NAIL TECHNICIAN 2027 FINALS ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Silk wraps - ✔✔fabric nail wraps that are tightly woven and lightweight, making them
adhere closely to the natural nail without wrinkling or bunching.
✔✔Small and large barrel bits - ✔✔electric file bits used to shorten the length and
shape the surface of the nail.
✔✔Solar lentigo - ✔✔benign blemishes that occur in the epidermis when the skin
expands with more pigment; also known as liver or age spots.
✔✔Solutions - ✔✔a blend of two or more stable substances. The solute will be
dissolved into the solution. The solvent is the substance that dissolves the solute and
makes the solution.
✔✔Spoon nails - ✔✔nails that are concave rather than slightly convex.
✔✔Steatoma - ✔✔a cyst or fatty tumor formed in the sebaceous gland, typically filled
with sebum.
✔✔Sterilization - ✔✔the process of destroying all microbes, including spores.
✔✔Stop, rock and hold method - ✔✔a method of applying nail tips; As you align the nail
tip with the nail at a 45-degree angle, stop by placing the free edge against the well of
the nail tip. Rock the tip on slowly while pressing down to release any air bubbles. Hold
the tip in place for 5 to 10 seconds while the adhesive dries.
✔✔Strata - ✔✔the four to five sublayers of the epidermis.
✔✔Stratum corneum - ✔✔the outermost layer of the epidermis that is composed of
flattened dead skin cells and protects the body from dehydration and infection.
, ✔✔Stratum germinativum - ✔✔also known as the basal cell layer, this is the innermost
layer of the epidermis that is responsible for producing new skin cells.
✔✔Stratum granulosum - ✔✔also known as the granular layer, this layer of the
epidermis is where cells go through the process of cornification.
✔✔Stratum lucidum - ✔✔the layer of the epidermis that is usually found on the soles of
feet and palms of hands.
✔✔Stratum spinosum - ✔✔the spinous layer of the epidermis in which cells begin
synthesizing keratin.
✔✔Stylus - ✔✔a tool with a rounded ball tip that can be used in many art creations,
such as marbleizing, applying dots of color, etc.
✔✔Styptic - ✔✔a substance that contracts tissue to seal injured blood vessels and stop
bleeding.
✔✔Subcutaneous fascia - ✔✔the innermost layer of skin below the dermis, mainly
composed of an outer layer of fatty tissue and elastic connective tissue.
✔✔Sudoriferous glands - ✔✔sweat glands that look like coiled tubes within the dermis
and open up into the skin.
✔✔Surfactants - ✔✔substances used to bridge ingredients and allow them to mix or
emulsify and form emulsions.
✔✔Suspensions - ✔✔mixtures that contain undissolved particles floating in the liquid.
✔✔Swiss carbide - ✔✔electronic nail file bits made from a higher quality metal and that
usually have rounded edges.
✔✔Tapered barrel bits - ✔✔electric file bits that are cone-shaped with a flat top and
used to prep the cuticle area product for a fill, shape the top surface of the nail, or cut
maintenance on small nails at a flat angle.
✔✔Flutes - ✔✔grooves in electronic nail file bits.
✔✔Leukonychia - ✔✔white spots often found inside the nail plate, typically caused by
injury.
✔✔ Acrylic nails - ✔✔nail enhancements in which acrylic is applied to the top of nails.
✔✔Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS - ✔✔a durable polymer used to make nail tips.
