Nail Structure
It takes this long for fingernail plates to be fully replaced
4-6 months
AKA athlete's foot, this is a fungal infection of the feet
Tinea Pedis
There are this many ways to create a nail extension
2
This shape of nail brush is most often used for monomer liquids
Oval
This should be used before a primer to remove surface moisture
Nail cleanser
What is the water content of a healthy nail?
15-25%
This shows signs of depressions running across the width of the nail plate
Beau's lines
These are pre-molded nails shaped from a tough plastic made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
Nail tips
Methyl methacrylate (MMA)
When applying a bead of gel, you should start here
Cuticle
Name a characteristic of a normal, healthy nail.
Firm, Flexible
This shows symptoms of the nail turning colors from surface staining or poor blood circulation
Discolored nails

Explain the relationship between water content and the nail
The lower the water content, the more rigid the nail
This is when the nail plate and nail bed separate due to injury or allergic reactions
Onycholysis
Nail resins are made from this
This is added to monomer liquid and used to control the set or curing time
Catalyst(s)
This is the chemical process that releases heat during the curing process of gels
Exothermic reaction
