are lucrative services
monomer liquid and polymer power nail enhancements
also known as sculptured nails, are created by combining a chemical known as monomer liquid mixed with polymer powder to form a nail enhancements
monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancements
enhancement systems belong to a branch of the acrylic family called
methacrylates
mono means a one and me stances for units so a _________ is one unit called a molecule
monomer
poly means many, so _______ means a substance formed by combining many small molecules into very long chain like structures
polymer
nail enhancements can be applied in 4 basics ways
on natural nail
over a tip
on a form
to create small works of art
best brush for application
natural hair pointed round or oval brush
is a widely used monomer with long history of sage has in medical and dental products
MMA
polymer powder is made using ___________, also known as curing or hardening a chemical reaction that creates polymers
polymerization
polymer powders are usually blending with _______ and _______ to creat a wide range of shades
pigments
colorants
found in polymer powder, when activated by a catalyst, will spring into action and cause monomer molecules to permanently link together into long polymer chains
initiators
amount of monomer liquid to polymer powder used to create a bead
mix ratio
if too much powder is picked up your bread will
not cure correctly
nail dehydrators
remove surface moisture and excess oils
used on natural nail after nail tips or before acrylic placement
nail primer
