FAQ's
Yes, but they are professional-grade formulas. With proper liquid-to-powder ratio control, they perform beautifully.
For best results, pair with a high-quality EMA monomer — lower-quality monomers can affect clarity, set time, and retention.
Environmental factors such as moisture, humidity, or rapid temperature changes can affect acrylic powders. This is rare but can happen with any brand. Store powders in a cool, dry place with lids tightly sealed.
Lifting is typically caused by:
- Incomplete prep (oil, moisture, dust)
- Overfiling or underfiling the natural nail
- Using alcohol/acetone as prep instead of proper dehydrator + primer
- Incorrect liquid-to-powder ratio
- Mixing incompatible brands
Proper prep and a high-quality EMA monomer dramatically reduce lifting.
This usually comes from:
- Weak apex or incorrect structure
- Using a 2-in-1/dip powder instead of a true monomer-based acrylic
- Low-quality monomer that doesn’t fully cure
- Cold temperatures affecting polymerization
- Natural nails that are very flexible or damaged
Strength comes from both powder formula and proper structure placement.
It’s not recommended.
Each system is chemically balanced to work together. Mixing brands can cause:
- Slow curing
- Lifting
- Discoloration
- Brittleness
For the strongest and safest results, use a matched system.
Yellowing can be caused by:
- Low-quality monomer
- UV exposure
- Overexposure to heat or chemicals
- Using non-EMA liquids
Professional monomers with UV stabilizers prevent yellowing.
A slight warmth is normal. Burning usually means:
- Overfiled or thinned natural nail
- Too much primer
- Strong primers used incorrectly
- Sensitive or compromised nail plates
Always prep gently and use primer sparingly.
Yes — use 100% acetone after filing down the bulk. Never pry or force product off.
