Coverland Acrylic Powder 3.5oz "New Nue" - Limited Edition

Step 1: Prepare the Nails

• Gently push back the cuticles using the tools provided in the Tones Dry Manicure Kit.
• Use the Tones Nail Buffer 100/180 to lightly buff the nail surface and remove any shine.
• Wipe the nails with Tones Sanitizing Solution or alcohol to cleanse away oils and dust.

Step 2: Extend or Shape the Nail with Tips or Forms

• For Tones Nail Tips: Select a tip that fits the natural nail. Apply a small amount of Tones Brush-On Nail Glue, press the tip firmly for a few seconds, then trim and shape as desired.
• For Tones Nail Forms: Position the form under the free edge of the natural nail and adjust it to the desired shape.

Step 3: Apply Dehydrator and Primer

• Apply Tones Nail Prep Dehydrator to remove any remaining oils from the nail surface.
• Apply Tones Ultrabond Primer to enhance acrylic adhesion.

Step 4: Prepare the Acrylic

• Dip the Tones Acrylic Brush into Tones Acrylic Monomer.
• Lightly dip the brush into the acrylic powder to form a smooth bead.

Step 5: Apply Acrylic to the Nails

• For Tones Nail Tips: Start by applying the bead near the base of the nail, close to the cuticle. Work the product up and over the nail tip. Use the brush to flatten and smooth the acrylic across the entire nail, shaping it to your desired thickness. Repeat this step to build up the nail's strength and shape if needed.
• For Tones Nail Forms: Start by applying the bead onto the nail form where the free edge of the nail will be. Extend and shape the nail by working with the brush to your desired shape and length. Apply another bead of acrylic closer to the cuticle area and work it upwards blending it into the extended portion of the nail.

Step 6: Let the Acrylic Dry

• Allow the acrylic to dry completely. You’ll know it’s fully set when you tap it and hear a solid sound.
• If using a nail form, gently remove the form by pulling it away from the hardened acrylic.

Step 7: Shape and Refine

• Shape the nails using a Tones Nail File, refining the edges and contour as needed.
• Buff the nail surface to ensure smoothness, and clean away any remaining dust.

Step 8: Finish with a Top Coat

• Seal and enhance the shine by applying Tones Top Coat over the finished acrylic nails.

1. What is Coverland acrylic polymer and how is it different from regular acrylic powder?
Coverland is Tones' professional-grade colored acrylic polymer line — specifically engineered for coverage. Unlike standard clear or pink/white acrylic powders, Coverland shades are formulated to cover the nail bed, hide imperfections, and deliver rich, even color in a single application. Available in 100+ shades with excellent adhesion and a moderate-to-fast polymerization rate optimized for professional nail technicians.

2. What is the best professional acrylic powder for covering nail imperfections?
Coverland acrylic polymers are specifically engineered for coverage. The dense, even pigmentation and superior adhesion formula conceals discoloration, ridges, and imperfections — delivering a clean, professional finish every time.

3. Can Coverland acrylic powder be used as dip powder?
Yes. Coverland is a dual-use formula compatible with both traditional acrylic and dip systems. This flexibility allows nail technicians to adapt to each client's preference while achieving excellent results either way.

4. How do I use colored acrylic powder for a professional nail set?
Dip your acrylic brush into Tones Pro Acrylic EMA Monomer, pick up a bead of Coverland powder, apply to the natural nail or form, and sculpt to shape. Proper nail prep — dehydrator, ultrabond primer — ensures maximum adhesion. File and finish as needed.

5. What monomer works best with Coverland acrylic polymer?
Coverland pairs perfectly with Tones Pro Acrylic EMA Monomer — our MMA-free, HEMA-free professional liquid monomer. Together they form a complete professional acrylic system with optimal adhesion and set time. Coverland is also compatible with other professional EMA monomers.

6. Is Tones Coverland acrylic powder USA-made?
Yes. Tones acrylic powders — including the entire Coverland line — are manufactured in the USA. We've maintained USA-based production for 15+ years as part of our commitment to professional quality and consistency.

7. How long does professional colored acrylic last on clients?
With proper nail prep and application, Coverland sets typically last 3–4 weeks before needing a fill. Longevity depends on the client's lifestyle, nail prep technique, and monomer-to-powder ratio used.

8. Can I use Coverland acrylic polymer for nail extensions?
Absolutely. Coverland performs excellently for both overlays on natural nails and full nail extensions using tips or forms. Its moderate-to-fast set time and excellent adhesion make it ideal for sculpting with precise control.

9. What is the correct monomer-to-powder ratio for Coverland acrylic?
The ideal ratio is approximately 1.5:1 (liquid to powder) for a medium-wet bead. A wetter bead provides more working time; a drier bead sets faster. Practice to find the consistency that suits your technique and environment.

10. How do I store acrylic powder to maintain quality?
Store Coverland in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keep the lid tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and moisture absorption. Properly stored, acrylic powder maintains quality for up to 3 years.

11. How can I prevent bubbles when applying Coverland acrylic powder?
Bubbles occur when air is trapped in the brush or the product is overworked. Use the correct liquid-to-powder ratio and apply in smooth, even strokes. Avoid overworking the mixture to prevent air from being trapped in the acrylic.
