Acrylic Nail Liquids

Create perfectly shaped nails with acrylic nail liquid

Whether you want to create a dramatic coffin shape, an elegant almond or a sleek stiletto tip, acrylic nail liquids allow you to build a thin and flexible profile that enhances the natural nail bed and lets your designs shine. Acrylic nails create a strong and durable finish that can be filed and painted just like real nails, making them an excellent choice for versatility. Because acrylic liquid allows for infills, you can take your time creating the perfect shape and then maintain your hard work for longer before a full removal and reapplication is needed.

FAQs

What are acrylic liquids, and how do they work?

Fluid or liquid acrylic nails are created by combining a liquid component, known as acrylic monomer, with polymer powder to sculpt nails straight onto the natural nail bed and tip extension. Working in segments, you can slowly build up the perfect nail shape and desired length, which can be buffed and filed down to perfection. Finish with a top coat, and you’re ready to go!

What is the difference between standard acrylic nail liquid and rapid-set formulas?

Standard acrylic liquids set at a moderate pace, giving you more time to control bead placement, refine the shape and work cleanly. They're ideal for beginner and detailed designs. Rapid-set formulas cure faster, which is great for experienced nail techs working at speed or in busy salons, but they leave less room for adjustments once applied.

How do I choose the right acrylic nail liquid for my needs?

When choosing the right monomer for nails, consider your skill level, working speed and environment. If you’re still refining your technique, a standard or slow-setting acrylic nail liquid gives you more control and time to perfect your shape. For fast-paced salon work, a quicker-setting monomer can help speed up services. If odour is a concern, low odour or odourless acrylic liquids are ideal for a more comfortable working space, especially in smaller or shared environments.

Can I use acrylic liquid for both full acrylic sets and infills?

Yes, the same acrylic liquid can be used for both full acrylic sets and infills. Monomer liquids work for full sets, overlays and infills. For infills, it allows you to rebalance the structure, rebuild the apex and refresh the set without removing everything. It’s a time-saver in the salon and helps extend the life of the nails while keeping them strong and seamless. Whether it's a full set or an infill, proper nail preparation and the correct liquid-to-powder mix ratio are crucial for success. 

Are there different strengths or drying times for acrylic nail liquids?

Monomers for nails don’t come in different “strengths”, but they do vary in how quickly they set. Some formulas stay workable for longer, giving you more time to sculpt, adjust and perfect the shape. Others set faster, which can help speed up services once you’re confident with your technique. The best option depends on how quickly you like to work and how much control you want during application.

Is proper ventilation necessary when working with acrylic nail liquid?

Yes, proper ventilation is important. Even when working with low odour or odourless acrylic nail liquids, good airflow helps keep your workspace comfortable during long appointments or in smaller rooms. Simple steps like opening windows, using a desk fan or working near an extraction system can make a noticeable difference. Good ventilation not only improves comfort but also creates a more pleasant experience for both you and your clients.

How do I store acrylic nail liquid to maintain quality?

Store liquid for nails in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Always keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use, as exposure to air can affect performance over time. Avoid storing bottles near lamps or warm equipment to maintain consistent results.

Can acrylic nail liquid cause irritation or allergic reactions?

Some people may experience sensitivity if acrylic liquid comes into contact with the skin or is used improperly. Using high-quality, professional formulas and avoiding skin contact during application helps minimise risk. If irritation occurs, stop use and allow the skin to recover before continuing.

How long does a manicure last when using high-quality acrylic nail liquid?

When applied correctly, acrylic nails typically last around two to three weeks before an infill is needed. Using a high-quality acrylic nail liquid helps improve adhesion, reduce lifting and maintain strength, keeping nails looking fresh for longer.

How do I safely remove acrylic nails applied with acrylic nail liquid?

Just follow these simple steps:

1. File down the bulk of the acrylic to remove thickness and break the seal.
2. Soak the remaining product in acetone until it softens.
3. Gently push off the softened acrylic using a cuticle pusher.
4. Never peel or force the acrylic, as this can cause serious damage to the natural nail.
5. Buff lightly and rehydrate the nails and cuticles once removal is complete.
