How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the amount of liquid monomer (mL) you have on hand.
  2. Enter the amount of acrylic powder polymer (g) available.
  3. Select your bead size preference: 1 = small/dry, 2 = medium, 3 = large/wet.
  4. Set nails per set (typically 10) and your average sets per day.
  5. Review your actual liquid:powder ratio vs. the ideal ratio for your bead size and your ratio quality score.
  6. Use the monthly liquid (mL) and powder (g) usage estimates to plan supply orders.

What each input means

Liquid monomer (mL)
Amount of liquid monomer available in milliliters.
Powder polymer (g)
Amount of acrylic powder available in grams.
Bead size preference
1 = small/dry bead, 2 = medium (recommended), 3 = large/wet bead.
Nails per set
Number of nails per client set (typically 10 for a full set).
Sets per day
Average number of full acrylic sets you do per day.

What each result means

Your liquid:powder ratio
Your current liquid-to-powder ratio by volume.
Ideal ratio for bead size
Recommended ratio for your chosen bead size preference.
Ratio quality score
How close your mix is to ideal (100 = perfect).
Liquid per set (mL)
Estimated monomer used per full nail set.
Powder per set (g)
Estimated powder used per full nail set.
Sets from current stock
How many complete sets your current supply can produce.
Monthly liquid usage (mL)
Estimated monomer usage per month (22 working days).
Monthly powder usage (g)
Estimated powder usage per month (22 working days).

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Liquid monomer (mL) = 15, Powder polymer (g) = 10, Bead size preference = 2, Nails per set = 10 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Your liquid:powder ratio
    1.88 = 1.88
  3. Calculate Ideal ratio for bead size
    Ideal ratio for bead size = 0.9 + beadSize * 0.35
    1.6 = 1.6
  4. Calculate Ratio quality score
    Ratio quality score
    83 = 83
