Ch. 28 Acrylic Nails-09

Front 1

Nail enhancements, commonly called acrylic nails, are based on mixing a combination of:

Back 1

liquid and powders

Front 2

Liquid and powder artificial nail enhancements are based on a subcategory of acrylic called

Back 2

methacrylate

Front 3

Natural hair bristles absorb and hold liquid monomer like a:

Back 3

reservoir

Front 4

Acrylic nail enhancements are created by combining monomer liquid with:

Back 4

polymer powder

Front 5

As monomer liquid absorbs polymer powder, the chemical interaction produces a small:

Back 5

bead of product

Front 6

Polymer powder is made using a special chemical reaction called:

Back 6

polymerization

Front 7

Polymer powder is blended with pigments and colorants to produce various:

Back 7

shades

Front 8

Additives designed to speed up the chemical reactions of monomers are:

Back 8

catalysts

Front 9

The initiator added to polymer powder to start the chain reaction of curing the nail enhancement is:

Back 9

benzoyl peroxide

Front 10

The ratio of polymer powder and liquid monomer used to create a product bead is called the:

Back 10

mix ratio

Front 11

Too much powder in a mix ratio causes nail enhancements to cure incorrectly and become:

Back 11

brittle and discolor

Front 12

When applying nail enhancements, surface moisture and natural oils left on the nail plate will:

Back 12

block adhesion

Front 13

To reach their ultimate strength, acrylic (methacrylate) nail enhancements require:

Back 13

24 to 48 hours

Front 14

Preformed nail extensions made from tenite acetate plastic are:

Back 14

nail tips

Front 15

Nail adhesives used for securing nail tips are all based on:

Back 15

cyanoacrylate monomers

Front 16

Special containers used to hold monomer and powder to minimize contamination and evaporation are:

Back 16

dappen dishes

Front 17

To protect eyes from flying objects and accidental slashes, the nail technician should wear:

Back 17

safety eyewear

Front 18

Masks are designed to prevent inhalation of excessive dust, but they offer no protection from:

Back 18

vapors

Front 19

A nail supply that is placed under the free edge to form a nail enhancement is a

Back 19

nail form

Front 20

For use with acrylic products, the best brushes to use are composed of:

Back 20

sable hair

Front 21

When using the brush to shape the enhancement on the free edge area, use:

Back 21

the middle portion of the brush

Front 22

The second bead of product placed on the natural nail should be:

Back 22

of medium consistency

Front 23

Placing enhancement products too close to the skin may cause:

Back 23

lifting

Front 24

Nail enhancements tapped with the handle of a brush are hard enough to file and shape when they make:

Back 24

a clicking sound

Front 25

For natural looking nails, product application near the eponychium, sidewalls, and free edge must be:

Back 25

thin

Front 26

A full and proper rebalance of all artificial nail enhancements should be done every:

Back 26

2 to 3 weeks

Front 27

In a rebalance procedure, the nail is thinned, the apex is removed, and the entire nail enhancement is:

Back 27

reduced in thickness

Front 28

Excessive nipping of loose nail enhancement products can damage the nail plate and perpetuate:

Back 28

lifting

Front 29

During removal, acrylic (methacrylate) enhancements should be soaked for:

Back 29

20 to 30 minutes

Front 30

When removing softened nail enhancement products, use a wooden or metal pusher and:

Back 30

gently push off the softened nail

Front 31

In general, odorless acrylics must be used with a(n):

Back 31

dry mix ratio

Front 32

When using an odorless product, for the proper mix ratio with the brush, use:

Back 32

multiple circular motions

Front 33

Odorless products harden more slowly, which creates the tacky layer called the:

Back 33

inhibition layer

Front 34

The tacky layer of odorless nails can be removed by alcohol, acetone, manufacturer recommended products or by:

Back 34

filing

Front 35
