When performing the build-up, design and strengthening of nail plates, a powder of a strong porous material, originally developed for dentistry, is widely used. This is acrylic powder for nails - how to use this substance is taught on the courses of manicure, but mastering the technology of applying the powder is simple and independent. Having the desire and persistence, and also giving sufficient time to practice, it is easy to achieve tremendous results.
How to use acrylic powder for nail extensions?
To extend the nail bed, give it the desired shape, correctly model the edges, you will need acrylic powder and a special liquid (liquid, monomer).
Extensions are made in 2 ways, using forms for nails or artificial tips.
Before the beginning of the procedure it is important to immediately decide on the future design in order to pick up the powder of the desired color. With a simple classic build, we recommend transparent or camouflage material.
The technique of using forms consists of the following stages:
- preparation and degreasing of nails;
- Primer application;
- attachment of forms;
- distribution of acrylic drop by brush;
- giving the material the desired shape and length;
- waiting (about a minute);
- removal of forms;
- application of the activator;
- processing, polishing of nails.
This acrylic drop is easy to get - dipped the brush first into the monomer, and then into the powder. As a result, a chemical thermal reaction occurs at which the solid material becomes plastic.
It is important to remember that acrylic quickly freezes, in about 1 minute, so it's necessary to work quickly, but neatly.
Building with the use of tips is done similarly, artificial plates must be glued to natural nails and, before applying the material, saw the joint. To remove them after the build-up is not necessary, only to give shape.
How to use acrylic powder for nail design?
The described powder allows creating on the plates unique three-dimensional patterns and decorative elements. Elasticity and density of the material provides maximum convenience and ease of operation with it.
Here's how you can use acrylic powder for nail design:
- modeling;
- 3D- and 4D-modeling;
- effect of velvet sand.
Professionals with a lot of experience actually create acrylic sculptures on nail plates.
The method of application is to quickly and accurately handle acrylic drops. With the help of a brush, they need to give the desired shape, relief and volume within a minute. For this, several simple methods are used:
- stretching;
- forcing;
- Raising the edge above the plane;
- click.
There is also a more interesting method of creating a volumetric decor. First, small parts are formed on a separate surface, to which acrylic does not adhere. For example, on a paper substrate from under the forms for building. After their solidification and separation from the base, all the parts are glued together on a plastic drop.

What kind of acrylic powder to use to strengthen nails?
Even with very careful care, it is not always possible to grow nail plates, to protect them from delamination, cracks and breakages. Therefore, among women, it is popular to use acrylic powder to strengthen nails , which is easy to perform even on their own. It is enough to apply 2 thin layers of material to fill all microscopic damage and prevent them in the future.
It is best to strengthen the nail plates with a transparent acrylic powder, but if there are stains, risks, streaks or other defects, it is recommended to use beige, light pink or camouflage powder.
