ACRYLIC (METHACRYLATE) MONOMER LIQUID
|
The liquid that will be combined with acrylic (methacrylate) polymer powder to form the sculptured nail.
|
|
ACRYLIC (METHACRYLATE) NAIL ENHANCEMENTS
|
Created by combining acrylic (methacrylate) monomer liquid with polymer powder.
|
|
ACRYLIC (METHACRYLATE) POLYMER POWDER
|
Powder in white, clear, pink, and many other colors that will be combined with acrylic (methacrylate) monomer liquid to form the sculptured nail.
|
|
CATALYST
|
Substance that speeds up chemical reactions between monomer liquid and polymer powder.
|
|
CHAIN REACTION
|
Process that joins monomers to create very long polymer chains; also called "polymerization reaction".
|
|
DAPPEN DISH
|
A special container used to hold the monomer liquid and polymer powder.
|
|
DUST MASKS AND PROTECTIVE GLOVES
|
Designed to be worn over the nose and mouth to prevent inhalation of excessive amounts of dust.
|
|
INITIATORS
|
Energized and activated by catalyst; initiators start the chain reaction.
|
|
MIX RATIO
|
The amount of monomer liquid and polymer powder used to create a bead.
|
|
NAIL DEHYDRATOR
|
Substance used to remove surface moisture and tiny amounts of oil left on the natural nail plate, both of which can block adhesion.
|
|
NAIL FORMS
|
Often made of paper/mylar coated with adhesive backs, or pre-shaped plastic or aluminum; placed under the free edge and used to extend the nail enhancements beyond the fingertip for additional length.
|
|
NAIL PRIMER
|
Used to enhance the adhesion of enhancements to the natural nail.
|
|
ODORLESS ACRYLIC (METHACRYLATE) PRODUCTS
|
Nail enhancement products that are slightly different from acrylic (methacrylate) products, and are considered "no odor" or "low odor".
|
|
POLYMER
|
Substance formed by combining many small molecules (monomers) into very long chain-like structures.
|
|
POLYMERIZATION
|
Chemical reaction that creates polymers; also called curing or hardening.
|
|
REBALANCING
|
Method for maintaining the beauty, durability, and longevity of the nail enhancement.
|
|
SAFETY EYEWEAR
|
Used to protect eyes from flying objects or accidental splashes.
