Chapter 29- Light Cured Gels Flashcards
alison known as UV and LED gel, a type of nail enhancement product that hardens when exposed to a UV and LED light source
light cured gels
like wrap resins, adhesives, monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancements, light cured gel enhancements rely on ingredients from the monomer liquid and polymer chemical family. There ingredients are apart of the subcategory of this family called _______
acrylates
term oligo means
few
a short chanson of monomer liquids thats often thick, sticky and gel like and that is not long enough to be considered a polymer
oligomer
between a solid and liquid
oligomer
the main ingredients used alone or in combo with urethane acrylates to create light cured gel nail enhancements
urethane acrylate
urethane methacrylates
the chemical family of urethanes is known for
high abrasion resistance and durability
initiated the polymerization reaction
photoiniator
difference between light cured gels is the type of _________ used in the formula and the measure of light that the photoinitator responds to
photoinitiator
Ultra violent light isn’t actually untreated violent. UV js really wave lengths of electromagnetic radiation that are just beyond the visible spectrum of _____.
light
to harden
cure
measurements of thickness or thinness
viscosity
once color of gel is applied
one color method
two colors of gel is applied
two color method
used to increase adhesion to natural nail plate
bonding gel
includes any thick viscosity resin that allows the cosmetologist to build an arch and curve into the finger nail
building gel
thinner in consistency than building gels, allowing them to settle and leave during application
self leveling
helps to build an arch
building gel
“primer”
bonding gel
if someone already has an arch,
self leveling
can be building gels or self leveling that include color pigment
pigmented gels
thing viscosity usually pigmented and packaged in a pot or polish bottle. used as an alternative to normal nail polish
gel polish
also known as sealing, finishing or shine gel, used over the finished and filed gel application to create a high shine
glossing gel
tacky surface left on the nail after curing
inhibition layer
amount of colored pigment concentration in a gel, making it more or less difficult to see through
opacity
which lamp cures faster
LED
choose a light curing gel lamp designed to produce the correct amount of ____ or ______ needs to properly cure the gel nail enhancement products you use
UV
LED
choose bristles with _____, ______ bristles to hold and spread the light cured gels.
short flat
designed to specifically improve adhesion of UV and LED gels to the natural nail plate
gel primer or bonding gel
sometimes used to allow UV or LED radiation to penetrate from the underside for more complete curing of free edge
clear plastic nail form
natural nail prep
medium to fine grit
must have a __________ surface in order for the finishing or glossing gels to adhere, so buffing after surface filing is not necessary
slightly rough
if clients returns to you with a broke enhancement, what gel should be used for the bet possible service
a gel containing fiber glass
emit UV radiation to cure UV gel nail enhancements.
UV bulb
also known as _______, is a specialized electronic device that powers and controls UV bulbs to cure UV gel nail enhancements
UV LAMP
electronic device that houses LED bulbs, most LED lamps cure gel about ____ faster than UV lamps
led lamp
4
measurement of how much electricity the bulb consumes
lamp wattage
usually packed in small opaque pots or squeeze tubes to protect them from UV or LED light
light cures gels
how often must UV bulbs be changed
2-3 times per year depending by how much you use it
when was light cured gel introduced to the beauty industry
2000
maintenance for light cured gels
2 week’s
cannot be removed with solvent, must be filed off
hard gel
can be removed by soaking in acetone for 5-15 min and gently pushed away
soft gel
gently file or buff the nail plate with a ______ abrasive or the abrasive recommend by the gel manufacture to remove the shine on nail plate
medium/fine
overlap the UV gel overlaps the tops edge to prevent
lifting
