NAIL TECHNICIAN STUDYS 2027 ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Cyanoacrylates - ✔✔a highly adhesive chemical that needs a catalyst to become
solid.
✔✔Cyanosis - ✔✔deoxygenated or otherwise defective hemoglobin in blood vessels is
a darker red than normal. This gives a blue pallor to fingers and toes.
✔✔Cysts - ✔✔abnormal sacs that have a distinct wall or membrane separating them
from their surroundings. They contain gaseous, fluid, or semi-solid substances.
✔✔Dermal papillae - ✔✔extensions of the dermis that let blood vessels and nerve
endings get closer to the surface of the skin.
✔✔Dermis - ✔✔the layer of skin below the epidermis that contains the skin cells and
most of the accessory structures that make up most of the integumentary system.
✔✔Diamond bits - ✔✔nail file bits made from tiny particles of synthetic diamonds.
✔✔Direct current - ✔✔a constant electrical current that flows evenly along a conductor
and moves in one direction only.
✔✔Dry nail polish: - ✔✔used along with a buffer to add sheen to the nails.
✔✔Dyschromias - ✔✔an abnormality in skin color.
✔✔Eccrine glands: - ✔✔the most common sudoriferous (sweat) glands, located in
almost all skin.
✔✔Eggshell nails: - ✔✔weak, fragile nails that are thinner and much more flexible than
normal nails.
, ✔✔Effleurage - ✔✔light stroking without pressure; using your hands to glide smoothly
over a client's skin to generate friction, heat, and stimulate nerves and blood vessels.
✔✔Embellishments - ✔✔materials such as crystals, gems, or beads added to nail art.
✔✔Emery board - ✔✔a disposable instrument with a rough side and a smooth side that
can be used to file or buff the nails.
✔✔Emulsifier - ✔✔creates a chemical bond or binding property to two substances in an
emulsion so that they do not separate easily.
✔✔Emulsion - ✔✔an unstable physical mixture of two or more substances (ingredients)
that do not blend easily and do not stay blended without adding a special ingredient
called an emulsifier.
✔✔Endothermic reaction - ✔✔the nail product absorbs heat from the product or
surrounding sources (such as body heat from the client, which is rarely noticeable).
✔✔Epidermis - ✔✔the outer layer of the skin; its primary purpose is to protect the body
from dehydration and infection.
✔✔Eponychium: - ✔✔the thick layer of skin around the nails.
✔✔Equipment - ✔✔permanent tools, such as the manicure table or adjustable lamp.
✔✔Ergonomics - ✔✔the study of how efficient people are in their working environment
✔✔Excoriations - ✔✔shallow or deep injuries to skin such as scratches, abrasions, or
burns.
✔✔Exothermic reaction - ✔✔an outside heat source is added to polymerize or harden a
product.
✔✔Ferrule - ✔✔metal band that holds brush bristles in place.
✔✔Fiberglass wraps - ✔✔fabric nail wraps that are more loosely woven and weaker
than both silk and linen wraps but are easier to apply.
✔✔File prepping - ✔✔the process of removing sharp edges from new files.
✔✔Finger bowl - ✔✔used to soak the fingers in soapy water or hot oil in order to loosen
the cuticles and help clean the nails.
✔✔Fissures - ✔✔cracks in the skin that can be caused by diseases or injuries.
