Ch. 28 Liquid & Monomer Nail Enhancer Flashcards
One unit called a molecule
Monomer
Area of the nail that has all the strength
Arch
Starts a chain reaction that leads to the creation of very long polymer chains
Initiators
Where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge
Stress Area
Odorless products harden more slowly, which creates the tacky layer called the:
Inhibition layer
When removing softened nail enhancement products, use a wooden or metal pusher and:
Gently push off the softened nail
Use of a nipper to clip away loosen nail enhancement product can damage the nail plate and perpetuate:
Lifting
Special containers used to hold monomer liquid and polymer powder that minimize contamination and evaporation are:
Dappen Dishes
Pre-formed nail extensions made from ABS or tenite acetate plastic are:
Nail Tips
When applying nail enhancements, surface moisture and natural oils left on the nail plate will:
Block adhesion
Too much powder in a mix ratio causes nail enhancements to cure incorrectly and become:
Brittle and discolored
The amount of polymer powder and liquid monomer used to create a product bead is called the:
Mix Ratio
The initiator added to polymer powder to start the chain reaction of curing the nail enhancement is:
Benzoyl Peroxide
When using the brush to shape the enhancement on the free edge area, use:
The middle portion of the brush
Polymer powder is made using a special chemical reaction called:
Polymerization
