18 UV & LED Gels Flashcards
A type of mail and Hance meant products that hardens when exposed to UV light source. _____. Gels have become the newest form of enhancements to sweep the industry.
UV gel’s
UV and LED curing nail enhancements aren’t thought of as methacrylates. But they are similar. Like wrap resins, adhesives and mono and polymer enhancements UV gels Rely On ingredients from the Monomer and Polymer chemical family. From a subcategory called______. Wrap resins I called___and monomer liquid and polymer are the same as UV gel’s and they are called___.
. (acrylates and methacrylates.) Cyanoacrylate’s, Methacrylates
The most UV and LED gels are made of acrylates, newer ones are using methacrylates. Just like wraps, mono, and poly powder. UV and LED gels can also contain monomers but they rely mostly on somethings similar______. Mono means one, probably means many. Oligo means____. It is a short chain of monomers that is not long enough to be considered a polymer and referred to as a pre-polymer. Monomer liquid polymers are solid. Oligomers are in between. They are often thick, gel like and sticky.
Oligomer, few
UV gel’s normally rely on urethane acrylic but are now relying on urethane methacrylates. While some are in combination of the two. ____ refers to the type of starting material used to create common gel resins. It’s known for its high abrasion resistance and durability. They react to UV light and a chemical called___causes polymerization.
Urethane, photoinitiator
And give me an LED shells are easy to apply but not as hard as acrylics. They require UV or LED to cure..Some professionals favor a UV gel that’s thick and doesn’t level on its own. Others use shelves that south level quickly. They are thin viscosity medium viscosity or thick for scarcity and building or sculpting shelves viscosity is the measurement of__or__of a liquid and a sex it’s flow.
Thickness or thinness 
- a clear resin is used for the one color method for clients who wish to wear polish over an enhancement.
- Pink or white resin for a two colored method for a French or American Manny without any nail lacquer.

__Are used to increase adhesion to the nail plate similar to a primer they vary in consistency and chemical components some smell like monomer and polymer primers some don’t smell. __Include any stick this Casity resin that allows the nail tech to build an arch and curved to the fingernail. Can be used w self leveling Jealous and can reduce filing and shipping.
UV bonding gels, UV building gels
__Are used to enhance the thickness of other Gels while providing a smooth surface. I__can be building gels or self-leveling shells that include color pigment. ___R and alternative to traditional nail LeCours they do not try the cure and they don’t have any solvent odor and won’t become smudged 
UV self-leveling gels .
Pigmented gels
Gel polishes
____May also be called sealing gels, finishing gels or shine gels. They can also be used over acrylicsThere are some that cure with an inhibition sticky layer and some to a high shine tax-free. The___is a tacky surface left after being cured. traditional UV gloss Gels do not discolor after prolonged exposure to UV light while tack free gloss gels may discolor. How many manufactures are developing tack free clause gels that don’t discolor upon exposure but for now traditional UV gloss shells still hold the market for non-yellowing performance.
UV glass shelves, inhibition layer
Some of the supplies needed :
- UV or LED gel primer or bonding gel is something else you need for your supplies.
- it’s important when using nail tips which are also required as supplies to size the tips of the curve matches the curve of the nail If the tip is too flat it could crack match the curve of the tip to the nails. You also need a brace of files and buffers select a medium abrasive of__for natural nail prep. Choose a fine abrasive__for smoothing and a fine buffer__for finishing.

And gels have less odor than acrylics the cure quickly and where longer than natural nail polish.If a client has fingernails with an arch or curves then self-leveling shell may be the best option or a medium to fix this Cassidy chill. If the client returns to the salon often with broken enhancements than a gel with fiberglass may be the best.

Hi___is a special bulb that admits like to cure gel nail enhancement there are4,,6,7,8,9 watt bulbs. They vary and caring powder and affect performance gels performance once it’s been cured. __Is the light unit in a specialized and controls UV an LED bulbs to cure gels.
UV or LED bulb
. UV or LED lamp
Lamps are typically refer to by the number of bulbs inside the lamp multiplied by the watts. Remember that the__measures how much electricity is consumed but does not indicate how much UV light a lamp produces. It’s a lamp has four bulbs each nine words that the light unit is called a__white lamp. And if it only has three bulbs and each is nine white then it is__white lamp.
Watts, 36, 27
UV bulbs will stay violet for years but after a few months they produce too little UV light to properly cure enhancements. They must be changed to to three times per year depending on the use or service breakdown skin irritation and product sensitivity can occur from inadequately cured gel . The most common bulb is a 9 W. The most shells can be cured and any manufactures 36 white lamp. If a gel is cured an alarm for that it’s not intended to be cured and it’ll become hard crack lift or separate from the nail. It may not have a high shine. Similar to a Monomer and Polymer system applied with incorrect Mix ratio. LED lamps don’t care most traditional UV gels use only labs that manufacture endorses using the wrong LED cut drastically affect the curing process

 to remove gel polish professionals fWhile polish off by hand with an abrasive or e-file some gel polishes I removed by soaking the nails in acetone for 5 to 10 minutes and scraped off with a wooden stick take care not to damage the natural nail plate since it will Softing upon exposure to the acetone this could damage and alter the color of the fingernail. This could also lead to infection or cracking due to decreased nail strength.
