Spread the fingers or toes

Adductor muscles

Pull the fingers or toes together

Opponens muscles

Group of adductor muscles located in the palm that pulls the thumb towards the fingers

Microtrauma

Causing small unseen openings in the skin that allow for the entry of pathogens

Metal pushers

Used to gently scrape the cuticle from the natural nail; made of stainless steel and can be disinfected and reused

Reflexology

Based on the use of reflex points located throughout the hands, feet, and head that are linked to other parts of the body

Femur

Long bone extending from the hip to the knee, also known as the thigh bone

Patella

Kneecap

Tibia

Shin bone


The largest of the two bones below the knee that form the lower leg

Fibula

Bone forming the outer part of the lower leg, extending from the knee to the ankle

Tarsal

Seven bones that form the ankle

Metatarsal

Five long, slender bones located between the ankles and the toes

Gastrocnemius

Muscle located in the calf t that pulls the foot down; attached to the lower portion of the heel

Tibialis anterior

Muscle that covers the shin and bends the foot

Soleus

Muscle that is attached to the lower heel and bends the foot down

Peroneus longus

Peroneus brevis

Shorter of the two muscles responsible for rotating the foot down and out

Tibialis posterior

Muscle that helps the foot flex inward

Muscle that controls the little toe

Pedicure

Cosmetic care of the toenails and feet

Nail rasp

Metal tool that has a grooved Edge; this tool is typically used for pedicures to smooth and file the free Edge

Wooden pusher

Used to gently remove cuticle tissue away from the nail plate and clean under the free Edge; made from Orange Wood Rosewood or other Hardwoods; disposable alternatives for pushing back cuticles

Digital nerve

Nerves located in the fingers and toes

Median nerve

Smallest of the three arm and hand nerves; Runs along the mid forearm and extends into the hands

Radial nerve

Nerve that runs along the thumb side of the arm and the back of the hand

Nerve that runs along the little finger side of the arm and the palm of the hand

Radial artery

Supplies blood to the thumb side of the arm in the back of the hand

Ulnar artery

Supplies blood to the little finger side of the arm in the palm of the hand

Monomer

Liquid that mixes with acrylic powder and binds the acrylic polymers to form a nail enhancement

Methyl methacrylateb (MMA)

Type of monomer that is a colorless, volatile, flammable liquid compound. MMA polymerizes readily and is used especially as a monomer for acrylic resin. It has a small molecule size and can penetrate body tissue or skin and possibly cause an allergic reaction.

Polymer

A concentrate or Powder made up of acrylic powder that when mixed with a monomer forms and male enhancement

Initiators

Substances that begin the process that starts the chain reaction leading to a very long polymer chain being created

Inhibition layer

The tacky film-like layer that forms on top of the nail enhancement

Polymerization

The chemical reaction also known as curing or hardening that creates polymers

Fabric wraps

Very thin and tightly woven materials such as linen, silk, or fiberglass that are used to strengthen the natural nail or are applied over nail tips

Cyanoacrylates

Specialized acrylic monomer that quickly polymerize with the addition of alcohol, water, or any week alkaline product to form an adhesive

Position stop

Edge of the well that bumps up against the free edge of the natural nail

Stress area

Edge of the nail tip below the contact area that has the most vulnerable area, accepting everyday wear and tear

Primer

Liquid solution, containing methacrylic acid that is applied sparingly to the natural nail plate prior to acrylic product application to assist in adhesion of the enhancement

Overlay
