What is crystal nail powder?
Acrylic nail powder is a substance used to produce acrylic nails. It cannot be used alone, it can only be mixed with another liquid chemical that makes it hard. The price of this product is not expensive and you can make it yourself in nail salon or at home. Crystal nail powder can make nails look better and provide temporary protection. Although it is generally considered safe, the way that acrylic nails must be removed means that there are certain risks in using this product.

1. Ingredients
The main component of acrylic nail powder is polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is a mixture of two monomers, methyl acrylate (EMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). It usually also contains benzophenone (benzophenone-1), which can keep the nail powder from discoloring when exposed to ultraviolet light. In addition, it also contains benzoyl peroxide (Benzoyl peroxide). In order to meet the fashion needs of consumers, manufacturers also produce versions with added pigments, usually at a concentration of 2%, which allows people to have a wider range of color choices. In addition, some crystal nail powder also adds glitter ingredients.

2. Principle
When used on nails, acrylic nail powder is mixed with a monomer liquid. In addition to avoiding the rapid combination of molecules, it also prevents yellowing and allows the color to spread evenly. In this process, the benzoyl peroxide in the powder acts as a catalyst, allowing the liquid monomer to form a stronger network chain between the powder particles, which can result in a hard resin.
