Transparent Acrylic Powder. Acrylic nail powder (polymer) and acrylic liquid (monomer) are the two components of the acrylic artificial nail system. Acrylic can be used on natural nails, with tips, or with forms.

To create an acrylic ball, dip the special acrylic brush in the liquid and wipe the excess on the side of the container. Touch the tip of the brush to the acrylic powder and create the desired ball size. The more liquid you leave on your brush, the larger the acrylic ball you will make. The longer you leave your brush in the acrylic powder, the drier your ball will come out. Ideally, the ball should be medium-sized, smooth, round, and have a satin finish.

Always use a disinfectant and primer before applying acrylic to achieve the best possible adhesion.
