Monomer for Acrylic Nails
To start with the process of applying acrylic nails, we must first learn what each material we use is made of and its functions.
This point is very important since the professional service you provide to your business, and the health of your clients, depends on this.


So we will start with the key point of all this, and they are two materials with which we are going to work in the application of acrylic nails without exception.

Monomer and Polymer
Essential for the realization of porcelain nails or better known as acrylic nails.
Monomer is a liquid chemical, vital to be used in the process of creating what we know as acrylic.
Here we are going to stop a bit to know the 2 types of monomers that exist in the market:

• Monomers composed of MMA Methyl Methacrylate.
• Monomers composed of EMA Ethyl Methacrylate.

Now we will see that not all monomers are the most suitable and safe for applying acrylic nails.
Since the monomer composed of MMA is used for the creation of dental prostheses and porcelains, it is used by dentists in the medical area.

Therefore, it makes them more aggressive when working with them on our natural nails.

We can recognize them by their presentation.

They are sold by the liter, some are not labeled and the ingredients cannot be seen.
You also recognize them for their low cost in the market, another method of recognizing a monomer that contains MMA is by its too strong aroma, even causing dizziness and vomiting, it is advisable to check the color, although as a general rule it is purple, this type of monomer can become a much darker shade.


In case of having a label, we must read the compounds very well, when you look at the initials MMA you will immediately know that this type of monomer is not recommended for use in your work area.

We must take into account some harmful reactions when using this type of liquid.

• Skin allergies
• Burning at the time of application.
• Deformation of the natural nail.
• Difficult to remove.
• Loss of sensation in the fingertips.

Having clarified this point, we will see the importance of knowing perfectly the materials with which we work.

Now let's look at the type of acrylic nail monomer that you can use in your work area.

Monomer with EMA Ethyl Methacrylate ingredients, you find them in trusted distributors, which have been in the market for years, the presentation and packaging comes with a safety cap, it has visible ingredients which highlights this compound "EMA Ethyl Methacrylate", they are low odor or acceptable scent, color tends to be lighter.

Another way to recognize a good quality monomer is at the time of application, you can see that the acrylic is moldable, when removing the acrylic nails it does not become chewy or too rigid.
