Acrylic Powder 120g

Shills Professional Acrylic Powder 120g is a professional nail enhancement powder designed for creating strong, structured and beautifully sculpted acrylic nail extensions. When combined with a compatible acrylic monomer liquid, the powder forms a workable acrylic bead that allows trained nail technicians to build extensions, overlays, apex structure and customised nail shapes without requiring UV/LED lamp curing.

The generous 120g professional size is ideal for busy nail salons, nail technicians and beauty academies performing regular acrylic enhancement services. Its sculpting versatility makes it suitable for creating everything from natural-looking overlays and short salon nails to longer almond, square, coffin and stiletto extensions.

Unlike gel systems that depend on UV/LED curing, traditional acrylic powder and monomer create a chemically activated enhancement system that sets through the acrylic polymerisation process. This gives technicians time to place, shape and refine the acrylic before completing the enhancement with professional filing and finishing.

Whether used for full-set acrylic extensions, natural nail overlays, maintenance services or creative nail designs, Acrylic Powder 120g provides a versatile foundation for professional acrylic nail applications.

Step 1 – Prepare the Natural Nails

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

Step 2 – Shape the Natural Nail

Refine the free edge according to whether you will be applying nail tips, sculpting with forms or creating an overlay.

Step 3 – Prepare the Nail Surface

Lightly remove surface shine according to professional acrylic preparation procedures. Avoid unnecessarily aggressive filing of the natural nail.

Step 4 – Remove Dust & Oils

Thoroughly remove nail dust and prepare the nail plate using compatible dehydrator and primer products where required by the acrylic system.

Step 5 – Apply Tips or Forms if Required

For extensions, correctly fit compatible artificial nail tips or professional sculpting forms according to your chosen technique.

Step 6 – Prepare the Monomer

Pour an appropriate amount of compatible professional acrylic monomer into a clean dappen dish.

Step 7 – Load the Acrylic Brush

Dip an appropriate acrylic brush into the monomer, then control the amount of liquid according to your professional technique.

Step 8 – Pick Up Acrylic Powder

Gently place the brush into the Acrylic Powder to form a workable bead.

The correct liquid-to-powder ratio should follow the instructions of the compatible acrylic system.

Step 9 – Place & Sculpt the Acrylic

Position the bead onto the required area and use controlled brush movements to shape the enhancement.

Step 10 – Build the Structure

Continue applying controlled beads as necessary to create the desired nail length, apex, sidewalls and free-edge structure.

Step 11 – Allow the Acrylic to Set

Allow the enhancement to harden fully according to the acrylic system instructions.
