How to Use Properly:

Before Beginning:

1. Ensure adequate ventilation in work area
2. Set up proper glass dappen dish and acrylic brush
3. Have acrylic powder ready
4. Review all safety precautions
5. Check room conditions (temperature, humidity)

Application Technique:

1. Pour small amount of monomer into glass dappen dish
2. Dip acrylic brush into liquid
3. Wipe brush on rim to remove excess
4. Pick up appropriate amount of acrylic powder
5. Create bead with proper liquid-to-powder ratio
6. Apply bead to nail and shape as desired
7. Work within appropriate working time
8. Allow proper curing before filing and shaping

After Application:

1. Recap container immediately
2. Clean brush thoroughly with fresh monomer
3. Never return used liquid to original container
4. Wipe dappen dish clean
5. Ensure continued ventilation during curing

Professional Application Tips:

Liquid-to-Powder Ratio: Consistent ratio is crucial. The All Seasons formula helps maintain this consistency across different conditions, but proper technique remains essential. Aim for medium-wet consistency that holds shape but flows slightly.

Temperature Adaptation: While the All Seasons formula minimizes environmental effects, be aware of extreme conditions:

• Very cold rooms (below 60°F/15°C): Product may still work slightly slower
• Very hot rooms (above 80°F/27°C): Product may still work slightly faster
• Adjust technique slightly in extreme conditions

Working Time Management: The formula provides reliable working time, but develop consistent rhythm and technique for best results. Don't over-manipulate product.

Brush Maintenance: Clean brushes immediately after use with fresh monomer, then wipe on lint-free towel. Proper care extends brush life and maintains application quality.

Ventilation Requirements:

CRITICAL: Proper ventilation is mandatory for safety, regardless of season or climate.

Minimum Requirements:

• Work in area with good air circulation
• Use ventilated nail tables or downdraft systems when available
• Ensure fresh air exchange in room
• Never work in enclosed spaces without ventilation

Why EMA is the Professional Standard:

EMA (Ethyl Methacrylate) is the recognized professional choice because it:

• Creates stronger, more flexible enhancements
• Adheres properly without bonding to living tissue
• Allows for safe, proper removal
• Provides appropriate working time for quality application
• Is approved for professional nail use in most jurisdictions

MMA (Methyl Methacrylate) should be avoided because it:

• Is prohibited in many jurisdictions
• Can cause serious, permanent nail damage
• Bonds to living tissue inappropriately
• Creates rigid, inflexible enhancements prone to cracking
• Is associated with numerous health complaints and injuries

OPAL uses only professional-grade EMA for safety and performance.
