|
Apex (arch) |
The area of the nail that has the strength; usually oval-shaped and is located in the center of the nail. |
|
|
Catalysts |
Substances that speed up chemical reactions. |
|
|
Cain reaction |
also known as Polymerization reaction; process that joins together monomers to create very long polymer chains. |
|
|
Initiators |
Substance that starts the chain reaction that leads to the creation of very long polymer chains. |
|
|
Monomer Liquid |
Chemical liquid mixed with polymer powder to form the sculptured nail enhancement. |
|
|
Monomer Liquid and Polymer Powder Nail Enhancements. |
Enhancements created by combining monomer liquid and polymer powder. |
|
|
Nail Extension Underside |
The actual underside of the nail extension; is usually smooth. |
|
|
Odorless Monomer Liquid and Polymer Powder Products. |
Enhancement product that has very low odor. |
|
|
Polymer |
Substance formed by combining many small molecules (monomers) or oligomers, usually in extremely long, chain like structure. |
|
|
Polymer Powder |
Powder in white, pink, clear, and many other colors that are combined with monomer liquid to form the nail enhancement. |
|
|
Polymerization |
Also known as curing or hardening; chemical reaction that created polymers. |
|
|
Sidewall |
side of the nail plate that grows free of its attachments to the nail fold and where the extension leaves the natural nail. |
|
|
Stress Area |
The part of the nail enhancement where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge. This area needs strength to support the nail extension. |
|
|
Maintenance Services |
the nail is thinned down, the apex of the nail is removed, and the entire nail enhancement is reduced in thickness. |
|
|
Protective Gloves |
Are disposable or multi use. They are used for applications such as primer. |
|
|
Dust Mask |
A mask worn over the nose and mouth to prevent inhalation of excessive amounts of dust. |
|
|
Safety Eye-wear |
Protects the eyes from flying debris and accidental splashes. |
|
|
Nail Brush |
Sable hair brushes are the most preferred choice for nail brushes. Synthetic and less expensive brushes do not pick up or let go of liquids properly. Having too much liquid can increase the risk of accidentally touching the client's skin causing skin irritation and development to skin sensitivity. |
|
|
Dappen Dish |
Hold monomer liquid and polymer powders. |
|
|
Nail Forms |
Places under the free edge and used to extend the nail enhancements beyond the finger tip for length. |
|
|
Storing Monomer Liquid and Polymer Powder Products |
Store these products in covered containers. Store all primers and liquids separate from each other in a cool, dark area. |
|
|
Mono |
means one |
|
|
Mer |
stands for units |
|
|
Monomer |
one unit called a Molecule |
|
|
Poly |
Means many |
|
|
Polymer |
Many units or many molecules (linked together like a chain) |
|
|
Dehydrators |
Removes the surface oils and moisture. |
|
|
Nail Primers |
Can be acid or nonacid based. Used to help adhere enhancements to the natural nail. |
|
|
Abrasives |
Selected is a medium ( grit of 180-240) for natural nail and buffer (350 grit or higher). a 180 grit is used to shape the nail. |
|
|
Stress Area |
Is where natural nails grow beyond the finger and becomes the free edge. This are needs strength to support the extension. |
|
|
Sidewall |
Is the area of the nail plate that grows free of its attachment to the nail fold and where the extension leaves the natural nail. |
