Making My Own ACRYLIC MONOMER At Home - DUPE

[@NailCareerEducation]

I love your awesome experimental nature. I’m also impressed your not applying the experiments onto real fingers👍🏼 note: if you use primer as a monomer just be aware primer is super concentrated. Over exposure with primer in particular can cause a chemical burn on skin. Also acetone breaks products down, so even it appears to hold together while sculpting it, as a nail it will crumble pretty quick. You should be a scientist - you could develop future nail products😊keep experimenting - this is how we discover new things🤍suzie

Firstly just want to say I love all of ur videos they are really an inspiration to me. My favorite thing about nail is that it helps me relax. Whenever I’m going through stressful time or depressed. When I do nails it helps me release. And I just love all the possibilities nails have, such as designs and materials.

[@mamaindy61]

A monomer is a single molecule that can be bound with another molecule to form a polymer. A polymer is many molecules. The molecules must be able to bond with each other. That’s why monomer and powder work so well together. I’m not trying to be an asshole, I’m just sharing knowledge. I love watching your videos. I always learn something new. Thank you.

[@katrinabina6775]

The primer and acetone had the closet texture of what monomer would do

I've actually used a base coat for my dip nails. I use it as my "glue" for the powder to stick to then once I dip it in the powder I put it under the lamp and then brush it off and do it all over again until I get desired thickness.

[@layansalama6655]

how long dose it last ??

It lasts like a normal dip set would.

In your last video I was literally just gonna ask if you could show us how you add the nail polish to the monomer to make it a different color, but this is way interesting too 👀 🍿

[@i.8885]

Adding gel polish to monomer is harmful. Nail career education invited a nail chemist to answer if this trend is safe and and he said no because the gel won't be able to cure after it's mixed with acrylic

[@daiziaashleyj]

@@i.8885 I never said it was gel 👌🏾 I used regular nail polish because obviously if it was gel it wouldn’t cure and my nails came out perfect 😌

It works it makes it a jelly nail color but use clear acrylic to achieve this jelly look Put a couple of drops of polish then use clear acrylic for your set and then polish with clear gel or top coat and then you have the clear jelly polish look

Ok so in monomer there's a component that begins a process that's called the catalyst which begins the curing process and you know it's working because it gets warm which its called an exothermic reaction and you can't create that with just any old product.

Does that effect the way it last or ?? Please explain
