Compared to acne treatments, nail powders contain-----
Medium
It is recommended that you mix 1 1/2 parts monomer liquid with 1 part polymer powder to create a ------------bead.
Mix ratio
The amount of monomer liquid and polymer powder used to create a bead is called the -------
Medium
In general, ------------beads are the ideal mix ratio for working with monomer liquids and polymer powders.
Dehydrators
Nail--------remove surface moisture and tiny amounts of oil left on the natural nail plate.
Nail plate
Nail dehydrator should be applied liberally to the ------------.
Primer
Nail------------is used on the natural nail prior to product application to assist in adhesion.

Crack repair
When a nail tech files a damaged section of a monomer liquid and polymer powder enhancement and refills it with the appropriate products, it is called a -----------------------
Frosted
A dry mix ratio creates a bead that looks--------- on the brush.
Inhibition layer
Odorless product harden more slowly and create a tacky layer, called the ------------------.

The apex of the nail is also known as the -------------.
Oval
The apex is usually what shapes-----------?
Stress area
The area where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge is known as the---------.
The index, middle, and ring finger
The length of the nail extensions and enhancements should be the same on----------------------.
35
The C-curve of the nail enhancement depends on the C-curve of the natural nail, which is on average-------------percent.
Resin
Some manufactures make a ------------------that brushes on to cure the tacky inhibition layer that must be applied immediately after creating the odorless product enhancement.
Your imagination
Nail artists with colored polymer powder is limited only by--------------.
Nail dehydrator
When performing a one-color monomer and polymer nail enhancement application, it is recommended that you apply----------------- after using a pusher to push back the eponychium and filing to remove the shine.

When performing a one-color monomer and polymer enhancement application, it is recommended that the first bead of monomer and polymer applied to the be --------------------.
Middle portion
After applying the first bead of product during a monomer and polymer enhancement application, you should use the --------------- of your brush to press and smooth the product.
Dappen dishes
To perform a two-color monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancement with forms, you will need nail dehydrator, nail forms, enhancement product, primer, abrasives, brushes, and --------------.
Chalky white
Acid based nail primer will dry to a ------------------.
Thin
When performing a two-color monomer and polymer enhancement application, the application must be---------------------at the cuticle line.

When performing a one-color monomer and polymer enhancement maintenance service, what should you do if there is excessive, loose nail-enhancement product and lifting?
Smile line
When performing a two-color monomer and polymer nail enhancement, use the tip of the brush to push--------------into place and wipe the edge until a crisp rounded line is achieved.
