Polymerization The curing and hardening, a chemical reaction that polymer powder makes to create nail enhancement
Catalyst are additives that speeds up the chemical reaction between monomer liquid and polymer powder
Initiators starts the chain reaction and creates monomer molecules to permanently link together into long polymer chains
Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) The initiator added to the powder to start the chain reaction of curing the nail enhancement (same ingredient added to acne medicine, but in a different form)
Nail primer helps to adhere nail enhancements to the natural nail
Dappen dish a special containers used to hold monomer liquid and polymer powder that minimizes contamination and evaporation
Apex The arch of the nail bed with the most strength and is located in the center of the nail
Monomer liquid mono mean one and mer means units and it is the liquid part of the molecule
EMA monomer liquid used in the beauty industry to make acrylic.
Methacrylates The ingredients in two-part monomer liquid and polymer powder enhancement system that belongs to a branch of the acrylic family

medium grit abrasives used for initial shaping of the perimeter of the nail
fine grit abrasives used for finish filing, refining and buffing
shiner is a buffer used to create a high shine on a natural nail or nail enhancement
a cool, dark area where monomer liquid and polymer powder should be stored in a cover container
smile line the curved line where the pink and white areas meet each other on a French manicured nail
sidewall runs straight from the cuticle down the side or wall of the nail to the end of the extension
inhibition layer The tacky layer in odorless products that hardens slowly and should be filed off
3-D nail art Nail art that protrudes from the nail
inlaid designs They are created when nail art is sandwiched between two layers of product while the nail enhancements is being formed
