylic brush of the size between 12 and 14. and then you will need a dehydrator a primer.

If you are looking to do a nail extension you will need nail tips and nail glue. And of course a nail file and a top coat.

So how to choose these products?

• When you are choosing a monomer there are some things that you want to avoid. First, never use a monomer that includes either mma or hema. These ingredients have been banned by the FDA for causing irritation burning and damage to the nail bed. Second, always use a monomer that has a purple tint, because if you use a clear monomer it will work perfectly fine to build your nail, but you are going to get that yellowing on the nail.

• When choosing a acrylic powder, make sure that the powders are highly pigmented acrylic powder and have even color coverage.Good acrylic powders will be really smooth and buttery instead of chalky and crumbly.

The application

1: Push back the cuticles

2: File the nail surface

3: Choose a nail tip that fit, and glue it to the nail. Once it’s applied, trim and shape them well.

4: Apply dehydrator only to the natural nail bed. After it’s dried, apply primer also only to the natural nail.

5: Before applying any color to the nail bed, apply a thin layer of clear powder. It helps make your nails stronger.

6: Start about a hairline away from the cuticle and use the body of your brush to work the bead down to the free edge. When it’s done, let it dry for a few minutes.

7: Use a file to clean up the shape, and sharpen those edges.

Then buff away any imperfections

8: The final step, apply top coat, and cure it.

Notes:

1: Make sure that your monomer stays clean throughout the process. If it starts to get a little bit thick gummy or cloudy, It’s time to change it.

2: The liquid to monomer ratio

If you have too much monomer on your brush you will have a really runny and watery bead. And It’s not going to build any structure. If you don’t get enough monomer on your brush your bead will be too dry, and the powder will stuck to the brush.

The key is that you have to keep practicing and just feel it out.

gel polish vs regular polish

Regular nail polish: been used for a hundred years. Easy, and affordable.

Gel polish: been used for around 40 years and with some amazing features. Yet it is little high maintenance.

Well, which one is better? How do I choose them?

Regular nail polish:

For starters cost and supplies are very different, for regular nail polish, you don’t really need that much. You need a cuticle stick to push your cuticles back. You need a good file to be able to buff the natural nail and then another file to smooth it. Then you need a little bit of oil to get rid of the dust. Then you can wash your hands. Then you need a base coat, coat of color and a top coat. Finally you are gonna need some time to let it dry.

And as for gel polish, 

It’s basically the same. But you need a compatible lamp that go with the gel polish.

Both polishes begin with pushing back the cuticle. Both applications also require some filing to prep. And oil goes on before nail polish application. But gel polish need more complicated preparation on nails. And that is what makes it last. And after applying the base coat, here comes the biggest advantages for gel polish, the lamp. While regular nail polish are applied, you must to wait for it to dry. It may take 3 to 5 minutes or even more. But for gel polish, when you put your hand in the lamp ,you know between 30 to 60 seconds, It’s completely cured. And that's how you can recover the time you lost in the preparation phase.

Advantages and disadvantages:

And another cool thing about gel is it doesn’t dry as you apply and it also self levels. These are some amazing features that rugular nail polish doesn't have. And It’s going to last at least two weeks on natural nails

But when it comes to remove the nail polish gel polish could get little more tricky. And for regular nail polish, you just need to get yourself some nail polish remover and take some time to wipe it off.

To remove gel polish, you need to first use a nail drill machine to sand it, then continue sanding it with a file, and finally wrap your nail with a nail remover pack. This can take up to 15 minutes or more. But to protect you natural nails, you have no choice.

So here is the conclusion. 

It isn’t a matter of either or it’s just a matter of what service and what type of nail and durability and cost and time of service you are looking for.

What kind of builder gel is suitable for your nails?

First, when you have curved nails, and your nail surface is relatively flat Then you only need to use hardener.

Hardener has a medium consistency, so it is suitable for micro-construction

Apply a thin layer without curing it under the light.

Then take the gel and brush it back and forth in the middle of the nail surface until it is flat.

Turn the nail upside down and shape it

Three seconds or so, and then cure it immediately. Compared to the natural nail and the build up nail, it is much fuller

The effect will be more obvious after applying color.

