| Question | 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 |
