Fusion UV-LED Monomer (Low-odor)

This Monomer is odor free friendly . There is a slight smell like all chemicals but nothing overbearing . This monomer needs UV light cure. That is why it’s “squishy” after application. It hardens by UV light . All the negative comments because you all are clearly new to acrylic needs to stop on this product. This is the only product that doesn’t smell insane and does a phenomenal job. I would hate for it to go out of market.

A lot of people complained about the smell. There's no way a chemical can be fully odorless. It works great and has a very very slight smell. I do my nails at home and it's really hard because monomer smell usually take days to leave the house. My boyfriend would actually get mad that the house smelled like a nail salon. I don't have the issue with this odorless one. Also being a fairly new beginner, I really enjoy that it's slow setting. It does take a while for it to dry. But it's great for a beginner because it allows for a slower set time. Would recommend for at home beginners. If you are OK with a slow set time This product is perfect for you.

They sell the product as if it doesn't have a strong odor, but it's quite the opposite. Its scent is quite strong and can linger in the room where it's used for several hours. Caution for allergy sufferers like me.

First off: YOU NEED A UV/LED LAMP! If you do not have one, get one. Second you need at least a 36 watt lamp to complete curing. If you leave it to try and dry without a lamp, you will be waiting for a long time…about an hour. Important info: this is a UV/LED ODORLESS monomer. What this means is the there is no alcohol or drying ingredient used in this product. It is oil based. That also means you have a lot of time to play with it ( if you do acrylic nails, then you know what I mean). You also really have to watch your liquid to powder ratio. For normal monomers this ratio is normally 1:1, but for this monomer the ratio is 1:2. USE LESS MONOMER! You will know the ratio is correct when your bead looks dry, but when placed it moistens and starts to settle on it’s own. This is exactly what you want because it is starting its work without much effort on your part. Keep your beads dry. Too wet of a bead will make the acrylic run and the end result is weak nail sets. And they will break. Pat the acrylic into place, IF your placed bead is sticking to the brush, dry your brush and pat again. Practice will make all the difference in how much you enjoy using this monomer. There is a heat spike, it can’t be helped due to the UV/LED monomer. If you have a light tolerance to minor pain, do not use this product. But, if like me you know beauty is pain 😂, you can bear about 10 to 25 seconds of heat. If you are still hesitant, try flash curing in 10 second intervals for a total of 30 seconds until the heat dissipates. Then follow with a normal 1 minute cure. Full disclosure: I am a licensed cosmetologist meaning I am licensed already as a nail technician. I know my liquid to powder ratio to a T. I STRUGGLED with regular monomers for a while until I got it right. Even with the light as an added step I can do both of my own hands in 45 minutes. It took me 4 hours before ( I’m a perfectionist, it can be to my own detriment sometimes) and I was super slow. And this is on MYSELF! 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ So you see the time difference 😂 I also noticed that I had less filing to do after. Application was so smooth, that my nails looked like I could go straight to painting. Of course I filed, but I knocked about 15 minutes off of my time. If you use an E- File it would be even faster. I like to hand file. This product got 4 stars because a beginner really does need to learn with regular monomer. Getting the liquid to powder ratio right with consistency will help a beginner understand how much less of THIS monomer to use. Because of this fact. I think beginners should not attempt to use this until they get the basics down. Last: it works with ALL acrylic powders! My go to is Mia Secrets Clear acrylic powder. They work beautifully together. I did a colored acrylic set on my daughter in black and it cured perfectly. If you are experienced with doing acrylic on YOUR NAILS, and you want to cut out the dry time, buy this monomer. I bought this last year and I still have 3/4 of a bottle left! But when this one gets lower I will be getting more. 👍🏽👏🏽🥰

To the person who made a huge rant about this not being odorless ... I cant. Any who, I practice in a small space so with REGULAR monomer if I crack the bottle open the WHOLE HOUSE will stink up and give me a huge headache. I usually have to practice outside of my home and it has been raining and chilly lately so i purchased this one. I am soo glad I did, it is of course not "completely odorless" there is a weird smell to it but COMPLETELY better then regular monomer, my husband was in the room with me and didn't complain once and he usually complains when I even use nail polish remover. The monomer lost a star due to the acrylic NOT drying as previous posters stated so I had my UV/LED lamp ready to go so that I could put it under the light after 60 seconds I was good to go but I felt that was inconvenient. Overall very happy with purchase :)

love this product because now odour and now strong smell you can work inside you're house and it's safe no lingering strong smells and it's great for people like me just practising

No, it's not completely odorless, but it's pretty darn close. If you've ever used real monomer, you'll understand. -Those that say "oh it has to be cured under UV light" ... yeeaaa, that's why the label AND description say "UV LED MONOMER" Could you imagine a "UV LED GEL" and people complaining, "OMG IT HAS TO BE CURED UNDER A UV/LED LIGHT? Worst product ever" lol, common people. Works great, another person suggested to put some acetone in your dish to help it settle faster, I'm going to give that a try! I prefer acrylic over gel, so this product makes it possible for me to do my own nails at home without stinking up the whole apartment building. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

Bought this since the regular was so smelly. I found that it was much better smell wise but when working with the product it was much slower to dry. In some ways that works well especially if your new at doing artificial nails.

You need to set in a UV or LED , not practical enough for me , not fast setting

While it isn't completely odourless, it's damn close! Lovely to work with. I love it!
