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

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

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
