Q

What is the function of a nail dehydrator?

A

Temporarily removes surface moisture and oils from the nail plate

17
Q

What is the function of ph bonders

A

Makes the surface of the nail more alkaline. This promotes adhesion since the alkaline surface will attract the acid in nail products

18
Q

What is the function of primers

A

Improve adhesion, act as double sided tape and are usually required for artificial enhancements

19
Q

What is a corrosive substance

A

A corrosive is a substance that can cause visible and possibly permanent skin damage

20
Q

What is a base coat

A

A base coat promotes adhesion between the natural nail and nail product. These products change the surface of the nail to promote chemical bonds between nail keratin and gel enhancements

21
Q

What are coatings?

A

Coatings are products that cover the nail with a hard film

22
Q

What are some examples of coatings?

A

Nail polish, top/base coats, artificial enhancements, and adhesives

23
Q

What is the main function of top coats

A

To seal the coats and give a long lasting power

24
Q

What is a monomer?

A

The individual molecules that join to make the polymer

25
Q

What is the main ingredient in regular nail polish (nail lacquer)

A

Nitrocellulose

26
Q

What is the function of resins in nail lacquer bottles

A

Resins make the film adhere to the nail bed

27
Q

What are the functions of plasticizers in nail lacquer bottles?

A

They’re chemicals that help keep the polish flexible and reduce the chance that it will crack or chip

28
Q

What is the function of pigments in nail lacquer bottles

A

Pigments are chemicals that add colour to the nail polish

29
Q

What are the two main chemicals used to create gel polish?

A

Benzoyl peroxide and methacrylate

30
Q

What is dermatitis?

A

Abnormal skin inflammation

31
Q

What is irritant contact dermatitis

A

When the skin is irritated by a substance

32
Q

What is allergic contact dermatitis

A

When someone becomes allergic to an ingredient in a product

33
Q

How do you avoid any type of dermatitis

A
  • never smooth the nail enhancement with more liquid monomer
  • never use monomer to clean up the nail sidewalls, edges or under the nail
  • never touch the hairs of the brush with your fingers
  • never touch any monomer liquids, UV gels or adhesives to the skin
    -never mix different products to create your own
  • always follow the manufacturers instructions
34
Q

What is toluene?

A

A clear colourless liquid found in nail polish and paints gives the smooth finish and makes it dry quickly

35
Q

Do nails breathe?

A

A- No. Hundred layers of flattened, dead keratin cells do not breathe. Dead is Dead.

36
Q

What are the possible causes of bubbles while the nail polish is drying?

A
