These materials comprise the majority of a nail gel formulation. They contribute to product wetting, viscosity and can affect “removability”. Urethane-based materials and esters are commonly used.
Examples: Urethane Dimethacrylate (UDMA) Extended Urethane Dimethacrylates
Base Resins:

The “key factors” for the optimal photoinitiator (P.I.) package includes, type of P.I. or blend, amount of P.I., curing source and product application.
Examples: Phosphine oxides (depth of cure) Benzophenone derivatives (surface cure) Alpha-hydroxy ketones (surface cure)
Photoinitiators:
UV nail gel systems must FDA-approved pigments. In the nail gel industry, the more colors the better.

Optimal bonding to the nail is hard to obtain. Enhancements must endure day-to-day impact but not adhere so strongly that, in the event of severe impact, the natural nail breaks as opposed to the enhancement.
Examples: HEMA Maleate Pyromellitic Glycerol Dimethacrylate (PMGDM)

Primary function to modify viscosity and reduce crosslink density. Examples: Isobornyl Methacrylate Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate
Additives, Diluent Monomers:
Examples: Difunctional Acrylates Trifunctional Acrylates
Additives, Crosslinkers: Primary function to modify viscosity and increase crosslink density.

Example: Low viscosity, extended urethanes
Additives, Flexibilizers: These are generally comprised of high molecular weight, flexible molecules capable of enhancing toughness.
Examples: Ethyl Acetate Butyl Acetate
Additives, Solvents: An optional method for reducing viscosity and product wetting.
