Study Notes
Artificial Nails Key Concepts
- A dehydrant is essential for removing moisture and preventing bacterial growth.
- High viscosity gel is specifically used for sculpting nails.
- After applying primer during a sculpted nail service, it is crucial to avoid touching the nail.
- Acrylic brushes are made from natural hair, ensuring optimal application.
- An overlay of fabric with resin in artificial nails is referred to as nail wraps.
- Acrylic monomer is also known as acrylic liquid.
- Proper nail preparation is vital to avoid lifting of the artificial nail.
- Artificial nail removers commonly contain acetone for effective removal.
Application and Maintenance
- Artificial nails require a fill every 10-14 days to maintain their appearance.
- Catalysts in liquid monomer speed up chemical reactions during application.
- A waterless manicure is performed during artificial nail preparation to ensure cleanliness.
- Gels are predominantly composed of oligomers, which provide structure and flexibility.
- A nail tip should cover half of the nail plate for proper adhesion.
- Methacrylic acid is found in nail primers, aiding adhesion.
Product and Material Knowledge
- Polymers are integrated into artificial nail products to add color.
- Re-balancing during a fill-in service involves blending old product with new growth.
- Natural hair is used for brushes in artificial nail services for best results.
- Acetone stands out as the most widely used solvent in the nail industry.
- There are two main types of artificial nail systems: acrylic and gel.
- Sculptured nails require forming products to shape the nail accurately.
Adhesives and Curing
- Adhesive products are necessary for nail tips to stick to the nail plate.
- Gels must be exposed to light to commence the curing process, solidifying their structure.
- A file with a grit of 80-120 is ideal for removing excess artificial nail product.
Tips for Successful Application
- When applying acrylic overlays, consider the nail divided into three zones for precision.
- Primer is always applied after the tips during an acrylic overlay procedure.
- A thorough consultation is performed at the start of the nail service to analyze hands and nails.
- Long strokes with light pressure are recommended when filing nail enhancements.
Best Practices and Considerations
- Use a nail tip that fits correctly; a size that's too small may create fine cracks.
- Filing should be done gently, with careful attention to the length of strokes used.
- Dehydrating products should be applied to the nail before applying forms, enhancing adhesion.
- Two-color acrylic applications require the white acrylic to be placed strategically, usually in Zone 1.
