Made in Hertfordshire · Est. by a working technician

Made in the chair it is sold from.

Sixty-six is a small acrylic system: one monomer, five core powders, two prep solutions and the tools that go with them. Every item in it goes on paying clients in my studio seven days a week. If something stops performing, it comes off the shelf rather than into a sale.

The system

Three steps. Nothing in the range that does not earn its place.

Most sets that lift were lost before a single bead was placed. The prep is not the boring part of the system, it is the part that decides whether the fourth week looks like the first.

01

Prep

Dehydrator lifts the oil off the plate. Acid-free primer gives the product something to hold without stripping the nail underneath. Two bottles, thirty seconds, and the single biggest cause of early lifting goes away.

02

Build

66 Monomer with a core powder. Low odour, predictable set time, and a bead that stays where you put it long enough to work it. Clear and White for structure, Pink and Nude for cover, Shimmer Pink when she wants it to catch the light.

03

Finish

File, refine the apex, and cut the cuticle properly with a cutter that is actually sharp. Most of the tools sold to technicians are blunt within a month. Mine are the ones I could not find, so I had them made.

The liquid

66 Monomer

The one product everything else in the range is built around. Low odour, HEMA free, and formulated to give you a working window that is long enough to place an apex properly and short enough that you are not waiting on it.

The powders

Five core powders, chosen because I could not work without them.

Not a colour chart with forty shades on it that nobody finishes. Five tubs that cover a fullset, a French, an ombre and a cover pink, each one 8oz so a busy week does not empty it.

01Translucent
Clear
Structure, encapsulation and anything you want the nail to show through.
£298 oz
02Opaque
White
Crisp French tips and the smile line that does not go grey by week two.

Pink
The everyday cover. Warm enough to sit naturally on most hands.
£298 oz
04Cover
Nude
Deeper cover for medium and darker skin. The shade most ranges leave out.

05Shimmer
Shimmer Pink
A fine shimmer through a cover pink. The one that sells itself in the chair.

The next one
Being tested in the chair now. It goes on the shelf when it survives a month of real clients.

All core powders also supplied in 30 g pots inside the starter kit.

Prep and tools

The four things that decide whether the set survives.

P115 ml
Dehydrator
Takes the oil and moisture off the plate so the primer has clean ground to work on.
£9Each
P215 ml
Acid-Free Primer
Grip without burn. Safe on a thin natural nail and safe on a client who has had a bad experience.

Cuticle Cutters
My own. I could not buy a pair that stayed sharp past a month, so I had them made properly.

Full box, graded sizes. The shapes I actually reach for rather than a box with three useful sizes in it.

Buying the dehydrator and primer together is £16 rather than £18. They are meant to be used as a pair and there is no sense pricing them as though they are not.

The way in

The Acrylic Starter Kit

Everything needed to build a full set, in the sizes that make sense when you are starting. The core powders in 30 g pots rather than 8 oz tubs, and the monomer in 50 ml, so you are not carrying a litre of liquid you will not finish.

  • The core powder range in 30 g pots
  • 66 Monomer, 50 ml
  • Dehydrator, 15 ml
  • Acid-free primer, 15 ml

Who makes it

I am not a brand that found a factory. I am a technician who got tired of the products.

I run a one-chair studio in Stevenage and I am in it seven days a week. Sixty-six exists because I kept buying liquid that flashed off too fast, primer that burned, and cutters that were blunt by the second month.

Everything here is what I use on the people who pay me. That is the only test it has to pass, and it is a harder one than a focus group.
