Nail Tips & Wraps CH. 27 flashcards

Term
A nail tip is a plastic, pre-molded nail shaped from a tough polymer made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic.
The shallow depression area of a nail tip is the well that serves as the point of contact with the nail plate.
When securing the tip to the natural nail plate, it is recommended that you use the stop, rock, and hold.
When blending a nail tip at the contact area, the fine- to medium-grit file, or buffing block file should be kept flat to the nail as you blend the tip.
The strongest wrap fabric is considered to be linen.
The product that acts as the dryer that speeds up the hardening process of the wrap resin or adhesive overlay is an activator.
A substance used to remove surface moisture and tiny amounts of oil left on the natural nail plate is a nail dehydrator.
Nail adhesives usually come in either a tube with a pointed applicator tip, a one-drop applicator, or as a brush-on.
Maintenance is the term used for when a nail enhancement needs to be serviced after two or more weeks from the initial application of the nail enhancement product.
The structural correction of the nail during a nail wrap maintenance services to ensure its strength, shape, and durability is known as a rebalance.
To remove fabric wraps, you first soak them in acetone and then gently and carefully slide them off with a wooden pusher.
A layer of any kind of nail enhancement product that is applied over the natural nail and tip application for added strength is known as an overlay.
The point where the free edge of the natural nail meets the tip and where the tip is adhered to the nail is called the position stop.
A strip of fabric cut to 1/8 inch (3.12 mm) in length and applied to strengthen a weak point in the nail is called a stress strip.
A piece of fabric cut to completely cover a crack or break in the nail is a repair patch.
To avoid damaging nail wraps when removing existing polish, use a non-acetone remover.
An implement similar to a nail clipper, designed for use on nail tips, is a tip cutter.
Fabric wraps are the most popular type of nail wrap because of their durability.
Gel adhesives are sometimes referred to as resin.
Fiberglass wraps are made from a very thin synthetic mesh with a loose weave.
Silk wraps are made from thin natural material with a tight weave that becomes transparent when wrap resin is applied.
Paper wraps are quite simple to use, but do not have the strength and durability of fabric wraps.
Linen wraps are made from a closely woven, heavy material.
The nipping it off wrap removal may lead to damage of the nail plate by pulling off layers of the natural nail and can break the seal of the remainder of the enhancement.
Nail tips that are pre-beveled require much less filing on the natural nail after application.
