Artificial Nails
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Attachment to the machine that actually does the filing. | Bit |
| Balanced bits that do not wobble or vibrate. | Concentric |
| Long, slender cut or groove found on carbide and Swiss carbide bits. | Flute |
| Number of abrasive particles per square inch. | Grit |
| Number of times a bit rotates in 1 minute (RPM). | Revolutions Per Minute |
| Grooves carved into the nail caused by filing with bits at the incorrect angle. | Rings of Fire |
| Power of machine or its ability to keep turning when applying pressure during filing. | Torque |
| Thin, elongated board with a rough surface. | Abrasive Board |
| Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene | ABS |
| Lightweight, rectangular abrasive block. | Buffer Block |
| Nail wrap made of silk, linen, or fiberglass. | Fabric Wrap |
| Very thin synthetic mesh with a loose weave. | Fiberglass |
| Closely woven, heavy material used for nail wraps. | Linen |
| Artificial nail made of ABS or tenite acetate polymer that is adhered to the natural nail to add length. | Nail Tip |
| Liquid or gel-like product made from cyanoacrylate monomer, and used to secure a nail tip to the natural nail. | Nail Tip Adhesive |
| Nail-size pieces of cloth or paper that are bonded to the top of the nail plate with nail adhesive; often used to repair or strengthen natural nails or nail tips. | Nail Wrap |
| Thickened cyanoacrylate monomers. | No-Light-Gel |
| Temporary nail wrap made of very thin paper. Not nearly as strong as fabric wraps. | Paper Wrap |
| Piece of fanric cut to completely cover a crack or break in the nail during a 4-week fabric wrap maintenance procedure. | Repair Patch |
| Thin, natural material with a tight weave that becomes transparent when adhesive is applied. | Silk |
| Strip of fabric, 1/8" long, applied during a 4-week fabric wrap rebalance to repair or strengthen a weak point in a nail enhancement. | Stress Strip |
| Implement similar to a nail clipper, designed especially for use on nail tips. | Tip Cutter |
| Powder in white, clear, pink, and many other colors that will be combined with acrylic monomer liquid to form the sculptured nail. | Acrylic Polymer Powder |
| Acrylic | Methacrylate |
| Substance that speeds up chemical reactions between monomer liquid and polymer powder. | Catalyst |
| Process that joins together monomers to create very long polymer chains; also called "polymerization reaction". | Chain Reaction |
| Nail enhancement product that is slighty different from acrylic (methacrylate) products. These systems use monomers that have a very low odor. | Odorless Acrylic Product |
| Substance formed by combining many small molecules (monomers), into very long chain-like structures. | Polymer |
| Chemical reaction that creates polymers; also called curing or hardening. | Polymerization |
| Method for maintaining the beauty, durability, and longevity ofthe nail enhancement. | Rebalancing |
| Tacky surface left on the nail once a UV gel has cured. | Inhibition Layer |
| Short chain of monomers that is not long enough to be considered a polymer. | Oligomer |
| Gel is applied over the entire surface of the nail. | One-Color Method |
| Two different colors of gel are applied to the surface of the nail, in different places, as in a French manicure. | Two-Color Method |
| Main ingredient used to create UV gel nail enhancements (aka Urethane Methacrylate Oligomer). | Urethane Acrylate Oligomer |
| Type of nail enhancement product that hardens when exposed to a UV light. | UV Gel |
| Specialized electronic device that powers and controls UV lights to cure UV gel nail enhancements. | UV Lamp |
| Special bulb that emits UV light to cure UV gel nail enhancements. | UV Lightbulb |
| Measure of how much electricity a lightbulb consumes. | Wattage |
