Couldn't load pickup availability
LAVIS Purple UV Liquid Monomer 8oz — 8oz starter size EMA monomer with built-in UV inhibitor — the right bottle for home-studio acrylic work or a salon's secondary station. DTK private label.
Spec: Pure EMA chemistry with UV inhibitor, 8oz starter size. MMA-free and salon-compliant. Self-leveling, non-yellowing.
Who It's For
- Salon owners: Secondary-station size — affordable backup for an existing acrylic operation without committing to gallon volume.
- Home-studio pros: Right starter size for a home studio building out acrylic capability — ~80 services per bottle.
- DIY home users learning acrylic: 8oz is the right size to start. If you scale up to 32oz/Gallon later, you're already familiar with LAVIS's consistency and set time.
Highlights
- 100% EMA (Ethyl Methacrylate) — MMA-free and salon-compliant; MMA monomer is banned for salon use because it bonds too aggressively to the natural nail
- Self-leveling consistency for smooth sculpting and minimal filing; UV inhibitor prevents yellowing over time
- 8oz starter — ideal for home-studio kits or salon secondary stations (~80 full services)
- DTK private label — retail pricing direct, not brand-name markup. Same EMA chemistry as the bigger 16oz/32oz/Gallon sizes.
How to Use
- Pour a small amount into a clean dappen dish — keep main bottle sealed to prevent evaporation
- Dip acrylic brush into monomer, then into powder to form a bead at ~1.5:1 liquid-to-powder ratio
- Place bead on prepped nail and shape within 30–60 seconds — bead self-levels for smooth surface
- Allow bead to air-cure fully before filing and shaping
