Chalky white

When a nail tech files a damaged section of monomer liquid and polymer powder enhancement and refills it with the appropriate products it is called a (backfill or re-balance or maintenance service or crack repair)

Crack repair

The special container used to hold the monomer liquid and polymer powder as you work is called a (Finger bowl or disposable dish or liquid vial or dappen dish)

Dappen dish

To perform a two color monomer liquid and polymer powder nail enhancement with forms you will need nail dehydrator nail forms enhancement product primer abrasives brushes and ( cuticle nippers or dappen dishes or overlay products or nail polish)

Dappen dishes

Nail ( moisturizers or dehydrators or creams or dryers) remove surface moisture and tiny amounts of oil left on the natural nail plate

Dehydrators

MMA Is a widely used monomer With a long history of safe use in medical and ( Dental or implant or Prosthesis or hearing aid) products

Dental

MMA (softens easily or dissolves quickly or does not dissolve well or requires additional chemicals) in product remover's

Does not dissolve well

Ethel methacrylate monomer liquid is commonly referred to as ( EMA or EML or EMM or EMML)

EMA

Which of the following is not one of the three versions of monomer liquid used in the nail industry ( Odorless monomer liquid or Ethyl methacrylate or Ethyl acrylic or mythical methacrylate)

Ethyl acrylic

The amount of monomer liquid and polymer powder used to create a bead is called the ( mid-ratio or mix speed or bead equation or mix ratio)

Mix ratio

Nail forms generally are not made of ( Mylar or fiberglass or paper or aluminum)

Fiberglass

A medium grit abrasive is not recommended for(Initial shaping of the nail or refining the overall surface shape of the nail or Smoothing the surface before buffing or finish filing of the nail)

Finish filing of the nail

A dry mix ratio creates a bead that looks (frosted or runny or glossy or dark) on the brush

Frosted

Odorless products harden more slowly and create a tacky layer called the ( dehydrator Layer or obstruction Layer or inhibition Layer or assistance Layer)

Inhibition layer

MMA creates the hardest and (most flexible or most rigid or smoothest or most desirable) nail enhancements

Most rigid

Compared to acne treatments nail powders contain ( The same percentage of benzoyl Peroxide or More benzoyl Peroxide or less benzoyl peroxide or no benzoyl peroxide)

Less benzoyl peroxide

The Initiators found in polymer powder, When activated by a catalyst will spring into action and cause monomer Molecules to permanently link together into ( Short polymer chains or long polymer chains or a single monomer or polymerized molecules)

Long polymer chains

After the application of the two color monomer and polymer enhancement it is recommended that you file the underside of the nail extensions and then glide the abrasive over the nail with ( long sweeping strokes or short brisk strokes Or a dotting movement or small circular strokes)

Long sweeping strokes

The poly in polymer means ( One or units or many or few)

Many

It is recommended that you mix 1 1/2 parts monomer liquid with 1 part polymer powder to create a ( medium or wet or dry or damp) bead

Medium

in general ( wet or dry or medium or heavy) beads are the ideal mix ratio for working with monomer liquids and polymer powders

Medium

When performing a one color monomer and polymer enhancement application it is recommended that the first bead of monomer and polymer applied to the nail be ( dry or wet or medium to dry or medium to wet)

Medium to dry

After applying the first bead of product during a monomer and polymer enhancement application you should use the ( middle portion or base or tip or handle) of your brush to press and smooth the product

Middle portion

When performing a one color monomer and polymer nail enhancement application it is recommended that you apply ( nail primer or nail oil or nail dehydrator or cuticle remover) after using a pusher to push back the eponychium and filing to remove the shine

Nail dehydrator

Which of the following do you need to perform a crack repair on a monomer and polymer enhancement but not to perform a standard monomer and polymer maintenance service ( nail forms or monomer liquid or nail primer or application brushes)

Nail forms

Nail dehydrator should be applied liberally to the ( nail plate or nail bed or eponychium or free edge) only

Nail plate

When performing a monomer and polymer crack repair you must apply ( a dry bead of product or a medium bead of product or nail primer to the entire natural nail and existing enhancement or nail primer to any exposed natural nail in the crack) after applying nail dehydrator

Nail primer to any exposed natural nail in the crack

Methyl methacrylate MMA Is not recommended for use on nails and is ( Not sold or not available or Extremely expensive or not legal )in some states

Not legal

Which type of nail form can be disinfected ( plastic or paper or silk or fiberglass)

Plastic

Polymer powder is made using a special chemical reaction called( Plasticization or crystallization or excoriation or polymerization)

Polymerization

Unused monomer that has been removed from the original container should be ( poured back into the original container for use with another client or poured down the drain with the hot water running or poured into an absorbent paper towel and placed in a plastic bag or poured down the drain with the cold water running)

Poured into an absorbent paper towel and placed in a plastic bag

Nail ( dehydrator or base or polish or primer) is used on the natural nail prior to product application to assist in adhesion

Primer

Some manufacturers make a ( resin or hydrator or adhesive or dissolver) that brushes on to cure the tacky inhibition Layer that must be applied immediately after creating the odorless product enhancement

Resin

The best nail brush to use with monomer liquid and polymer powder enhancement products is composed of natural kolinsky ( sable or mink or bristle or angora) or a blend of both

Sable

MMA nail products do not adhere well to the nail plate requiring the nail technician to ( Shred or etch or Smooth or shine or file or buff or Polish or shine) the surface of the nail

Shred or etch

When performing a one color monomer and polymer enhancement maintenance service what should you do if there is excess loose nail enhancement product and lifting ( use a nipper to clip it away or use scissors to clip it away or soak off the enhancement and start fresh with a new application or apply a strengthening layer of product over the existing enhancement)

Soak off the enhancement and start fresh with a new application

A catalyst is an additive designed to ( Slow down or neutralize or speed up or stabilize) Chemical reactions

Speed up

When acid free primer dries on the nail it will be ( sticky and dull or sticky or sticky and shiny or smooth and dull or smooth and shiny)

Sticky and shiny

The area where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge is known as ( sidewall or arch or apex or stress area)

Stress area

The length of the nail extensions and enhancements should be the same on ( all five fingers or the index,middle,and ring fingers or the index and ring fingers or the thumb,middle finger and pinky)

The index middle and ring fingers

When performing a two color monomer and polymer nail enhancement use the tip of the brush to push ( the product or the smile line or the frown line or the lunula) into place and wipe the edge until a crisp rounded line is achieved

The smile line

When performing a two color monomer and polymer enhancement application the application must be ( rough or flat or thick or thin) at the cuticle line
