Acrylic (methacrylate) nail enhancements are created by combining monomer liquid with:
Polymer powder.
Nail enhancements sculptured with the use of polymer powder are called:
Acrylic nails.
Brushes recommended for the application of acrylic (methacrylate) product are:
Natural hair.
When applying product, the brush is immersed into monomer & the tip of the brush is:
Touched to the surface of the dry polymer powder.
As monomer liquid absorbs a polymer powder, the product formed at the tip of the brushis referred to as a:
Bead of product.
Polymer powder is made using a special chemical reaction called:
Polymerization.
In the process of creating acrylic (methacrylate) nails, trillions of monomers are linked togther to create:
Long chains.
Additives are responsible for the product durability & color stability of the product, & they ensure:
Complete cure or set.
Additives used to control the set or curing time in monomer liquids are called:
Catalysts & initiators.
Initiators in polymer powder cause monomer molecules to permanently link together & form:
Long poly chains.
The initiator added to polymer powder is:
Benzoyl peroxide.
To ensure the proper curing when using nail enhancement products:
Do not mix manufacturer product lines.
Acrylic (methacrylate) overlays & nail enhancements can be created using one color powder if the client wears:
Nail polish all the time.
The amount of monomer liquid & polymer powder used to create a bead is called the:
Mix ratio.
If the consistency of a bead contains too little powder, the enhancement may not:
Cure correctly.
Surface moisture & oil on the natural nail plate can be removed with nail antiseptic or:
Nail dehydrators.
The use of acid-based nail primers may result in:
Skin burns or injury.
Acrylic (methacrylate) nail enhancements reach their ultimate strength in:
24 to 48 hours.
Nail adhesives used to secure nail tips to natural nails are all based on:
Cyanoacrylate polymers.
To prevent product contamination, a dappen dish should have:
A thightly fitted lid.
The shelf life of nail adhesives can be as short as:
6 months.
Unused monomer poured back into the original container will cause product:
Contamination.
The type of glove recommended for nail salon services is:
Nitrile polymer.
The area that should not be cut when applying multiuse nail forms is the:
Hyponychium
The bead of product for shaping the free edge should have a:
Medium consistency.
The time required for a product to properly clean brushes is determined by:
The manufacturer's directions.
When placing the second ball of acrylic on the free edge, use a medium consistency & place on the nail plate below the first bead &:
Next to the free edge line in the center of the nail.
For natural looking nails, the product application must be smooth & thin at the:
Side walls, free edge, & eponychium.
In rebalancing acrylic (methacrylate) nail enhancements, the nail is thinned down & reduced in thickness &:
The apex of the nail bed will be removed.
The area between the existing acrylic product & new growth of the nail plate is the:
Ledge.
