Monomer Liquid And Polymer Powder

Front 1

Apex (arch)

Back 1

The area of the nail that has all of the strength; usually oval-shaped and is located in the center of the nail.

Front 2

Catalysts

Back 2

Substances that speed up chemical reactions.

Front 3

Chain Reaction

Back 3

Process that joins together monomers to create very long polymer chains.

Front 4

Initiators

Back 4

Substance that starts the chain reaction that leads to the creation of very long polymer chains.

Front 5

Monomer Liquid

Back 5

Chemical liquid mixed with polymer powder to form the sculptured nail enhancement.

Front 6

Monomer Liquid and Polymer Powder Nail Enhancements

Back 6

Enhancements created by combining monomer liquid and polymer powder.

Front 7

Nail Extension Underside

Back 7

The actual underside of the nail extension; is usually smooth.

Front 8

Odorless Monomer Liquid and Polymer Powder Products

Back 8

Nail enhancement product that has a very low odor.

Front 9

Polymer

Back 9

Substance formed by combining many small molecules (monomers) or oligomers, usually in extremely long, chain-like structure.

Front 10

Polymer Powder

Back 10

Powder in white, clear, pink, and many other colors that is combined with monomer liquid to form the nail enhancement.

Front 11

Polymerization

Back 11

Curing or hardening; chemical reaction that creates polymers.

Front 12

Sidewall

Back 12

The area on the side of the nail plate that grows free of its attachment to the nail fold and where the extension leaves the natural nail.

Front 13

Stress Area

Back 13

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.
