Ch. 28 Vocab.

Monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancements

TermDefinition
3D nail art Any art that protrudes from the nail
Apex (Arch) area of the nail that has all of the strength
Chain reaction (Polymerization reaction) process that joins together monomers to create very long polymer chains
Dappen dish Special container that holds monomer liquid and polymer powder
Grit Refers to how many grains of sand are on the file per square inch
Initiators Found in polymer powder that causes monomer molecules to permanently link together into long polymer chains when activated by a catalyst
Inlaid designs Designs inside a nail enhancement
Mix ratio Amount of monomer liquid and polymer powder used to create a bead
Monomer One unit called a molecule
Monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancements Enhancements created by combining monomer liquid and polymer powder
Nail forms Used as a guide to extend the nail enhancements beyond the fingertip for additional length
Nail primer Used on the natural nail prior to product application to assist in adhesion and to chemically bond the enhancement product to the natural nail
Odorless monomer liquid and polymer powder products Nail enhancement products that have little odor and must be used with a dry mix ratio
Polymer Substance formed by combining many small molecules or monomers into very long, chain-like structures
Polymerization (Curing/hardening) chemical reaction that creates polymers
Polymer powder Powder in white, clear, pink, and many other colors that is combined with monomer liquid to form the nail enhancement
Shiner Multi-sided buffer (400/1000/4000 grit) used to create a high shine on a natural nail or a nail enhancement when no polish will be worn
Sidewall Line of the nail enhancement that runs straight from the cuticle down the side or wall of the nail to the end of the extension
Smile line The curved line where the pink and white meet each other on a French manicure
Stress area Part of the nail enhancement where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge that requires strength to support the nail extension
