How sweet to see someone that hasn't used acrylic before to what they say about. Hope you show her working with the finger to see what and how see dose and says about. Thank you for sharing and God bless. 💖💖💖🤗
I'm honestly going for the slow setting monomer because of it's low odor. The faster setting monomer makes my heart race and then I can't sleep. fyi I do my nails at night after I have done everything w the kids/house. I also don't like how long the strong odor lingers in the house.
Hey Suzy, I’m a long time fan and watched your videos religiously when I started doing nails. I have tons of Gel polish and want to get into stamping without having to buy stamping polish. Can you do a video on how to use a stamping plate with gel polish?
I love Katie! I wish I had slow set, whenever I do my nails they all look like Frankenstein nails! Lmao cause every bead sets I keep adding and adding and adding, then I have to file them all down, luckily I’m pretty good with the file lol it’s the only thing that saves me
And that’s ok. It’s happening because the product is clearing up on you before you get a chance to put it where you want. Slow Cure would change that for you.
@@NailCareerEducation I’d just love to order from you suze! It’s the postage and exchange rate to Australian dollars that stops me, it’s a killer, you should get a stockist in Australia that would be fantastic 👍
I just refreshed my feed at the perfect time I guess 😂 I don’t think I’ve ever been so quick to a video 😅💕 I do polygel on myself but I was considering trying a better acrylic than the one I used years ago
Katie got on my favorite color green 🌟💯‼️🎉📽️🥰🍷🙋🏻♀️. Thank you for making it fun always Susie I hope that you will start doing some early Thanksgiving and December designs other than the standard Mrs Claus and Santa Claus and peppermint candies I would love to see something different with using polish and acrylic paints. I still got to get used to just the gel polish🤦🏻♀️. Personally I really enjoy fast setting acrylic from Young's nails. Some of my favorite Mia secrets I like that brand as well 👌🏼🔥👻🎉🎃🧛🏻♀️📺📽️💯‼️ really not into it I know how to do it as a licensed Manicurist. 🥰💯‼️😇
Not enough to notice - it is noticed however if it’s reversed. If my product is cold and clients hands are cold acrylic may cute incorrectly causing it to be brittle and it will crumble as you file it
I forget how much better I liked slower setting when I started 30 yrs ago. Lol I just got a new liquid and didn't realize it was slow. Drives me up the wall lol. I have to let my bead sit before I place on the nail.
This is awesome ive been wanting to see the diffrence between the two! ive primarily worked with gel and hybrid gel but want to branch into acryllic because i think it will be easier than gel is for me!
Did you try it? Curious to know if acrylic is less sticky than polymer clay, I love how firm my polygel is, that’s why I chose it but don’t like having to keep wiping and rewetting the brush ❤
My liquid monomer dries so fast!!! Sometimes it even hardens while still on the brush 🤦🏻♀️… and I bought so much! Like 5 liters!! Do you have any idea what I can add to it to make it dry a little slower? I just can’t throw all 5 liters away 😢
@@inspiration10ongles I wasn't sure since even YoungNails (recently again) indicated that wetter beads are most efficient for adhesion when they are first put down, especially good for fills for fluid consistency, so I wasn't sure if the curing time also would influence adhesion. I'm a hard gel girl now, but still use acrylic for flowers and adhering things or for serious repairs/reinforcements on my own nails. Thank you for answering my question though! I appreciate it. 💕
how come the beginners kit doesn’t come with the glass bottle on the actual pictures i don’t see the glass bottle question as well would this monomer be compatible with Kiara sky’s monomer enchantment system
I have always love nail art. Watching ur videos gave me the confidence to start doing acrylics. Went and bought all the supplies and guess what now I learned about how harmful monomer is to ur body, im sad because i have to stop and throw everything out
I recently purchased your oderless monomer and #8 acrylic brush and I love them so much! I do struggle with picking up a bigger size bead though and my beads don’t look smooth they do sometimes have dry product around the base of the bead.
I just bought some acrylic supplies from the NCE store. I bought the fast cure monomer because i like to dive off the deep end even though I have no previous experience. But I have been using a gel system that I really love, but I am afraid of the cumulative UV effects so I am thinking of switching to acrylics. Anyway, is it okay to backfill my nails with acrylic, or do I need to soak all the gel off first?
Yes, no problem applying Acrylic over top of Gel- I do it all the time. I do suggest you practice beads and building nails in fake fingers first - even if you have experience with nails. Acrylic cures before you shape it. And do you know UV Lamps do not cause cancer or any I’ll effects from using them - FDA has proven that with the many years they’ve done
@@NailCareerEducation Thank you for the info! I'm excited to get started! I will practice with refining my L+P ratio and making beads on a piece of paper towel first, but then I will probably practice right on myself (just one nail for now though) because as I said, I like to dive off the deep end. As for nail lamps, I believe they are not harmful if used normally, but I currently backfill my gel nails every week (I can't stand the outgrowth, I have all the supplies to do it myself at home, and I've become quite proficient at it), which is more often than normal, and I also do nail art multiple times a week with gel, and all that flash curing and full curing is definitely a lot more exposure than normal! I just want to be cautious. Also, acrylics may be more convenient because I don't have to pull out a lamp every time.
