|---|---|
| Manicure | Cosmetic service for care of the hands, which includes skin and nail care, cosmetic treatments and procedures, polishing techniques and artificial nail applications |
| Onyx | Technical term for nails |
| Nail plate | Translucent portion of the nail, extending from nail root to free edge; sometimes referred to as nail body |
| Free edge | Part of the nail plate that extends beyond finger tip |
| Hyponychium | Skin between free edge and fingertip of natural nail |
| Nail bed | Portion of the skin that nail plate rests upon as it grows out |
| Bed Epithelium | Thin layer of skin cells between the nail bed and nail plate |
| Cuticle | The small portion of non-living epidermis extending around the base of nail |
| Lunula | Whitish, half-moon shape at the base of the nail |
| Matrix | Part of the nail bed that extends below the nail root and helps to produce the nail plate |
| Nail folds | Folds of normal skin that surround the natural nail plate |
| Nail sidewall | Also known as lateral nail fold, is the piece of skin that overlaps onto side of the nail |
| Nail grooves | Slits or grooves on the sides of the nail that allow growth |
| Eponychium | Living skin at the base of the nail plate that partially overlaps lunula |
| Perionychium | Additional or excessive skin that overlaps onto sides of the nail plate |
| Agnail | Also known as hangnail, is the split cuticle around the nail |
| Bruised nail | Dark purplish discoloration under the nail caused by trauma |
| Eggshell nail | Noticeably thin, white nail plate that is more flexible than normal |
| Leukonychia | Also known as white spots, whitish discoloration of the nails caused by injury |
| Melanonychia | Darkening of the nails caused by excess melanin, may be in a band or stripe |
| Nail psoriasis | Non-infectious condition that affects the surface of the natural hair; nail will appear pitted and/or roughness on the surface |
| Nail pterygium | Forward growth of the living skin that adheres to the surface of the nail plate |
| Onychocryptosis | Ingrown nail |
| Onycophagy | Bitten nails |
| Onychorrhexis | Abnormal brittleness of the nail plate |
| Ridge | Also known as Furrow or Corrugation, is a vertical or horizontal indentation running the length or width of the nail plate |
| Onychosis | General term for any nail disease or deformity |
| Onychomycosis | Also known as Tinea Unguium, a fungal infection of the nail |
| Tinea Pedis | Also known as Athlete's Foot, is a fungal infection that can occur on the bottom of the feet, as well as, between the toes, which can spread to the toenails |
| Onychia | Inflammation of nail matrix |
| Onycholysis | Loosening or separation, without shedding, of the nail plate from the nail bed |
| Paronychia | Bacterial inflammation of the skin surrounding the nail plate |
| Lungs | Spongy, respiratory organs responsible for inhaling and exhaling |
| Quarternary Ammonium Compounds | Also known as Quats, a standard name for disinfectants |
| Alcohol | Extremely flammable, colorless liquid that evaporates quickly |
| Sodium Hypochlorite | Commonly known as bleach |
| Phenol | Strong, high PH disinfectant |
| Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide (AHP) | Disinfectant based on a stabilized hydrogen peroxide that is non-toxic to the skin and environment; this type of disinfectant only needs to be changed every 14 days |
| Metal Pushers | Used to gently scrape the cuticle from the natural nail; they are made of stainless steel and can be disinfected and reused |
| Pedicure | Cosmetic care of the toenails and feet |
| Nail Rasp | Metal tool that had grooved edge; this tool is typically used for pedicures to smooth and file the free edge |
| Wooden Pushers | Used to gently remove cuticle tissue away from the nail plate and clean under the free edge; made from orangewood, rosewood, or other hardwoods; disposable alternatives for pushing back cuticles |
| Monomer | Liquid that mixes with acrylic powder and binds the acrylic polymers to form a nail enhancement |
| Methyl Methacrylate (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 reac |
| Polymer | A concentrate or powder made up of acrylic powder that when mixed up with a monomer forms a nail enhancement |
| Initiators | Substances that begin the process that starts the chain reaction, leading to very long polymer chains being created |
| Inhibition layer | The tacky, film-like layer that forms on the 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 ate used to strengthen the natural nail or are applied over nail tips |
| Cyanoacrylates | Specialized acrylic monomers that quickly polymerize with the addition of alcohol, water or any weak alkaline product to form an adhesive |
| Nail Wrap Resin | Used to adhere the fabric wrap to the natural nail or nail tip |
| Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) | A high-quality virgin plastic, used to manufacture nail tips |
| 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 is 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 | Any fabric wrap, UV-cured gel or acrylic/sculptured nail that is applied to enhance and/or strengthen the natural nail |
| Oligomers | Short polymer chains that consist of just a few monomers, creating a thickened resin or a 'gel-like' substance |
| Urethane Acrylate | Main ingredient used to create UV gel nail enhancements |
| Urethane Methacrylate | Main ingredient used to create UV gel nail enhancements |
| Photoinitiators | The chemical that begins the polymerization process in gel nails |
