What is one color method
200
special bulb that emits UV radiation UV radiation to cure UV gel nail enhancement
What is UV bulb
300
the photoinitiator found in gels cause the gel to cure when directly exposed to:
What is UV
300
thinner in consistency than building gels, allowing them to settle and level during application
What is self-leveling gels

500
used to increase adhesion to the natural nail plate, similar to a monomer liquid and polymer powder primer
What is bonding gels
500
clear plastic forms are sometimes used to allow UV and LED radiation to penetrate from the underside for more complete curing of the free edge
What is nail forms
500
tacky surface left on the nail after a uv or led gel has cured
What is inhibition layer
