More and more girls prefer to have natural nails, but not every beautiful lady can boast beautiful fingers from nature. We are talking about the imperfections of the native nail plates. There are always cracks, irregularities, gaps. Therefore, the issue of modeling becomes quite relevant. Consider ways to use acrylic powder.

Properties of acrylic powder

Bulk composition has a lot of advantages that are aimed at eliminating many problems with regards to nails:

1. Due to its porous and light structure, the powder does not clog the surface of the nails, allowing them to "breathe".
2. In the process of applying the powder composition eliminates the likelihood of bubbles, which look sloppy.
3. Nails after using the powder become strong, eliminating their breakage and delamination.
4. Powder perfectly copes with external irritants, such as ultraviolet, frost, household appliances.
5. Due to the wide variety of colors, powder can be chosen for every taste, manicure options are endless.
6. Powder weightless, when applied to the plate barely noticeable, so the nails look very natural.
7. All artificial materials for building injure the surface of the native nail, and the powder is aimed at correction of the form without loss.
8. Nails, modeled with the help of powder, can be easily corrected, which is not the case with gel coatings.
9. To remove the layer of acrylic, there are special tools that facilitate the removal of the artificial surface.
10. The service life of a manicure with acrylic powder reaches 3-4 weeks, sometimes longer.

Purpose of acrylic powder

1. Powdered weightless composition belongs to the category of acrylates.Polymeric material is widely used by real masters to improve the natural shape of nails, fill voids, align the surface of the plates.
2. Powder is combined with monomer - a special liquid, with which you can get a high-quality mixture for modeling. At the exit we have a dense paste, which dries out in the air for a short time. Acrylic does not require a special ultraviolet lamp, unlike gel.
3. Experts in the field of the nail industry distinguish three directions of modeling acrylic powder. The number includes the creation of three-dimensional design, the overall correction of the plate, the repair of chips and cracks.
4. It should immediately be clarified that the powder intended to strengthen or build-up is one and the same material. However, to carry out repairs, use a powder without a shade. The design is performed with colored powder.
5. To make a full-fledged build-up, it is required to have a powder of a pink-beige subtone, which in color should match the shade of the nail bed. This is necessary to extend the plate itself.
6. If you are aiming to prepare your nails under gel polish,use colorless or solid pink powder. This procedure will help you create a bonding layer between the natural plate and gel polish. As a result, the duration of manicure wear will increase by an order of magnitude.
7. The use of powder to strengthen the nails under the gel polish has other advantages. Reduced probability after applying a colored coating to get bumps or bubbles. Also, the powder fills microcracks, which could spread under the action of gel polish even more.

Who shows the use of acrylic powder

Do not assume that the powder refers to expensive materials. You can buy the product relatively cheaply in specialized stores for nail masters.

Experienced experts recommend to use the powder composition of girls who suffer from severe delamination, brittleness and cracks.

After applying the powder to the plate, all the microcracks are filled, the paste hardens and becomes similar to cement. All this eliminates breakage and severe injury to the nails.

Also strengthening the powder will help the girls create a quality coating under the gel polish, especiallyif the nail plate emaciated and thin by nature (bend strongly). For this category of persons, experts do not recommend using gel extensions.
