The ingredients used in UV gels are from a subfamily of acrylics called

acrylates

Recently developed UV gels technologies utilize chemistry from

methacrylates

A short chain of monomers not long enough to be considered a polymer is a(n)

oligomer

Newer UV gels systems use chemicals called

urethane methacrylates

An advantage of UV gel systems is

low odor

The UV gel application process differs from other types of nail enhancements; with a UV gel procedure

each layer of product must cure or harden with exposure to UV light

UV gel products are usual packages in opaque pots or

squeeze tubes

wattage

Brushes used in the application of UV gels are

synthetic

To improve the shelf life of nail adhesives, store them at room temperature between

60 degree F and 85 degree F

Nail tips applied with a UV gel procedure should be shortened and filed prior to the gel application to prevent

the gel seal from being broken during the filing procedure

The time required to cure each layer of a UV gel product is determined by

manufacturer's instructions

UV gels cure with a tacky surface called a(n)

inhibition layer

The final layer of UV gel should be brushed under the free edge of the natural nail enhancement to create a(n)

seal

base coat gel

To reduce client skin irritation and sensitivity when applying the base coat gel

leave a tiny free margin between the UV gel and the skin

commission

A compensation structure that is used to motivate and increase practitioner productivity is

salary plus commission

tips

Employer and coworker feedback on technical abilities, career direction, and growth should be provided during a(n)

employee evaluation
