12 – Cover Flamingo – 45g – YOUNG NAILS Acrylic Powder

Cover Acrylic Powder · Cover Flamingo #12 — vivid pink-peach cover powder — the brightest in the Cover line. Use for clients who want a noticeable pink bed under nude top color.

What It Does

Cover Powder is a pigmented acrylic polymer that hides the natural nail”s free-edge transition, giving you a seamless one-tone enhancement without a French smile line. The mid-set Cover formula begins to set in roughly 75 seconds — fast enough for production, slow enough to sculpt the apex cleanly. Particle blend is consistent so beads pick up evenly and self-level under brush pressure.

Why Pros Choose This

Pre-pigmented opacity — no streaking, no second coat needed

75-second set window — controlled sculpting without rushing

Low-shrinkage chemistry holds apex shape after filing

Compatible with all standard liquid monomers (use Young Nails Liquid Monomer for best ratio)

How to Use

Prep nail: push back cuticles, lightly buff shine, dehydrate with Protein Bond

Dip clean #8 acrylic brush in monomer, tap off excess, pick up a medium bead

Place bead at smile line area first, press and pat into shape, then build apex and free edge

Allow 60-90 seconds to fully set before filing; finish with gel top coat or buffer for matte/satin

Best For

Home-studio techs building full-set acrylic extensions for everyday wear, small-salon pros who need a reliable cover shade for natural-look manicures, and DIY users practicing one-color extension technique. Skill level: intermediate to advanced — basic bead control required.
