To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This product is a complete nightmare! I purchased it after seeing that it was a “best seller“ but I failed to read some of the bad reviews, which I regret! I am a nail tech and wanted to try this monomer for the first time, since I have heard great things about this brand. Whatever this liquid is that I received cannot be the actual product, it HAS to be fake!? First of all, it’s very difficult to apply and after it is applied, it feels like rubber. It leaves the nails completely bendable, feels sticky, gummy, very rubbery and we gave it over one hour to dry and it never dried. A nail job that would have taken one hour ended up taking four hours. And to top it off, I cannot return this trash for a refund! not to mention it smells so horrible we all had headaches. So it’s a big waste of money, please do not buy this!!!!!
Turned to rubber when mixed with acrylic powder . Amazon refunded . But horrible trying to replace the product before holidays . Couldn’t work for 2 weeks . Biggest time of the year.
The overall product is Meh. I purchased this along with the Mia Secret Acrylic Powder after reading reviews and seeing the ratings. A bit more expensive then what I normally purchase but I thought I would give it a try. As pretty as it is if you have a job where you use your hands alot I wouldn't recommend this product. My nails keep popping off and it's beginning to get really annoying. I can't go one day now without at least one popping off. I almost find it pointless to keep redoing my nails with this product. I won't be purchasing again and will be going back to my old brand. Sorry it just didnt work out for me. Maybe you'll have better luck with this than I did.
I usually don’t write reviews but this particular issue was highly frustrating. I have purchased the Mia Secret brand of monomer many times from amazon with no issues but this particular time the bottle came with a plastic seal on the outside but no aluminum protective seal on the bottle . I overlooked this issue as I have bought this monomer several times and used it with no issues. I was doing a clients nails when we noticed that the nails were flimsy and bendable and the acrylic would not fully harden . It was as though the acrylic was clay , this was very upsetting as I had to stop doing my clients set and refund her for her wasted time ! I would recommend that you do not use this product if not properly sealed .

I gave this a one star because every acrylic I used dried like rubber. I thought maybe it was the acrylic so I tried 5 different brands and they all turned out the same I paid a lot of money for this product for this to turn out like this idk if the item number is expired but this 8 oz of Mia secret monomer is a bad batch which I’m so shocked because this is one of the best products to use. I want my money back or a new one. I can literally peel the acrylic I laid on my practice hand off I’ll post a video and excuse the look of my nails it’s too soft to keep its form. I’m not saying don’t buy Mia secret products because they’re awesome I just believe this monomer is no good what’s so ever

When I got this item, there was no seal and as soon as you opened it the smell was soo overbearing, it gave me and my mom a headache. I tried to used this item but it keeps the powder runny, even if I used a little but. PLEASE DON'T BUY !!!!!! I GOT RIP OFF AND YOU CANT RETURN THIS ITEM.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT, MONOMER SHOULD NEVER HAVE A ODOR UNLESS ITS FAKE MEANING THERE'S MMA INSIDE. SOME PEOPLE ARE ALLERGIC (WILL BURN THE SKIN) AND CAN NOT BE USED.
This product did not dry....these pictures were taken one day after the application....the nails were flimsy and bendable......unfortunately it was a waste of money for me personally because I dont have the option to exchange this product.....other than this issue I've ordered mia secrets powders and I haven't had a problem

I am not sure what happened, I’ve bought this monomer before, but this bottle I recently received won’t set AT ALL! It turns to a taffy like consistency to the point where I was able to just peel off the entire nail! I’ve never had a problem with Mia secret monomer but something is definitely up with this last bottle, maybe a fake?? I don’t know. I’ve been doing nails for awhile so I know it’s not technique, environment, or prep.
i recently just received this monomer and i have been using this brand of monomer for about 2 years now and i’ve never had an issue with it until now. i was excited to do nails because i haven’t been doing nails as much lately so i was using it, i did about 3 nails and i was waiting for them to dry and it took longer then it should. i use the mia secret clear acrylic so there shouldn’t be an issue anyways i waited and it didn’t harder up like it suppose to. it was flimsy and a jelly like consistency when i touched it, i was literally able to peel the acrylic off the whole nail (which is shown in the picture) and this has never happened to me before it was the first. i was very disappointed and mad because i’ve been waiting for my package to arrive only to be disappointed in what i ordered. Oh and i also had a little bit of good monomer still left over in a bottle i have and i poured all of the new monomer i got into that one so now i don’t have any good monomer to use and i do peoples nails to buy nail products and now i can’t do nails because of this situation. :(
