The two products (known as a monomer and a polymer, respectively) combine to form a soft ball that can be fashioned into a nail shape.

Once applied, the material hardens and becomes much stronger. It can then be buffed and filed to the customer’s preference.

At Prime Nails, we only use the best products from reputable brands, such as Acrylic Nail Liquid MMA Free Formula, to make sure you get the best results from your nail service.

ACRYLIC NAIL CARE

Acrylic nails can last up to more than a week. With the right care and maintenance, acrylics can look their absolute best until the next top up also known as ‘refill’ where the existing colours are taken off and acrylic is applied to the gap of where the nail has grown from the cuticle.

The key to taking care of your hands and nails is to keep your skin from drying out.
