In acrylic technique, what is formed when the sable brush is dipped into the liquid and then the powder?

An acrylic film
An acrylic ball
An acrylic tip
An acrylic overlay

The correct answer is: An acrylic ball

When the sable brush is dipped into the liquid and then the powder during the acrylic technique, it forms an acrylic ball. This process involves picking up a bead of acrylic mixture that consists of the liquid monomer and the acrylic polymer powder. The combination produces a workable bead that can be shaped and manipulated to create the desired nail structure. The term "acrylic ball" specifically refers to this bead of mixture, which is a vital component in the application process as it allows the nail technician to build layers, create a smooth finish, and achieve the desired shape for the nail. Understanding the formation of the acrylic ball is essential for mastering the application technique, as it directly impacts the overall appearance and durability of the acrylic nails.
