Absorbent Paper Towel
The area of the side of the nail plate that grows free of its attachment to the nail fold is called the ___.
Sidewall
Nipping an acrylic nail may perpetuate a lifting problem and can damage the ___.
Nail plate

Inhibition Layer
The polymer in acrylic nail enhancements is represented by the ___.
Powder
