Across
  1. 2. The curved line where the pink and white meet each other on a French manicured nail.
  2. 4. Also known as polymerization reaction; process that joins together monomers to create very long polymer chains.
  3. 6. Refers to how many grains of sand are on the file per square inch.
  4. 10. Special container that holds monomer liquid and polymer powder.
  5. 11. 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.
  6. 12. 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.
  7. 13. Substance formed by combining many small molecules (monomers) into very long, chain-like structures.
  8. 14. Enhancements created by combining monomer liquid and polymer powder.
  9. 16. A multi sided buffer (usually 400/1,000/4,000 grit) used to create a high shine on a natural nail or a nail enhancement when no polish will be worn.
  10. 19. Used as a guide to extend the nail enhancements beyond the fingertip for additional length.
  11. 21. Nail enhancement products that have little odor; must be used with a dry mix ratio (equal parts liquid and powder in bead).
  12. 22. Also known as arch; the area of the nail that has all of the strength.
Down
  1. 1. The actual underside of the nail extension.
  2. 3. Also known as curing or hardening; chemical reaction that creates polymers.
  3. 5. Powder in white, clear, pink, and many other colors that is combined with monomer liquid to form the nail enhancement.
  4. 7. Designs inside a nail enhancement.
  5. 8. Describes any art that protrudes from the nail.
  6. 9. The amount of monomer liquid and polymer powder used to create a bead.
  7. 15. 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. 17. One unit called a molecule.
  9. 18. The line of the nail enhancement that runs straight from the cuticle down the side or wall of the nail to the end of the extension.
  10. 20. Chemical liquid mixed with polymer powder to form the sculptured nail enhancement.
