Dappen dish
The best nail brush to use with monomer liquid and polymer powder enhancement products is composed of natural Kalinsky_or a blend of both
Sable/mink/bristle/angora
Sable
Unused monomer that has been removed from the original container should be
Poured back into the original container for use with another client
Poured down the train with the hot water running
Poured into an absorbent paper towel and placed in a plastic bag
Poured into an absorbent paper towel and placed in a plastic bag
When a nail tech files a damaged section of a monomer liquid and polymer powder enhancement and refills it with appropriate products it’s called a
Backfill/rebalance/maintenance service/crack repair
Crack repair
A dry mix ratio creates a bed that looks under score on the nail Brush
Frosted/runny/glossy/dark
Frosted
Odorless products Harden more slowly and create a tacky layer called
Dehydrator layer/obstruction layer/inhibition layer/assistant layer
Inhibition layer
The apex of the nail is also known as the
Stress area, arch, side wall, lunula
Arch
The Apex is usually what shape
Oval/half moon/round/rectangular
Oval
The area where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge is known as the
Sidewall/Apex/arch/stress area
Stress area
The length of the nail extensions and enhancements should be the same on
All five fingers/the index and middle and ring fingers/the index and ring fingers/the thumb middle finger and pinky
The index middle and ring fingers
The C curve of the nail enhancement depends on the c curve of the natural nail which is an average _ percent
20/30/25/35
35
Some manufactures make a_that brushes on to cure the Tachy inhibition layer that must be applied immediately after creating the odorless product enhancement
Resin/hydrator/adhesive/dissolver
Resin
Nail artistry with colored polymer powder is limited only by
Your resources/your imagination/your pocketbook/your clients wishes
Your imagination
When performing a one color monomer and polymer nail enhancement application it’s recommended you apply_after using a pusher to push back the Eponychium and filing to remove the Shine
Nail primer/nail oil/nail dehydrator/cuticle remover
Nail dehydrator
When acid free primer Dries on the nail it will be
Sticky and dull/sticky and shiny/smooth and dull/smooth and shiny.
Sticky and shiny
When performing a one color monomer and polymer enhancement application it’s recommended the first speed of monomer and polymer applied to the nail be
Dry/medium to dry/wet/medium to wet
Medium to dry
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
Middle portion/base/tip/handle
Middle portion
To perform a 2 color monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancement with forms you will need nail dehydrator ,nail forms ,enhancement product ,primer, abrasives brushes and
Cuticle nippers/Dapin dishes/overlay product/nail polish
Dappen dishes
Acid based nail primer will dry to a

After the application of the two color monomer and polymer enhancement it’s recommended you file the underside of the nail extension and glide the abrasive over the nail with_
Long, sweeping strokes/short, brisk strokes/a dotting, movement/small, circular strokes
Long sleeping strokes
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
Using a nipper to clip it away/use scissors to clip it away/soak off the enhancement and start fresh with a new application/apply a strengthening layer of product over the existing enhancement
Soak off the enhancement and start fresh with a new application
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 smile line is achieved
