What the product is:

 

This is a finely‑milled coloured acrylic powder formulated for professional or home use in creating durable nail extensions, overlays or decorative enhancements.

  • The powder is mixed with an acrylic liquid (monomer) on a Dappen dish to form a buildable bead which is then applied to the natural nail or extension form. 

  • Because it’s a “colour” acrylic powder, it comes pre‑pigmented rather than being clear—useful for full‑colour enhancements or creative nail art. 

  • The 10 g size indicates a small jar or pot—suitable for technicians, nail art sets or home kits.

 

Benefits:

 

Using a coloured acrylic powder like this offers multiple advantages:

  • Vibrant, lasting colour: Since it’s pigmented acrylic, the colour is embedded in the enhancement rather than just being surface polish. This helps resist chipping or peeling of the colour layer.

  • Strong nail enhancement: Acrylic systems deliver high strength and durability compared to regular polish. They are ideal for extensions or overlays that need structural integrity. 

  • Versatility for art & extensions: The colour powder can be used for full‑nail coverage, ombré effects, encapsulation, 3‑D nail art and layered effects. 

  • Long wear: When properly applied and sealed, acrylic enhancements last longer than many polish systems.

  • Anti‑yellowing / stability: High quality powders include anti‑yellowing components and have excellent adhesion and shapeability. For example: “does not turn yellow nor discolor thanks to the anti‑yellowing ingredients”. Laloo 

 

Ingredients:

 

Typical core ingredients include:

  • Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or other acrylates copolymer: the base polymer beads used for acrylic nail powders. 

  • Benzoyl peroxide: acts as the catalyst initiator in the powder that helps the monomer‑powder reaction to cure. 

  • Pigments / colourants: e.g., iron oxides (CI 774xx), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), ultramarines etc, to give the powder its shade. 

  • Anti‑yellowing/UV stabilisers: e.g., benzophenone‑1 or similar light stabilisers to maintain colour and clarity. 

  • Optional additives: fine silica, flow agents, UV inhibitors, dust‑reducing or enhanced milling agents for smoother finish.

  • Important caution: the powder alone is inert, but when mixed with monomer it cures via chemical reaction. Safety depends on correct materials and mixing. 

 

How to use it:

 

Here’s a step‑by‑step use guide for applying the colour acrylic powder for nails:

  • Prepare the natural nail

    • Remove any old product/polish, push back cuticles, lightly buff or roughen nail plate (e.g., 150/180 grit file) to aid adhesion.

    • Clean nail with lint‑free pad and pure acetone or 3in1 nail liquid.

  • Set up your acrylic mixture

    • Pour a suitable amount of acrylic liquid (monomer) into a Dappen dish.

    • With an acrylic brush, dip into monomer, then dab into the colour acrylic powder to form a “bead”.

    • The bead should have correct ratio of liquid to powder: smooth, workable, not too runny, not too dry.

  • Apply the colour acrylic bead

    • Place bead at the free edge or stress zone of the nail, then press and stroke towards the cuticle and sides to build extension or overlay. Maintain apex for strength. 

    • Continue application until desired thickness, shape and coverage is achieved.

  • Cure / set

    • Allow the acrylic to polymerise (cure) fully—time depends on liquid speed, room conditions etc (often ~10 minutes for some systems) before filing. Laloo 

  • Shape, buff & finish

    • File/shape the nail as desired (150/180 grit or finer).

    • Buff to smooth surface.

    • Clean off dust.

    • Apply a top coat or gel polish/sealant (non‑wipe top coat if desired) to protect and give shine. 

  • Aftercare

    • Advise client or user to avoid using nails as tools, wear gloves for chores, apply cuticle oil regularly to maintain nail health and avoid dehydration.
