Ingredients
Ethyl Methacrylate (EMA)
A safe, industry-standard base for controlled curing.
2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate
Contains Less Then 1% Of HEMA. Improves adhesion and helps bond the product to the natural nail. Used in safe, controlled levels for professional application.
Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate:
Adds flexibility and strength to prevent lifting or cracking. Helps the product hold its shape and structure.
N,N-Dimethyl-p-Toluidine (Dimethyltolylamine)
A curing accelerator that helps the product polymerize (harden) efficiently under room temperature.
MEHQ (p-Hydroxyanisole)
A stabilizer that extends shelf life and helps prevent premature polymerization (hardening inside the bottle).
Frequent Asked Questions
Can your monomer be used with other acrylic powders?
Yes. Many professionals do. However, we recommend pairing it with Hey Beautiful acrylic powders because they are chemically formulated to work as a complete system. Our monomers and powders are developed together to maintain optimal balance, improve retention, and deliver consistent performance from application to wear. It’s not about selling more—it’s about reducing variables. At the end of the day, it’s pure chemistry.
What is acrylic monomer used for?
Acrylic monomer is the liquid component used with acrylic powder to create a durable, sculptable nail enhancement. When combined, the two form a strong polymer that hardens as it sets, creating long-lasting artificial nails.
Why does using the same brand monomer and powder matter?
Using a matched system helps reduce variables. Our monomers and powders are developed together to support better retention, predictable set times, smoother application, and overall performance stability. This isn’t about selling more—it’s about chemistry.
Does monomer affect retention and lifting?
Absolutely. The quality and formulation of monomer play a major role in adhesion and longevity. A well-balanced monomer helps improve bond strength, reduces premature lifting, and maintains structure over time.
Is your monomer MMA or EMA based?
Our monomer is EMA-based, meeting modern professional standards for safety, flexibility, and performance. It is designed for professional use and compliant with current U.S. manufacturing guidelines.
Is your monomer suitable for all climates?
Yes. While temperature and humidity always play a role in acrylic application, our monomer is formulated to perform reliably across a wide range of salon environments.
Where is your monomer made?
Our monomers are made in the USA and produced in fresh, carefully controlled batches to ensure purity, consistency, and professional-grade performance.
Is your monomer beginner-friendly or professional only?
It is designed for professional use but appreciated by both experienced techs and advancing beginners due to its balance, stability, and ease of control.
Does acrylic monomer cause cancer?
There is no scientific evidence showing that professional EMA-based acrylic monomer causes cancer when used properly. Modern salon monomers are regulated and designed for professional cosmetic use.
Is it safe to work with monomer while pregnant?
Many OB-GYNs state that working with acrylics is generally acceptable with proper precautions. That said, pregnancy increases sensitivity to fumes, so excellent ventilation is essential. We strongly recommend working in a well-ventilated space, using local exhaust systems when possible, and limiting prolonged exposure.
For those seeking a gentler option, our Advance Plus Monomer is formulated with less harsh ingredients while maintaining professional performance. It’s a preferred choice for technicians who are pregnant or more sensitive to strong odors.
As always, consult your healthcare provider for personal medical guidance—because safety comes first.
Absolutely love this monomer! The consistency is amazing and easy to work with. The scent really impressed me, and even my clients have commented that it doesn’t smell as strong as other monomers. I’m very happy with it!
Works perfect for me. Thanks

Monomer barely has any odor. I love this monomer
works AMAZING with den
I love how it doesnt have such a strong smell
But you guys don’t have a 20# brush and my monomer arrived open. I like it but it’s a boomer that you guys don’t have more brushes!!! I love the products tho
Love this monomer
Me encanta no huele mucho y controla muy bien el acrilico
Odorless Monomer (Slow Setting)
The quality of the products is great.
10/10 smells not strong
I can’t say enough good things about this monomer! First off, the odor is much lower than other brands I’ve used, which my clients LOVE. It lays like butter, making my acrylic application so much smoother. No weird bubbles, no crystallization, just perfectly smooth beads every time. The set time is just right—not too fast, not too slow—giving me enough time to work without feeling rushed. I’ve had clients coming back after 4+ weeks with NO lifting, which speaks volumes about how strong this stuff is. If you’re looking for high-quality monomer that’s actually made for professionals, this is it!" 💖🔥
Muy Bueno
I’ve tried a lot of monomers, but this one is next-level. The consistency, durability, and finish are unmatched! 10/10 recommend! 💖✨
I was skeptical about switching monomers, but OMG I’m glad I did! This formula is so easy to work with, and the fact that it’s FDA-approved and safe gives me peace of mind. I’ve used brands before that left my clients with irritation, but not this one. The adhesion is next level—my acrylic nails last WEEKS without any lifting or discoloration. Also, let’s talk about the consistency—it self-levels beautifully, making my job easier and my sets look more flawless. My only regret? Not finding this sooner!" 💅✨
Hands down the best monomer I’ve ever used! 🙌 The consistensy is perfect, and it doesn’t set too fast or too slow. My acrylic application has never been smoother! 💅✨
Love that this monomer has a low odor compared to others I’ve tried. Plus, the adhesion is incredible! My clients’ nails last so much longer now. 💖🔥
The best odorless monomer yesssssss👍🏾
The retention is amazing! My acrylic sets beautifully, and I don’t have issues with lifting. Definitely repurchasing. 💕
This is a game-changer! No lifting, no yellowing, and super easy to work with. Perfect for pros who care about quality. 10/10 recommend! 😍
