|
|
Nail enhancements based on UV curing are similar to ____. |
Methacrylates |
|
|
UV gel enhancements that rely on ingredients from a chemical family called _____, a subcategory of the monomer liquid and polymer powder family. |
Acrylates |
|
|
Like wraps and monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancements, UV gel can contain ____but they rely on a related form called _____. |
Monomer liquid. Oligomer |
|
|
What does the term oligo mean? |
A few |
|
|
What is the concept of oligomer? |
A short chain of monomer liquid that is often thick, sticky and gel-like. Too short to be polymer. Between polymer and monomer. |
|
|
Traditionally, UV gels rely on a special type of acrylate called ____, while new UV gel systems use ______. |
Urethane Urethane methacrylates |
|
|
The term ____ refers to the type of starting material used to create the most common UV gel resins. |
Urethane |
|
|
A chemical called ____ causes UV gel resins to react when exposed to the UV light and initiates polymerization reaction. |
Photoinitiator |
|
|
After the nail plate is properly prepared, each layer of product that is applied requires exposure to UV light to ____ or harden. |
Cure |
|
|
Describe the one colour method for applying UV gels. |
The method where one colour of the UV gel is applied over the entire nail surface and used for clients who want coloured Polish or overenhancements. |
|
|
What is viscosity? |
How thick a liquid is. How fast it runs. |
|
|
____ are used to increase adhesion to the natural nail plate, similar to a monomer liquid and polymer powder. |
UV bonding gels. |
|
|
What is UV self leveling gels used for? |
They are thinner than bonding gels and they allow UV gels to settle and level during application and enhance the thickness of overlay |
|
|
What gel is helpful when repairing a break or crack in a client's enhancement and closely resembles monomer liquid and polymer powder nails? |
UV building gel polish |
|
|
What is inhibition? |
The tacky layer left on the nail after the gel has cured. |
|
|
What is opacity? |
The amount of coloured pigment concentration in a gel, making it more or less difficult to see through. |
|
|
_____ are used to hold and spread UV gel. |
Brush ( synthetic with small flat bristles.) |
|
|
What type file would you use for a natural nail preparation? |
Medium abrasion. 180 grit. |
|
|
___ is the measure of how much electricity a lamp consumes. |
Wattage. |
|
|

4,6,7,8,9!! |
|
|
How often should UV bulbs be changed? |
2-3 times per year. |
|
|
What are some results of failing to regularly changing UV lamps/bulbs? |

|
|
Traditionally UV gels connot be removed with ____, they must be _______. |
Solvent. Filed off the natural nail |
|
|
What is the second layer of gel called? |
UV building gel |
|
|
How do you contour a UV enhancement? |
Bevel down, filing at a 45° angle from top centre to free edge. |
|
|
How do you remove dust and filing from the nail? |
With a clean and disinfected nylon brush. |
|
|
Why must you use caution when filing gel nails? |
They are softer and file easier. To avoid injury or cracking. |
|
|
How do you apply the sealer or finishing layer of UV gels to prevent lifting? |
Brush it lightly over the entire nail surface and under the natural nails free edge. Don't touch the skin. |
