Acrylic CH 28
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Polymer Powder | Formed by combining many small molecules (monomers) into very long, chain-like structures. |
| MMA | Monomer liquid not recommended for use on nails and is not legal, also used to make bulletproof windows and shatterproof eyeglasses. |
| 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 |
| Acid-free and nonacid | Primers were developed because acid-based nail primer is corrosive to the skin and potentially dangerous to the eyes |
| Coarse grit | abrasives that are strong enough to thin enhancement product |
| 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 |
