What are acrylic nails?
Acrylic nails are a combination of acrylic liquid and acrylic powder. Mixing liquid and powder results in a thick mass that can easily be modeled into the desired shape. The curing process starts immediately after mixing the substances, so you only have a short time to shape the nails before they harden.
How do you achieve the right ratio of acrylic powder to liquid?
Finding the perfect ratio of acrylic powder to acrylic liquid is a challenge that requires a lot of practice and experience. The ideal ratio is 1.5 parts liquid to 1 part powder. Applying the right amount of acrylic powder requires a lot of training and expertise. As you gain more experience, you will be better at determining the right ratio. An incorrect ratio can cause the nails to over- or under-cure, which will affect the quality of the result.
How long does acrylic need to cure?
No lamp is needed to harden acrylic nails. The hardening is done by a chemical reaction between the liquid and the acrylic powder. It takes about 48 hours for the nails to harden completely.
