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.

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.

[@Babiiegurl6]

how can you build the nail w acetone when that’s what’s supposed to break the nail down when time for removal?

[@mindysue1802]

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 ??

[@mindysue1802]

It lasts like a normal dip set would.

[@julielove7053]

Yes this is an actual method that was introduced a few years ago, I love this method!

Im actually here, cz i read that many monomers contains cancerous chemicals (not just rhd mma ones) so ... i think i better go with the alcohol an acetone.

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 👀 🍿

[@ioanna_vsl]

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]

@@ioanna_vsl 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 😌

[@hismsmrs2140]

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

[@rachellesnailglam_beauty2245]

Regular topcoat and acetone! Then no lamp needed maybe?

I thought my monomer was coming in today and all I have is Acetone right now. So I looked up what can I use if I don't have monomer 🤣 I do love those colors to. I bought some nail drying spray. Try to see if it works with that. Hopefully u could do another video that would be Awesome. I want to see what happens if u set it under the UV light as well. I be having so many ideas that my mind is clowded 🤣 also did u save the primer mixed with acetone. I probably would of 🤣 your AWESOME 💕 as I am watching your video and commenting at the same time. The ones that can pick up and stick but don't dry could actually be a good part of learning how to pick up a bead and when ur done u can just wipe it off and try again instead of having to waist some items. One thing I do love about you is that you take risk and love to explore. That is why you are my #1 channel and it's not ever boring which means a lot cause I like to be entertained. Maybe one day I would be able to do the same.
