Study Notes
Artificial Nail Services Overview
- Dehydrants prevent the growth of bacteria by removing moisture.
- High-viscosity gels are primarily used for sculpting nails.
- After primer application, avoid touching the nail to ensure proper adherence.
Tools and Materials
- Acrylic brushes are typically made from natural hair for better handling.
- Artificial nail wraps use fabric overlays combined with resin for added strength.
- The liquid used to create acrylic nails is called monomer.
Nail Maintenance and Preparation
- Proper artificial nail preparation is crucial to prevent lifting.
- Acetone is a common ingredient in artificial nail product removers.
- Artificial nails ideally require filling every 10-14 days to maintain appearance.
Chemical Components
- Catalysts found in liquid monomer enhance chemical reactions for faster curing.
- Gels are largely composed of oligomers, contributing to their texture and performance.
- Primers often contain methacrylic acid to improve adhesion.
Nail Application Techniques
- Nail tips should cover approximately half of the nail plate for a secure fit.
- The two core methods for applying artificial nails are overlays and sculptured techniques.
- Sculptured nails utilize forms during the application process to shape the product correctly.
Adhesion and Curing
- A nail tip adheres to the natural nail plate with the help of adhesives.
- Gels require exposure to light to initiate the curing process, critical for durability.
Nail Files and Tools
- Grit sizes 80-120 on nail files are recommended for removing excess artificial nail product.
- Three zones should be considered when applying acrylic overlays for even application.
Potential Issues with Artificial Nails
- Trapped moisture between artificial and natural nails may lead to bacterial infections.
- The powder used for forming acrylic nails is polymer, while the liquid component is monomer.
Decorative Techniques and Maintenance
- Two-color acrylic applications necessitate maintenance every four weeks for optimal results.
- The largest nail tip size available is size 1, used for wider nail beds.
Summary of Nail Systems
- The two main artificial nail systems utilized in the industry are acrylic and gels.
- Artificial nails can be enhanced with various techniques, including nail wraps and sculpting practices.
