What is the best monomer for acrylic nails

 What is the best monomer for acrylic nails

The monomer for acrylic nails is essential to carry out our acrylic nail application works.
For this reason it is important that you know what your material for acrylic nails is made of and take the necessary measures for the health of your clients and safety in your business.

Let's take a closer look at this information and the materials with which we work every day.

- What is the best monomer for acrylic nails and nail art accessories

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.

I invite you to subscribe and look at me there.

As you can see, to start your business, you don't need to have all the materials for a nail salon.

Business plan for nail salon
Now let's start with a nail salon business plan.
When you ask me if it is profitable to start a nail business? I answer that yes. As long as it is something that you are passionate about, that you already have a training and a start plan.

If you already have your material to start, and a training that you have through having taken courses in the application of acrylic nails.
The next step is to know where you want to start your nail business, at home or in a local?
When you start with your first applications, you can practice with your family and friends.
However, you must start making money, to restock your material.
In this case I recommend you start at home, to acquire more practice, this will help you to know the prices they have in the market, at the same time that you begin to generate your own clientele.

You can allocate a place in your home where your acrylic nails business is, and have the privacy to dedicate the necessary time to your clients, without interruptions, as if you were going to work at a local.

Or redecorating some furniture that you have in your house!

As you can see, there are different alternatives that will help you solve your doubts about "how to start a nail business at home".




If your capital allows you to rent a place, we will see different factors.

When we talk about paying the rent of a premises, we must take 2 things into account.
The location and how much you want to earn.

The location of your nail shop, let's say it is the spearhead of your business, you need to take some time to research the key points of your city.
This in order to analyze if it is convenient for you to rent that place, taking into account the following.

• How much flow of people travel daily in that area.
• For a beauty business, you want the flow of people to be mostly women.
• If it is in a square (which I recommend) how much security does it have?
• Have parking.
• Check if neighboring stores already have this service or derivatives, do not worry about the competition, just find out that they have the same business target.
• Check that the square is aimed at a family environment, such as a shopping center or a super market.
• It is not advisable to put your premises in a square where it is mostly focused on the male gender (hardware stores, strippers, mechanical workshops, carpentry.)
• How much do you want to earn? It depends on that to find the type of client you are looking for and that they pay for your services, you can start with an amount in mind.
• Surely you know clients who have paid 500 to 700 pesos for their nail application in a Spa.
• And clients who can pay a maximum of 250 to 400 pesos when working from home, or beauty parlors in your area.
• and from this point it depends that a nail business generates different types of income.
• The payment of the rent of your premises, as well as the services and administrative expenses.
• These are just some points that I want you to keep in mind .

Just as important is to review the type of style for a nail business (vintage, retro, modern, etc)
In addition to creating harmony between the decoration and the furniture, you also print your personal stamp.



Promote your nail business on social media
Promote your nail business on social networks, it is essential, accounts with Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or through Google Adsense, never stop promoting your services through these means.
I recommend paid advertising, since it is aimed at a target audience, where you choose the age and gender range, I have it verified and it actually works.
Speaking of social networks, start by creating a page on Facebook and let them know more about your business.

In both cases, whether you work from home or decide to rent a place, you should look for an accountant to help you with the tax issue, remember to have all your stationery in order, to avoid some type of sanction or fine in the future.
It may sound a bit tedious when talking about taxes and all these things, but it is well worth the time.

I want to conclude this article with the following; The most important thing is to take action on your business goal and do it now, with the resources you have.
Don't wait for everything to be perfect to do it.
Start making money, doing what you like the most and it will not feel like a job (or maybe it does, but you are working for your business)

Structure of the natural nail and anatomy of the nail

 Structure of the natural nail and anatomy of the nail

Knowing the structure of the natural nail and the anatomy of the nail is very important for us.
Only in this way can we recognize how we are going to work with each of our clients.

I recommend that when taking a beginner acrylic nail course, you ask if there is a class that provides this information.

In this article we will see what the physiology of the nail and its functions are composed of.

When we study the anatomy of the nail, we are going to find different issues in this regard.
And we will not only base ourselves on knowing the parts of the nails, we must also have a study on nail diseases, among others.

- Structure of the natural nail and anatomy of the nail and nail art accessories

We will focus on the aesthetic area.
However, it is a key point to know the fundamental characteristics that make up the nail, for technical purposes in our work area.

Later we will deal with nail diseases, as it well deserves a separate article.

Before any abnormality that is seen in the natural nails, our clients should be recommended to attend a medical consultation.


Structure of the Nail and its Parts
As you can see each part of the nail is very well defined in the image.
Now we are going to see the functions that each one of them fulfill.

Lateral nail fold: The nail is made up of a curved fold known as a lateral fold.
Its function is to protect the nails from any external damage, it can be noticed sliding after the cuticle area.
Also known as lateral nail grooves.

Lunula: Better known as a crescent, it is part of the nail matrix, being the most visible.
It is located in the thin area of ​​the nail making it more sensitive to the touch.
For this reason, greater care must be taken when filing, pushing the cuticle or any accident.

Perionychium or periungual edge: It is the continuation of the lateral fold of the nail, reaching the free edge and sealing the sides of the nail. Protecting it from any damage, infection or allergies.

Free edge of the nail: It is the independent part of the nail when a growth is reached, separating from the hyponychium.

Hyponychium: Located just below the edge of the nail, it is made up of epithelial tissue, which protects the nail from bacteria that attack the nail bed.
It is attached directly to the lateral and perionich folds.
Great care must be taken not to injure this area, to avoid future infections or allergies.

Nail bed / nail bed: It is located under the nail plate, formed by an adherent tissue called epithelium, acting as a support platform for the nail plate.

Nail plate / nail plate: Attached to the nail bed.
Its main function is to protect us against external damage, formed by epidermal tissue, made up of dermis and epidermis.
Spanning from the womb to the tips of the fingers, at the time of growth, what we know as the free edge is formed.

Cuticle: The cuticle is responsible for protecting the growth of the nail bed against all types of infections, forming a protective barrier, being the extension of skin that covers the fingers.
Being a part of the nail that protects against infection and external damage, cutting it is not recommended.

Eponychium: Very attached to the nail plate and cuticle, moving with the plate as it grows, forming a small layer of dead tissue around the cuticle.
It is the main protector of the nail root and nail matrix.

Proximal crease: Located just above the cuticle, following the lateral creases.
It works by sealing and protecting the structure of the nail bed, matrix, and each side of the nail plate.

Nail root and nail matrix: All birth of the nail begins from the matrix and the root.
It is hidden under the eponychium which makes it not visible.
Attached to the tip of the phalanx bone by fibrous tissue.

Any blow or wound close to this area can result in a malformation of the nail.
The matrix determines the width and thickness of the nail.

Phalanx: It is a bone located at the end of the fingers and toes, having a direct connection with the root of the nail and matrix.
It is the solid part of the structure of the nail, forming part of our bone system.
We must take care of possible fractures and strong blows that damage our fingers and as a consequence every part of our nail.

It is necessary to remember that each part of our nails fulfills a very important specific function.
From there we can distinguish the type of care that should be taken, depending on each case.

Knowing the structure of the natural nail is a base that will help you identify some parts of the acrylic nail.
