Nail monomer: what it is and how to use?

Many girls like to perform nail extensions to get not only a beautiful manicure, but also to create an amazing design on long nails that will look spectacular. Nail extension is impossible to produce without a monomer, so it is worth considering in more detail what it is and how to apply it correctly.

Nail monomer is one of the main components used for acrylic extensions. It is presented in the form of a liquid agent, which, when interacting with acrylic powder, begins to harden. It is also called liquidation.

With the help of this tool is quite easy to apply acrylic, while the liquid does not affect acrylic in terms of color change, since it consists of ultraviolet inhibitors. Monomer makes acrylic plastic, strong and durable, because it consists of special plasticizers. Many professionals of the nail industry use monomer when working with multi-colored acrylic powders.

As you know, when building gel compulsory tool is a lamp for gel varnish, because it is with the help of the process of polymerization of the coating. Acrylic marigold growth occurs without the use of this device, since the hardening process is carried out due to a chemical reaction when mixing acrylic powder and liquidation. This method for many masters of the nail industry is characterized by convenience. It avoids the cost of buying a lamp. In addition, there is no need to carry it with you when you visit the customer at home.

Today, manufacturers of products for manicure offer a wide range of monomers. They differ in different characteristics, thereby providing the opportunity to choose the most convenient option for each customer.

Nail monomers vary depending on the hardening time of the material.

• For beginners it is better when the tool freezes gradually, because in this way it is possible to correct the shortcomings and not rush to carry out the extension itself of the nail plates. You can forget about the rush, to devote maximum effort to each marigold. This option is ideal for modeling acrylic.
• Masters in the field of nail extension prefer monomers with an average rate of hardening. This option is often used to create three-dimensional design.
• Real professionals prefer to work exclusively with fast-setting options. Such monomers are the guarantors of excellent quality for a long time. Nail not only retains color, it is not prone to yellowing ahead of time. From the master requires skills and high speed work.

When choosing a monomer for nails It is necessary to consider the following nuances:

• for a durable manicure, it is worth choosing liquids that harden rather quickly, then you can be sure that the chips on your nails will not appear exactly;
• on sale are odorless liquids that will be indispensable for customers with a heightened sense of smell;
• to make a French manicure, you should pay attention to the special monomers, which have a blue or purple hue, this tone will help to emphasize the white color better.

For nail extensions, you should mix acrylic powder with liquid, then this mixture is applied to the nail with a brush. The curing time of the composition is on average two minutes. During this period, the master must not only apply the composition to the nail plate, but also distribute it evenly, creating a flat surface. When the coating hardens, you can proceed to adjusting the nails by filing. After that, a fixing agent should be applied to the nail plate.

When working with acrylic powder and liquid there is no need to use special forms or containers. Everything is done quite simply - the brush is first dipped into the monomer, then into powder. It is necessary to immerse not the whole brush, but only its tip, while all actions should be carried out as carefully as possible. On the brush should form a small ball, it is he who is distributed on the nail plate. Its consistency must be viscous.
