Answer |
Monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancements are lucrative services. |
True |
Catalysts are added to the polymer powder and used to control the set or curing time. |
False
|
Acid-based nail primer is corrosive to the skin and potentially dangerous to eyes. |
True |
Hand sanitizers can be used in place of hand washing. |
False |
Overly large brushes can hold excessive amounts of liquid and alter the mix ratio of the powder and liquid. |
True |
Primers and liquids should be stored together in a cool, well-lit area. |
False |
Sculptured nails are created by combining monomer liquid with:
|
polymer powder |
As monomer liquid absorbs polymer powder, the chemical interaction produces a small:
|
bead of product |
Polymer powder is made using a special chemical reaction called:
|
polymerization |
When using the brush to shape the enhancement on the free edge area, use:
|
the middle portion of the brush |
For natural-looking nails, product application near the eponychium, sidewalls, and free edge must be:
|
thin |
Additives designed to speed up the chemical reactions of monomers are:
|
catalysts |
The initiator added to polymer powder to start the chain reaction of curing the nail enhancement is:
|
benzoyl peroxide |
The amount of polymer powder and liquid monomer used to create a product bead is called the:
|
mix ratio |
Too much powder in a mix ratio causes nail enhancements to cure incorrectly and become:
|
brittle and discolored |
When applying nail enhancements, surface moisture and natural oils left on the nail plate will:
|
block adhesion |
A nail supply that is placed under the free edge to extend a nail enhancement is a:
|
nail form |
Pre-formed nail extensions made from ABS or tenite acetate plastic are:
|
nail tips |
Special containers used to hold monomer liquid and polymer powder that minimize contamination and evaporation are:
|
dappen dishes |
Masks are designed to prevent inhalation of excessive dust, but they offer no protection from:
|
vapors |
Proper maintenance of nail enhancements should be done every:
|
2 to 3 weeks |
Use of a nipper to clip away loosen nail enhancement product can damage the nail plate and perpetuate:
|
lifting |
When lightly tapped with the handle of a brush, hard nail enhancements make:
|
a clicking sound |
During removal, monomer liquid and polymer powder enhancements should be soaked for:
|
20 to 30 minutes |
When removing softened nail enhancement products, use a wooden or metal pusher and:
|
gently push off the softened nail |
Odorless products harden more slowly, which creates the tacky layer called the:
|
inhibition layer |
Where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge |
Stress area |
Starts a chain reaction that leads to the creation of very long polymer chains |
Initiators |
Area of the nail that has all the strength |
Arch |
One unit called a molecule |
Monomer |
