Nail polish formulations typically include materials such as nitrocellulose, shellac, dammar, methacrylic acid, and ethyl methacrylate
. These materials, when combined, create a durable and visually appealing nail polish. Some nail polishes also contain acrylic powder, which is a popular ingredient in nail art
. The powder is created by bonding ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) in a process that involves a catalyst and an activator
. Manufacturers can create different-sized droplets of acrylic powder by changing the spinning speed and adding other ingredients to the formula
