COSMETOLOGY 14E CHAPTER 24 Quiz Game

A nail cleanser is used __________.

• after applying primer on the nail
• to add an inhibition layer to the nail before filing the cured gel in order to increase the gel's durability
• to remove surface moisture and tiny amounts of oil left on the natural nail plate that can impair a gel's adhesion
• as a top coat or when color is not desired

Which of the following should be kept in mind when removing gels from nails?

• Hard gels can be removed with acetone or product remover.
• Hard gels must be filed off using an electric or hand file.
• When removing soft or soak-off gels, the nails should not be soaked in acetone or product remover.
• When removing soak soft or soak-off gels, the nails should not be wrapped with cotton and foil.

A way to control the heat spike when using a light-cured gel on the nail is to __________.

• start with a thick application over the natural nail and cure
• apply and cure multiple large, instead of small, beads of gel
• remove the hand from the light for 5 to 10 seconds if the client feels the increase in heat
• generate less heat by avoiding exposing the gel directly to the source of light

Identify a characteristic of LED bulbs.

• Usually, an LED bulb lasts about 10 years.
• Cure times of light-cured gels with an LED lamp usually range from one to two minutes for each gel layer.
• LED bulbs used to cure light-cured gels produce wavelengths of optical light from about 150 to 180 nanometers (nm).
• LED bulbs create a light that must shine directly on a light-cured gel for it to cure.

Bonding or base gels __________.

• are often applied with a primer
• vary in viscosity
• are applied with a thick coat to the nail
• reduce adhesion to the natural nail plate

Which of the following is an accurate statement about hard gels?

• They are strong enough to build nail extensions.
• They are also known as soak-off gels.
• They have a porous surface that acetone can penetrate.
• They have a strong odor and are made with pigment.

Building gels __________.

• allow you to build an arch or extension
• are thin-viscosity gels
• reduce thickness of nail enhancements
• are also known as base gels

Identify a characteristic of soft gels.

• Soft gels cannot be easily removed with acetone.
• Most soft gels have a crystal-clear appearance.
• Most soft gels do not replace traditional polishes.
• Soft gels are formulated to overlay the natural nail.

A light-cured gel is a __________.

• nail prep product used to remove surface debris and moisture from the natural nail plate
• type of nail enhancement product that hardens when exposed to specific types of light
• very fine polymer powder that is either clear or heavily pigmented with color
• nail prep product that temporarily stops the nail from producing moisture and natural oil

Most gels use a(n) __________ oligomer, which has excellent adhesion and a lower sensitivity risk.

• urethane methacrylate
• polyester
• epoxy siloxane
• polycaprolactone
