Does nail chemistry and science completely confuse you?

You’re not alone… and honestly, it’s one of the biggest things that holds nail techs back from really understanding what they’re doing.

In this episode of The Nail Tech Society, award-winning nail educator Melanie Lewendon breaks down monomers, oligomers, and polymers in a way that actually makes sense. No complicated jargon, no overthinking… just simple, clear explanations you can apply to your work straight away.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• What these terms actually mean

• Why curing matters so much for strength and retention

…this episode is for you.

Think of this as your foundation. Because once you understand the chemistry behind nail products, everything else starts to click… from application to retention, curing, and even preventing issues like lifting and breakdown.

And don’t worry… you’re not getting a science lecture.

Just a Derbyshire lass breaking it down simply for you.

I’ve also included a downloadable visual guide in the show notes to help you understand this even further. You can get this here.
