Forming an acrylic bead involves using:

Forming an acrylic bead involves using:

• A. Acrylic liquid and powder
• B. Monomer and polymer
• C. Water and cement
• D. Gel and activator

Answer: (B)

Forming an acrylic bead hinges on using a liquid that is the monomer and a powder that is the polymer. The monomer liquid blends with the polymer powder, allowing the mixture to form a malleable bead. As the monomer and polymer interact, polymer chains build and the bead hardens into a solid layer that can be sculpted on the nail. This combination—monomer plus polymer—is what creates the acrylic system. The other options describe substances used in different contexts and don’t produce the acrylic bead in this system.
