Frequently asked questions
What is on the V Beauty Pure acrylic powder page?
43 numbered jars, 00 to 42: 00 Crystal Clear, the whites 19 Luxe White and 28 Super White, the nude and pink covers such as 09 Classic Nude, 21 Perfect Nude, and 23 Prettiest Pink, and the named shades from 02 Bare Me to 42 Willow Whisper, including Bubblegum, Camel, Violet, Lemon Squeeze, and Honeydew. Every jar comes in 1.5 oz and ten of the working shades also in 3.5 oz.
Is the 3.5 oz jar better value than the 1.5 oz?
Per ounce, yes, by about three-tenths, checked against the listing prices at ND on the day of writing. It is offered on the clear, the two whites, and seven covers and working shades, the jars a French and cover station goes through daily; the colors and sheers are 1.5 oz only, the right size for a shade used a few sets a week.
Which liquids go with V Beauty Pure acrylic?
The brand's own: the V Beauty Pure Nail Liquid Acrylic System in 8 oz or 32 oz, the Nail Prep Dehydrator, and the Super Bond Primer, all on the V Beauty Pure monomer and nail preps page. A Kolinsky acrylic brush picks up the bead, and a gel top from the V Beauty Pure base and top page, glossy or matte, finishes the set.
Is V Beauty Pure the same brand as Valentino Beauty Pure?
Many techs still search the earlier Valentino Beauty Pure name, and those searches land on ND's V Beauty Pure pages; the jars on this page are labeled V Beauty Pure Acrylic System. The system is the powder here plus the brand's Nail Liquid, dehydrator, and primer.
Which jars does a pink and white station buy first?
Four: 00 Crystal Clear for the first bead and the cap, a white for the tip, and a cover nude or pink for the bed, with a second cover for a different skin tone, all in 3.5 oz. The colors are added one jar at a time by name and reordered by number as they empty.
V Beauty Pure acrylic powder: 43 numbered jars, from Crystal Clear and the covers to the colors
This page holds every V Beauty Pure acrylic powder at ND Nails Supply: 43 jars numbered 00 to 42, the clear, the whites, the nude and pink cover powders, and a run of colors, in the 1.5 oz jar, with ten of the working shades also sold in a 3.5 oz jar. V Beauty Pure is the acrylic brand that has come up through the Vietnamese salon community, and many techs still search for it under its earlier Valentino Beauty Pure name; its acrylic system is the powder on this page and the EMA monomer, dehydrator, and primer on the liquids page. The numbering starts at 00 Crystal Clear and 01 Bad N Boujee, runs through the covers, 09 Classic Nude, 15 Glamorous Nude, 18 Lustrous Pink, 21 Perfect Nude, 23 Prettiest Pink, 27 Soft Touch, the whites 19 Luxe White and 28 Super White, and on through the named shades to 42 Willow Whisper, with 32 Violet, 37 Clementine Crush, 39 Honeydew, and 40 Lemon Squeeze among them. Every 1.5 oz jar is one price and every 3.5 oz jar one price, so the chart is built on the client book. Everything is wholesale-priced for everyone, no license and no minimum.

Three of the 43 jars are out of stock at the time of writing, and 25 carry ND's best-seller tag. The ten jars sold in 3.5 oz are the clear, the two whites, and seven covers and working shades, the powders a sculpting station goes through fastest; the rest of the numbers are 1.5 oz only, and their names, Bubblegum, Camel, Violet, Lemon Squeeze, Honeydew, say what they are, since the bodies carry no color description and the swatch on each listing is the reference.
