Why does a manicurist need acrylic powder?

In order to properly grow nails, you need to have three main components: a competent specialist, tools and quality materials. In recent years, the method of creating a nail plate, one of the components of which is acrylic powder, is especially popular.

Magic powder

In the process of nail care, women usually face many problems. Over time, the appearance begins to spoil the overgrown cuticle or suddenly appeared burrs. But most of all, the nail plate causes anxiety. It can break down or delaminate. The recovery process usually takes a long time. But this can be avoided by using the method of acrylic building. Artificially created plate is much stronger than natural. It is very practical and allows the hands to look well-groomed for longer. One of the main components of such a composition is acrylic powder.

It is a fine powder, which when mixed with the rest of the ingredients creates a gel-like mass that solidifies in a matter of minutes. Previously, acrylic powder contained methyl methacrylate. After compounding with the monomer, the composition solidified only after heating with ultraviolet rays. In addition, the powder was quite toxic and sometimes caused various fungal diseases. Now this powder is made on the basis of ethyl methacrylate. This material is superior to its predecessor in all respects.

Known methodology

Nails began to grow not so long ago. The procedure very quickly became popular, and now almost every manicure salon has a specialist who in a short time will be able to radically change the appearance of the client's nails. Interesting is the fact that the very method of creating a wonderful mixture was known for a long time. It was used by dentists for making seals. And now, in front of the patient, they use a special medical instrument to make a plastic mass, which also includes acrylic powder. And in order for the mass to harden faster, a radiant lamp is used. The reception is fairly simple, but very effective.

With nails, the same situation occurs. Two materials are involved in the work: liquid monomer and powder. Mixing, they turn into a viscous mass, which is applied with a special brush. It is easily leveled around the perimeter of the nail plate and self-freezes after a short time. This procedure has a number of significant advantages:

1) Nails become much stronger. They do not separate and do not break.

2) During the work, the mixture does not touch the skin.

3) There is no need to use additional equipment (lamp).

4) Drying time is shortened.

5) If necessary, the artificial plate is easily removed without serious damage.

Even these qualities are already enough to give their preference to this method.

A rich variety of products

In the technique of acrylic building , more and more new materials are appearing every year. For example, acrylic powder for nails already now has many varieties. Among them there are:

• High-plastic materials with medium and high polymerization rates,
• Stained glass,
• Camouflaging,
• Colored,
• Mixture for the French manicure,
• Powders for aquarium design.

In addition, modern powders are suitable for use with a wide variety of monomers. Create whole collections and product lines that allow you to raise a normal manicure to a higher level. For example, a colored powder can be used as an initial component.

As a result, the new nail will initially have the desired shade, and there will be no need to decorate it with a varnish. The nail can be made translucent. This will add to it naturalness and at the same time visually hide all the defects. In addition, the acrylic method allows you to choose not only the length, but also the shape of the nail. It can be made square, rounded, executed in the form of a droplet, stiletto or peaks. Everything depends on the client's desire.

Custom decor

If the nails are treated with gel-varnish and already have some shade, this does not mean that it can not be changed. Such a manicure can be easily adjusted. To do this, you will need paint-gel, acrylic powder and UV-lamp.

All actions need to be done calmly and confidently:

1. Using a brush, apply a colored gel on the surface of the nail plate. Draw a picture in advance and pre-practice a little.
2. Using a special scapula, collect powder from the can and sprinkle with it a processed nail.
3. Wait a few seconds, but not very long.
4. Gently shake the powder back into the jar.
5. Place your hand in the lamp hole and allow the nail to dry for 2 minutes.
6. Remove the remaining particles of powder with a brush.

If everything is done correctly, then within an hour the manicure will be completely different. Of course, a complex drawing will be difficult to depict, so we must try to use simpler geometric figures.

Strengthening of structural strength

Unique powder is suitable not only for building and decoration. Its possibilities are much wider. With the help of such a powder, the nail can be made more durable. With such a simple procedure, any woman can cope on her own. For this, only necessary materials, tools and equipment are needed. Strengthening acrylic powder is carried out in three stages:

1. Apply a basic coating for each nail. This should be done very carefully, applying the composition smoothly so that it does not touch the skin.
2. Sprinkle the surface of the nail plate with powder, brushing it off with a brush with a slight tapping.
3. Dry hands in an ultraviolet lamp.
4. Remove residual powder with a clean brush.
5. Cover the nail with a thin layer of top.
6. Dry your hands again under the lamp.

The nails are ready for further processing. After that, they can be covered with colored varnish and enjoy the work done. If necessary, this procedure can be repeated after a while.