If your nails are thin, soft, flat and uneven.

Use a builder gel to build up your nails.

It has a higher consistency and leveling, and most importantly, it does not generate too much heat when curing.

Take a small amount of gel for the first time

apply thinly without curing

Take a large bead of gel for the second time

Put it on the back edge of the nail

Push it out with light circular motion

Let the gel flow smoothly by itself

Note that the pen should not leave the gel

Thin all around, thick in the middle,  avoid touching the skin

Then turn it upside down and use the pen to paint up and down in the middle

Then you will see the difference.

How to properly treat the fluorescent agent in nail products.

In this article, we are going to explain in detail about fluorescents and hopefully help all nail art lovers to dispel their worries

First of all, we have three questions to answer

1: What exactly is fluorescent agent?

Fluorescent agent, also known as fluorescent whitening agent, is a fluorescent dye, or white dye, and a complex organic compound. It absorbs ultraviolet light and emits blue-violet fluorescence, which is neutralized with the yellow light produced by the object absorbing ultraviolet light, making the painted object look white and achieving the purpose of whitening.

2: Is fluorescent agent harmful to health?

• Fluorescents are not irritating to the skin: After years of animal and human experiments, even fluorescent whitening products that come into direct contact with the skin are not irritating to the skin and do not cause skin allergies. And through daily washing actions, such as hand washing and bathing, it can be easily washed off completely and will not be absorbed into the skin.

• No adverse effects on wound healing: The article "Toxicological properties of fluorescent brighteners" published in the German Journal of Dermatology in 1994 pointed out that even if the use of textile materials containing fluorescent brighteners in direct contact with wounds, there will be no adverse effects on wound healing, and no pathological changes to human skin.

• Metabolism: Fluorescent whitening agents are water-soluble and can be excreted quickly and completely through normal metabolism.

  The book "Environmental Quality and Safety Supplement Volume IV 'Fluorescent Whitening Agents'" published by Georg Thieme, Germany, shows that fluorescent whitening agents can be excreted in mice through metabolic studies. Metabolic studies have shown that the vast majority of fluorescent whitening agents are rapidly excreted through the intestine and are not absorbed by the intestine after heavy feeding of CBS. There is no residual fluorescent whitening agent in their blood, liver, and muscle. Therefore, even if a small amount of fluorescent whitening agent CBS enters the body, it will be excreted quickly through normal metabolism.

• Fluorescent brightener CBS is not carcinogenic: The European Union Detergent Association (A.I.S.E.) has shown that fluorescent brightener CBS (also called FWA-5) is not carcinogenic.

The toxicity of fluorescent brighteners is of the same level as that of salt used daily, and the lethal amount of both is very close, which means that, like salt, it is only life-threatening to ingest more than 50g at a time.

Moreover, fluorescent whitening agents are widely present in the items we use every day. For example: most white plastic products, white candles, white tablecloths, plastic storage boxes and A4 paper.

In the nail polish industry, fluorescent brighteners are also commonly used in top coats. And the top coat is often used on color gel and hardener that have already cured and are unlikely to be absorbed, unless you eat it.

3: What is the role of fluorescent agent in the top coat?

Why is fluorescent agent added inside the top coat? First of all, the top coat is mixed by a variety of raw materials, they can't be all transparent and colorless, so the top coat will generally become yellow under the sun.

The blue-violet fluorescence emitted by a small amount of fluorescent agent can neutralize the yellow light emitted by the top coat itself and achieve a balance, so that the top coat will not turn yellow.

However, when a top coat containing fluorescents is applied to the surface of a dark color or black nail polish, it will turn blue under the sunlight. For this problem, we recommend using a crystal clear top coat that does not contain fluorescent brighteners.

As you can see in the picture, the top part of the nail is painted with a crystal clear top coat, and under UV light, the white color turns yellow and the black color remains unchanged. And the top coat with fluorescent whitening agent has no change in the white color under the UV light, and the black color will turn blue.

Therefore, the summary is that fluorescent whitening agent is not a dangerous ingredient, it is important to choose the top coat with or without fluorescent whitening agent according to the color you apply to your nails.
