| Question | Answer |
| 1.- Initiators: | Found in polymer powder, when activated by a catalyst, will spring into action and cause monomer molecules to permanently link together into long polymer chains. |
| 2.- Polymer powder: | Powder in white, clear, pink, and many other colors that is combined with monomer liquid to form the nail enhancement. |
| 3.- odorless methacrylates: (acrylic) | Nail enhancement products that are slightly different from acrylic (methacrylate) products , and are considered "no odor" or "low odor" .term. |
| 4.- Polymerization: | also known as curing or hardening ; chemical reaction that creates polymers. |
| 5.- 3-D nail art: | Describes any art that protrudes from the nail. |
| 6.- Nail forms: | Used as a guide to extend the nail enhancements beyond the fingertip for additional length. |
| 7.- nail primer: | used on the natural nail prior to product application to assist in adhesion; used to chemically bond the enhancement product to the natural nail. |
| 8.- dappen dish | Special container that holds monomer liquid and polymer powder. |
| 9.- Stress area | The part of the nail enhancement where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge. This area needs strength to support the nail extension. |
| 10.- inhibition layer | The tacky surface left on the nail after a light cured gel has cured. |
| 11.- Oligomer | short chain of monomer liquids that is often thick, sticky, and gel-like and that is not long enough to be considered a polymer. |
| 12.- opacity | The amount of colored pigment concentration in a gel, making it more or less difficult to see througt. |
| 13.- urethane acrylate | A main ingredient used to create light cured gel nail enhancements. |
| 14.- viscosity | The measurement of the thickness or thinness of a liquid and how the fluid flows. |
| 15.- Photoinitiator | a chemical that initiates the polymerization reaction. |
