UV Gels (Nail Enhancements)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| UV gel enhancements rely on ingredients from the monomer liquid and polymer powder chemical family. | True |
| Oligomers are solids. | False |
| The measurement of the thickness or thinness of a liquid is called opacity. | False |
| If a client repeatedly returns to the salon with broken enhancements, you should try a gel that uses fiberglass. | True |
| Wattage indicates how much UV light a UV light unit will emit. | False |
| The presence of soap in most disinfectants can cause them to become inactive. | True |
| Wrap resins are called: | cyanoacrylates |
| A short chain of monomers that is not long enough to be considered a polymer is a(n): | oligomer |
| Traditionally, UV gels relied on urethane acrylate; newer gel systems use: | urethane methacrylates |
| It takes the combination of resin, photoinitiator, and which of the following to cause the gel to cure: | proper curing lamp |
| Clients who wish to wear colored polish over nail enhancements should use the: | one-color method |
| Which gel is used to enhance thickness of the overlay while providing a smoother surface? | UV self-leveling gel |
| Which of the following is used as an alternative to traditional nail lacquer? | UV gel polish |
| UV gels cure with a tacky surface called a(n): | inhibition layer |
| The amount of colored pigment concentration in a gel is called: | opacity |
| Brushes that are used to hold and spread the UV gel are: | synthetic |
| For natural nail preparation, select a medium abrasive file with: | 180-grit |
| A UV lamp used to cure UV gels should be: | 4-watt c. 8-watt b. 7-watt d. All of these answers are correct. |
| A measure of how much electricity a UV bulb consumes is: | unit wattage |
| UV gel products are packaged in small, opaque pots or squeeze bottles for: | protection from UV exposure |
| Depending on the usage, a typical UV light bulb should be changed: | two to three times per year |
| UV gel polish is a relatively new system that evolved in the year: | 2000 |
| Soft UV gels are also known as: | soakable gels |
| The second UV gel layer applied is called the: | building UV gel |
| When contouring a UV gel nail enhancement, bevel down, stroking the file at a 45-degree angle from: | top center dome to free edge |
| After the filing procedure, remove dust and filings with a clean and disinfected: | nylon brush |
| The sealer or finisher layer of a UV gel product covers the entire nail surface and is wrapped under the natural free edge to: | prevent lifting |
| Caution should be used when filing gel nails because they are: | soft |
| Used to enhance thickness of the overlay while providing a smoother surface | UV self-leveling gel |
| Used to increase adhesion to the natural nail plate, similar to a monomer liquid and polymer powder primer | UV bonding gel |
| Specialized electronic device that powers and controls UV lamps to cure UV gel nail enhancements | UV light unit |
| Gel that cannot be removed with a solvent | Traditional UV gel |
| Type of nail enhancement product that hardens when exposed to UV light | UV gel |
| Initiates the polymerization reaction | Photoinitator |
