Have you ever worked with acrylic that starts forming tiny white crystals as it sets? Or maybe you’ve had acrylics that feel like you’re filing concrete? How about an acrylic that takes forever to set, only to still feel rubbery once it does? NSI answers these questions and more.

These frustrations are all too common for many nail technicians. But why do they happen?

The answer lies in product compatibility. Acrylic systems are designed to work together as a cohesive unit.

Manufacturers and chemists meticulously test acrylic powders, monomers, and primers to ensure they react with optimal results... When the chemical reaction is either too fast or too slow, it affects the workability of the acrylic for you, the technician, and the result for your client. Durability and performance are key!

So, what can you do to avoid these challenges?

Here are the key tips:

1. Never mix products from different brands

Leading manufacturers and chemists spend years perfecting their formulas, making sure their products perform flawlessly. As a system. NSI goes the extra mile with an in-house team dedicated to research and development.

Our Team conducts rigorous testing, with real-world trials, across multiple samples to make sure NSI products deliver for both you and your clients. The results? Safe, reliable, and high-performing acrylics that meet industry demands.

2. You get what you pay for

Investing in premium products is always worth it. NSI acrylics are designed to offer effortless workability, reducing the need for excessive filing. Unlike other brands that require each bead to be repeatedly “patted” or “beaten” into place, NSI’s spring-back technology allows you to apply a bead with a single, firm pat. The bead will self-level, ensuring it doesn’t run or collapse into the cuticle area, which eliminates troubleshooting issues.

The bottom line? You save time, effort, and product. NSI acrylics reduce the need for buffing and minimize product wastage, helping you save money while achieving flawless results.

3. Education is everything!

Whether you’re self-taught or academytrained, it’s crucial to invest in productspecific education. NSI offers comprehensive support through conversion courses, helping you master the best techniques with our products. Our dedicated educators are here to assist with tips on achieving the perfect mix ratio, troubleshooting, and optimizing your application process for time and cost efficiency.

Plus, our after-sales support is second to none. Whether by phone, email, or in person, we’re committed to helping you achieve outstanding results every time.

So, we ask you: Have you ever worked with acrylic that doesn’t crystallize? Or one that’s soft and easy to file? Have you experienced a flawless application with no heat spikes or bubbles? If not, it’s time to experience the difference with NSI’s Attraction Acrylic.
