Many people do this and the results are as awesome as acrylic nails themselves. If you wanna know how you can do this, just read ahead, this guide has everything you need to know.
Let’s explore!
What is Monomer For Nails?
Monomer is the liquid that we use with acrylic powder when creating acrylic nails. Chemicals like EMA and MMA are present in liquid monomer. When both of these chemicals are mixed with a polymer powder, they form a putty that is applied to the nail bed.
After drying and hardening, it creates a strong, durable nail.

1. Preparation:
Preparing your nails is a must before you start any manicure procedure. Rinse your hands nicely, clean and dry them properly. Now, push back your cuticles and buff the surface of your nails lightly to remove any shine. This step is must to help the acrylic powder adhere better.
2. Application of Base Coat:
After the preparation step, now you have to apply a thin layer of base coat on your natural nails. This step sets a smooth surface for the acrylic powder to adhere to, which helps protect your natural nails.
3. Dip Your Nails:
Now, dip your nails into the acrylic powder and keep dipping till entire surface is covered.
4. Tap off Excess Powder:
Gently tap your finger to remove any excess powder from your nails. This step helps prevent clumping and ensures an even application.
5. Repeat if Necessary:
If you want a thicker or more opaque look, you can repeat the dipping process. Just ensure to tap off excess powder between each layer.
6. Seal with Top Coat:
Once you’re satisfied with the coverage, seal the acrylic powder with a top coat. This adds shine and helps protect your manicure, ensuring it lasts longer.
7. Finish with Cuticle Oil:
When the top coat is finally done and dried, now you need to apply the drops of cuticle oil at the edge and massage them properly to absorb to moisturize and nourish your cuticles.
8. Clean Up:
Clean up any stray powder or polish around your nails using a small brush dipped in nail polish remover.
9. Enjoy Your Manicure:
Admire your beautiful nails and enjoy your DIY acrylic powder manicure!
