Study Notes
Nail Resin Systems Overview
- Nail resin systems enhance nail strength and structure, often comprising resin and polymer powders.
- Building resin has a thicker viscosity for creating strong enhancements.
Types of Nail Enhancements
- Dip powder is a fine polymer powder, typically heavily pigmented for added color.
- A dip system combines resin and dip powder, allowing the resin to absorb the powder for a durable coating.
- Fabric wraps are made from silk, linen, or fiberglass to reinforce nails.
- Fiberglass wraps utilize a thin synthetic mesh, offering flexibility and strength.
Maintenance and Services
- Filling or backfilling is the process of applying enhancement product on new nail growth.
- Maintenance is necessary two or more weeks post-initial application to ensure nails remain in good condition.
Specific Terms and Materials
- Nail wraps secure a layer of fabric or paper to strengthen nails.
- Rebalance refers to techniques used to enhance nail durability, typically through layering.
- Resin accelerators quicken the drying time of the resin and are known as activators.
Structural Elements
- The stress line is where the nail's free edge meets the nail bed, indicating a critical structural point.
- Stress strips are short, 1/8-inch fabric pieces placed across the stress line for additional support.
Properties of Resins
- Nail resins are composed of cyanoacrylate, known for its strong bonding properties.
- Viscosity describes the thickness of resin liquids, essential for application consistency.
