What’s the different between EZ Flow’s High-Definition Color Polymers and Monomer versus the Q Monomer?

Answer

The A Polymer and Competition lines are traditional acrylic, meaning they require primer for proper adhesion. The A Polymer when used with Q Monomer gives the tech more work time. All but one of the design or colored powders are made with A Polymer so creating fades and designs are easier.

The High-Definition (HD) system is a primer optional system. The monomer and polymer adhere to the nail plate with or without primer. With most traditional systems the liquid-to-powder ratio is 2:1; the ratio for the HD system is 1:1. When using HD powder with HD monomer, you get a longer working time than the A Polymer line.

Professionals that have mastered their technique can use our Q Monomer with the HD powders. This gets you the benefits of the HD powders but a working time between a medium and fast set. Keep in mind when using HD powders with Q Monomer a primer should be used. — MaeLing Parrish is an EZ Flow educator and co-owner of Nail Sensation in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

How can I prevent lifting when my client's hands are constantly in water?

I have a client who is in the medical field so her hands are constantly in water. She has me keep the length of her acrylic nails short. No matter what I do, she always has at least one nail that comes off, and she always has lifting and gets water under the acrylic. I prep the nails correctly, I have a cuticle bit to clean the cuticle area, and I wipe the nail with alcohol, dehydrate the nail, and prime the nail. What should I do?
