How does Acrylic Nail Powder Work to create a Stronger Nail?
When the monomer and the polymer, the acrylic nail powder, are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs which then creates long chains of polymer strands. These polymer strands, when applied to any shape, conform to the shape and the linked chains then create a strong barrier across the entire nail (or where ever the liquid has been applied). Oftentimes, dyes and pigments are also added to the final resin (such as benzyl peroxide which gives it that white appearance). Color stabilizers are often added to the resin to prevent any discoloration that is often caused by exposure to the sun or any UV rays. This helps prevent the yellowing of the nails. Different alternations may be made to the acrylic nail powder so that a gel nail or artificial fiberglass nail is created. For gel nails, this requires “prejoining” monomers into short chains (which are called “oligomers”). Oligomers have significantly more thousand monomers in length, which makes them inflexible once the resin hardens. This particu