Any monomer can yellow. The issue is the ratio. If you use the same ratio with slow curing monomer as you would a regular or fasting monomer then the slow curing monomer will yellow cause the ratio is VERY wrong. If you use the correct ratio it won’t yellow
I bought it, but I noticed it takes a while to dry and when I filed the nail it comes off the nail. I love that product but I don’t know how to make it better
Remember you must work with it very different 1. Way LESS monomer than traditional 2. Wait when you apply bead to nail 3. Sculpt with very dry brush 4. Take yr time upto 2-3 mins 5. 5-10 secs under water to cure OR file off sticky dispersion layer 6. Sculpt as normal
I got my order today and man, it did not go well. I was getting the hang of moisture to powder ratio with Mia Secret powder + Kiara sky monomer but I really wanted to try this as soon as it arrived. I got the mini set and 2 brushes; my bead wouldn't stick to the brush half the time and the ones I did get picked up were so small, I was getting frustrated and feeling wasteful so I had to give up for now. My brush doesn't have a nice point anymore either, the tip stayed feathery/separated. 😮💨😕 **
It really depends on what brush you have! If you have the student brush it absorbs much less monomer- email me at hello@nailcareer.com give me your order number and I can see what brushes you ordered
Is there big differences between acrylics? I found out that I have severe allergies to gel and moderate to acrylic. My husband says it might be just to the brand could that be true? (I think my husband said that to make me feel better but that would be wonderful.) Thank You
It’s important to find out what particular ingredient you may be allergic to, some products may not have an in and some may. If it’s a very popular ingredient, then you’re probably out of luck.
I actually liked fast setting cause the slow set was too wet and too slow for me. I also don't like how Katie does other people's nails when she's not licensed. At least Long Hair Pretty Nails, shes a really good nail artist, but would never do other people's nails because she's not licensed.
That’s great ur doing this 🫶🏾 bcuz as a beginner who started last yr with acrylic, I was really intimidated to try it, also I’m curious to see if Katie is gonna start working with acrylics 😂
Btw thanks again for helping me with my broken nail. You told me to use nail glue & your top coat & it held my broken nail perfectly for weeks🤯. Last night I was FINALLY able to cut my nail, past the broken part, & my nail is now healthy & I’m forever grateful❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 seriously anyone thinking about buying her top coat, go for it, it’s extremely strong & doesn’t crack, chip, weaken, it’s better than any luxury brand & saved me from having to get my nail surgically removed🫶🏼🙏🏼
@@NailCareerEducation Ma'am could u please tell how to find out which one is slow monomer and which one is fast ,without making a bead ? Is there any fastest way to differentiate between the two ?
How sweet to see someone that hasn't used acrylic before to what they say about. Hope you show her working with the finger to see what and how see dose and says about. Thank you for sharing and God bless. 💖💖💖🤗
Oh, I love Katie! It's great to have a student's perspective as they learn. This was a great idea for a video!
Glad to see a new video Suzie hope all is settling at new shop. 🙏
I'm honestly going for the slow setting monomer because of it's low odor. The faster setting monomer makes my heart race and then I can't sleep. fyi I do my nails at night after I have done everything w the kids/house. I also don't like how long the strong odor lingers in the house.
Is it possible to mix equal parts of both monomers to make a medium dry time? Just curious!
Great question, but I don’t think you can do that because they will be caring at very different times and probably competing with each other
Hey Suzy, I’m a long time fan and watched your videos religiously when I started doing nails. I have tons of Gel polish and want to get into stamping without having to buy stamping polish. Can you do a video on how to use a stamping plate with gel polish?
I can’t wait to watch her with the practice fingers! Please post!

How much does body heat reduce the cure time of the slow cure vs fast cure monomer?
Not enough to notice - it is noticed however if it’s reversed. If my product is cold and clients hands are cold acrylic may cute incorrectly causing it to be brittle and it will crumble as you file it

I'd love to learn from you in person!
Question: Does the fast setting versus slow setting have any influence upon adhesion to the natural nail?
There shouldn't be, the adhesion should stay the same. It also depends on how good your prep is :)
@@inspiration10ongles I wasn't sure since even YoungNails (recently again) indicated that wetter beads are most efficient for adhesion when they are first put down, especially good for fills for fluid consistency, so I wasn't sure if the curing time also would influence adhesion. I'm a hard gel girl now, but still use acrylic for flowers and adhering things or for serious repairs/reinforcements on my own nails. Thank you for answering my question though! I appreciate it. 💕
It’s basically the same. Adhesion is more about bead control.
@@NailCareerEducation Gotcha. So many variables! Whew!
Great video.
Hi
how come the beginners kit doesn’t come with the glass bottle on the actual pictures i don’t see the glass bottle question as well would this monomer be compatible with Kiara sky’s monomer enchantment system
Katie, you are gorgeous!!
Yay I'm super early for once ☺️
I just love ur video's!!
I have always love nail art. Watching ur videos gave me the confidence to start doing acrylics. Went and bought all the supplies and guess what now I learned about how harmful monomer is to ur body, im sad because i have to stop and throw everything out
Can you mix to get an in between set time?
I need a vídeo of deep in a the Russian manicure cause I don't practice it but I Been seeing that it's not healthy for nails anymore
#notificationsquad is here 💜💖💜
I recently purchased your oderless monomer and #8 acrylic brush and I love them so much! I do struggle with picking up a bigger size bead though and my beads don’t look smooth they do sometimes have dry product around the base of the bead.
That’s ok - place it
Wait .. then watch it obsorb that powder
Then shape 👍
What will cause the slow curing acrylic to not cure completely? It feels soft and rubbery. 😢I used all products from the same company also.
As a beginner almost 5 minutes is a long time for me for 1 nail. Idk 🤷♀️ I would love to see how long a medium setting one does in comparison.
I can't think of her name but Katie reminds me of the best friend in Legally Blonde...
Love your channel but I wish u would do some nail designs. Miss those.
She looks like Lidia Dietz from Beetlejuice, beautiful!
How do you know if you have slow or fast monomer is there any fast way to tell??
Katie is gorgeous
For the life of me I cant find the 4oz bottle of your slow cure on your website.
Will the monomer bottle tell you I use Mia monomer and it doesn't say slow or fast
