| Acrylic nail enhancements are created by combing monomer liquid with | polymer powder |
| Nail enhancements sculptured with the use of polymer powder are called | acrylic nails |
| Brushes recommended for the application of acrylic product are | natural hair |
| When applying product, the brush is immersed into monomer and the tip of the brush is | touched to the surface of the dry polymer powder |
| As monomer liquid absorbs a polymer powder, the product formed at the tip of the brush is referred to as a | bead of product |
| Polymer powder is made using a special chemical reaction called | polymerization |
| In the process of creating acrylic nails, trillions of monomer are linked together to create | long chains |
| Additives are responsible for the product durability and color stability of the product, and they ensure | complete cure or set |
| Additives used to control the set or curing time in monomer liquids are called | catalysts and initators |
| Initiators in polymer powder cause monomer molecules to permanently link together and form | long polymer chains |
| The initiator added to polymer powder is | benzoyl peroxide |
| To ensure the proper curing when using nail enhancement products | do not mix manufacturer product lines |
| Acrylic overlays and nail enhancements can be created using one color powder if the client wears | nail polish all the time |
| The amount of monomer liquid and polymer powder used to create a bead is called the | mix ratio |
| If the consistency of a bead contains too little powder, the enhancement may not | cure correctly |
| Surface moisture and oil on the natural nail plate can be removed with nail antiseptic or | nail dehydrators |
| The use of acid-based nail primers may result in | skin burns or injury |
| Acrylic nail enhancements reach their ultimate strength in | 24 to 48 hours |
| Nail adhesives used to secure nail tips to natural nails are all based on | cyanoacrylate monomers |
| To prevent product contamination, a dappen dish should have | a tightly fitted lid |
| The shelf life of nail adhesives can be as short as | 6 months |
| Unused monomer poured back into the original container will cause product | contamination |
| The type of glove recommended for nail salon services is | nitrile polymer |
| The area that should not be cut when applying multiuse nail forms is the | hyponychium |
| The bead of product for shaping the free edge should have a | medium consistency |
| The time required for a product to properly clean brushes is determined by | the manufacturer's directions |
| When placing the second ball of acrylic on the free edge, use a medium consistency and place on the nail plate below the first bead and | next to the free edge line in the center of the nail |
| For natural looking nails, the product application must be smooth and thin at the | side walls, free edge, and eponychium |
| In rebalancing acrylic enhancements, the nail is thinned down and reduced in thickness and | the apex of the nail will be removed |
| The area between the existing acrylic product and new growth of the nail plate is the | ledge |
