Professional Acrylic System Monomer 150ml (Purple)

Shills Professional Professional Acrylic System Monomer 150ml (Purple) is a professional acrylic liquid designed to work with compatible acrylic nail powder to create smooth, workable acrylic beads for sculpting strong, structured and salon-quality nail enhancements. Featuring a distinctive purple-tinted monomer formula and a practical 150ml professional size, it is an essential component of acrylic nail systems used for extensions, overlays, infills and customised nail enhancement services.

When combined with compatible acrylic powder in the correct liquid-to-powder ratio, the monomer activates the acrylic system and creates a mouldable bead that nail technicians can place, shape and sculpt before it sets. This allows professionals to construct the apex, sidewalls, free edge and overall architecture required for balanced acrylic nail enhancements.

Unlike UV/LED gel systems, a traditional acrylic powder and monomer system sets through a chemical polymerisation process rather than depending on a nail lamp for curing. This makes the quality, consistency and working behaviour of the monomer particularly important for professional acrylic application.

The convenient 150ml acrylic monomer format is ideal for professional nail salons, nail technicians and beauty academies that regularly perform acrylic nail services.

Step 1 – Prepare the Natural Nails

Clean and sanitise the hands and nails. Gently push back the cuticles and remove appropriate non-living tissue from the nail plate.

Step 2 – Shape & Prepare

Refine the natural free edge and prepare the nail surface according to your professional acrylic application procedure.

Step 3 – Remove Dust & Surface Oils

Thoroughly remove nail dust and use compatible dehydrator and primer products where required by your acrylic system.

Step 4 – Apply Nail Tips or Forms if Required

For extensions, correctly position compatible artificial nail tips or professional sculpting forms.

Step 5 – Dispense the Monomer

Pour an appropriate amount of Professional Acrylic System Monomer into a clean professional dappen dish.

Avoid working directly from the main bottle during application.

Step 6 – Saturate the Acrylic Brush

Dip a suitable professional acrylic brush into the monomer and allow the bristles to become appropriately saturated.

Step 7 – Control the Liquid

Gently remove excess liquid against the side of the dappen dish according to the bead consistency required.

Step 8 – Pick Up Acrylic Powder

Place the brush into compatible acrylic powder to form a bead.

The correct monomer-to-powder ratio should follow the instructions of the acrylic system and your professional training.

Step 9 – Place the Acrylic Bead

Position the bead on the nail or extension and allow it to settle briefly according to the system's working characteristics.

Step 10 – Sculpt the Enhancement

Use controlled brush movements to guide and smooth the acrylic into the desired structure.

Step 11 – Build the Apex & Shape

Continue applying controlled beads where required to construct the apex, sidewalls, cuticle transition and free edge.

Step 12 – Allow the Acrylic to Set

Allow the enhancement to polymerise and harden completely.

Traditional acrylic powder and monomer do not require UV/LED curing to set.

Step 13 – File & Refine

Once fully hardened, refine the enhancement with appropriate professional hand-filing or e-file techniques.

Step 14 – Complete the Manicure

Finish with compatible gel colour, nail art or appropriate finishing products according to the desired manicure.