Which size, checked on the day of writing
The 3.5 oz jar is the lower price per ounce, by roughly three-tenths against the 1.5 oz jar (checked against the listing prices at ND on the day of writing), and it is offered on the ten powders a French and cover station uses every day. A station that sculpts pink and white or cover sets daily buys 00 Crystal Clear, its cover nude or pink, and its white in 3.5 oz and decants into a working jar; the colors, sheers, and the Victoria's collection are 1.5 oz jars used a few sets a week, where fresh powder matters more than per-ounce cost.
| Size | Per ounce against the 1.5 oz jar | Buy it when |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 oz jar | The reference | Colors, sheers, and any cover used a few times a week |
| 3.5 oz jar | About three-tenths below | Clear, white, and the cover nude or pink at a daily sculpting station |
How the jars are used
- 00 Crystal Clear. The encapsulation jar, the cap over color and glitter, and the glass overlay on a natural nail.
- The covers. 09 Classic Nude, 15 Glamorous Nude, 21 Perfect Nude, 23 Prettiest Pink, 18 Lustrous Pink, and 27 Soft Touch are the full-cover nudes and pinks: one bead over the whole nail for the natural-looking sculpted set, or the bed of a French with a white tip. Several covers rather than one let the tech match the client's skin tone.
- The whites. 19 Luxe White and 28 Super White for the French tip, two whites so the tech picks the softer or the brighter from the swatch.
- The colors and sheers. The remaining numbers, 02 Bare Me through 42 Willow Whisper, are read by name and swatch: the creams and sheers make the milky sets that sit between a cover and a color, and the colors make full-color sculpted sets, the color tip of a French, and the accent nail. A color acrylic is the structure, so no gel goes over it, only a clear cap and a top.
How to sculpt with V Beauty Pure acrylic
- Prep. Push back, remove shine, dust, the V Beauty Pure Nail Prep Dehydrator, then the Super Bond Primer.
- Form or tip. Fit a form under the free edge or bond a tip, and blend.
- Bead. Dip a Kolinsky acrylic brush in the V Beauty Pure Nail Liquid, wipe the excess on the dish edge, and pick up a medium bead from the jar; a bead too wet runs to the cuticle, too dry and it sets before it is placed.
- Place and press. Lay the bead at the apex, press it toward the free edge and the sidewalls, and pat rather than brush so a cover or color stays even. A second bead at the cuticle zone, kept a hairline off the skin.
- Cap and finish. A thin bead of 00 Crystal Clear over a color or a French, shape when the set clicks when tapped, buff, and finish with a gel top cured, the V Beauty Pure Non Wipe Gel Top or Matte Top on the base and top page.
The French and cover station
A pink and white station lives on four jars from this page: 00 Crystal Clear for the first bead and the cap, a white for the tip, and a cover pink or nude for the bed, with the second cover as the option for a different skin tone. The French is built tip first, the white pressed to the smile line, then the cover bed over the whole nail, then a clear cap, filed and topped; a natural cover set is one bead of cover over the whole nail with no white. These are the jars sold in 3.5 oz and the ones held two deep, while the colors are held one at a time and reordered by number.
Why an acrylic set lifts or looks cloudy, and the fix
- Lifting at the cuticle: product on the skin or a wet bead that ran. Keep a hairline margin and pick up a drier bead for the cuticle zone.
- A cloudy or chalky finish: the bead was too dry, or the room too cold. Carry a little more monomer and work warmer.
- Bubbles in the color: the bead was over-worked. Place, press, and pat; do not stroke a bead like paint.
- The bead sets before it is placed: the brush is too dry or the room too warm. Wipe less monomer off and keep the dish away from the lamp.
- The white tip reads gray: the bead was thin. A fuller white bead, pressed to a clean smile line.
Stocking and storage
Store the jars closed and dry, in number order, with the clear, whites, and covers at working height and the colors above. Acrylic powder keeps indefinitely closed; it clumps only when a wet brush goes into the stock jar, so work from a small dish poured from the jar and never dip the brush into the jar itself. Wipe the jar threads before capping so the lid seals, and keep the monomer dish capped beside the jars, never over them. Reorder the 3.5 oz covers by number as they empty and the colors one jar at a time.
