    Which one of the following protects nail polish from chipping?

    • Top coat

    • Dry nail polish

    • Cuticle oil

    • Nail conditioner

    Correct Answer
    A. Top coat
    Explanation
    A top coat is a clear polish that is applied over nail polish to protect it from chipping. It forms a hard, durable layer on top of the nail polish, providing a barrier that helps to prevent it from peeling or cracking. The top coat also adds shine to the nails and helps the nail polish to last longer. By applying a top coat, the nail polish is sealed and protected, ensuring that it stays intact and chip-free for a longer period of time.

    Explanation
    A spatula should be used to remove product from a jar because it is a flat, thin tool with a broad and flexible blade. This makes it ideal for scraping the sides and bottom of the jar, ensuring that all the product is effectively removed. Fingertips may not be hygienic and could introduce bacteria into the jar. The end of a towel may not be thin or flexible enough to effectively remove product. A mail brush is not suitable for this task.

    • Removing polish

    • Buffing nails

    Correct Answer
    A. Client consultation
    Explanation
    Before beginning a client service, the first step is to have a client consultation. This is important because it allows the service provider to understand the client's needs, preferences, and any specific requirements or concerns they may have. It also helps in determining the appropriate treatment or service to be provided, ensuring that the client's expectations are met. By having a client consultation, the service provider can establish good communication and build trust with the client, resulting in a better overall experience and satisfaction.

    What should the nail technician do to remove dust after filing?

    • Gently blow on nails

    • Mist with primer

    • Wipe with monomer

    • Clean with nail brush

    Correct Answer
    A. Clean with nail brush
    Explanation
    To remove dust after filing, the nail technician should clean the nails with a nail brush. This is because a nail brush is specifically designed to effectively remove debris and dust from the nails. Blowing on the nails may not be as thorough or effective, misting with primer is not intended for dust removal, and wiping with monomer may not effectively remove all the dust particles. Therefore, using a nail brush is the most appropriate method for this task.

    • After the color polish

    • Before the color polish

    Correct Answer
    A. Before the color polish
    Explanation
    A base coat is usually applied before the color polish because it helps to protect the natural nail from staining and discoloration caused by pigments in the polish. It also provides a smooth surface for the color polish to adhere to, ensuring a longer-lasting manicure. Additionally, the base coat can help to strengthen and nourish the nails, promoting overall nail health.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cuticle nippers
    Explanation
    Cuticle nippers should be disinfected after a manicure because they come into direct contact with the cuticles and can potentially transfer bacteria or other pathogens from one client to another. Disinfecting them ensures that they are free from any harmful microorganisms and reduces the risk of infections or cross-contamination.

    • Rehydrates the skin

    • Removes wrinkles from hands

    • Lightens age spots

    Correct Answer
    A. Rehydrates the skin
    Explanation
    A paraffin wax manicure benefits a client by rehydrating the skin. Paraffin wax is known for its ability to lock in moisture, making it an effective treatment for dry and dehydrated skin. When the hands are dipped into warm paraffin wax, the heat opens up the pores, allowing the skin to absorb the wax and the moisturizing properties it contains. This helps to restore moisture to the skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.

    Lifestyle must be considered during which one of the following steps in a manicure?

    • Sanitation

    • Consultation

    • Table set up

    • Post-service record

    Correct Answer
    A. Consultation
    Explanation
    During a manicure, lifestyle must be considered during the consultation step. This is because the consultation allows the manicurist to gather information about the client's lifestyle, preferences, and any specific needs or concerns they may have. By understanding the client's lifestyle, the manicurist can make appropriate recommendations and tailor the manicure to suit the client's needs. This ensures that the client receives a manicure that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and suitable for their lifestyle.

    • Tip overlays

    • Mail extensions

    • Quick repairs on natural nails

    Correct Answer
    A. Quick repairs on natural nails
    Explanation
    A paper wrap is used for quick repairs on natural nails. When a natural nail breaks or splits, a paper wrap can be applied to provide support and reinforcement, allowing the nail to grow out without further damage. The paper wrap is typically applied with adhesive and then sealed with a layer of nail polish or gel. This technique is commonly used in nail salons to fix minor nail issues and prevent further breakage.

    • Powder

    • Cream

    • Paste

    Nails are appendages of the:

    • Hair

    • Skin

    • Oil glands

    A. Skin
    Explanation
    Nails are appendages of the skin. They are made up of a protein called keratin, which is also found in the skin. Nails grow from the nail matrix, which is located at the base of the nail under the skin. The nail plate, the visible part of the nail, is formed as the cells in the matrix multiply and harden. Therefore, nails are considered to be a part of the skin's structure and are closely connected to it.

    Correct Answer
    A. Ringworm
    Explanation
    Ringworm is a highly contagious fungal infection that can be easily transmitted from person to person. It can spread through direct contact with infected skin or objects. Therefore, a nail technician should refuse to perform services on a client with ringworm to prevent the spread of the infection to other clients and themselves.

    • Pour into a trash receptacle

    Correct Answer
    A. Pour onto absorbent material and bag
    Explanation
    The correct answer is to pour the used monomer onto absorbent material and bag it. This is the appropriate way to dispose of used monomer as it helps to prevent any potential harm to the environment. Absorbent material helps to soak up the liquid, making it easier and safer to handle, while bagging it ensures that it is properly contained and can be disposed of in a responsible manner. Flushing it down the drain or pouring it into a trash receptacle can lead to pollution and contamination.

    • Protect a hangnail

    • Aid circulation

    • Repair bitten nails

    Correct Answer
    A. Repair bitten nails
    Explanation
    Artificial nails are used to repair bitten nails. Biting nails can cause damage and weaken the natural nails. Artificial nails provide a protective layer that covers the bitten nails, allowing them to grow and repair without further damage. They also help to improve the appearance of the nails, making them look more polished and presentable. By using artificial nails, individuals can avoid the temptation to bite their nails and promote healthier nail growth.

    During the consultation for manicure, the nail technician should consider which one of the following?

    • Shape of the nail

    • Shape of the arm

    • Shape of the nail file

    • Shape of the orangewood stick

    Correct Answer
    A. Shape of the nail
    Explanation
    During a manicure consultation, the nail technician should consider the shape of the nail. This is because the shape of the nail determines the overall look and style of the manicure. Different nail shapes, such as square, round, almond, or stiletto, can completely change the appearance of the nails. The nail technician needs to understand the client's preference and lifestyle to suggest the most suitable nail shape that will enhance the client's hands and complement their personal style.

    • Toe nail clipper

    • Toe nail separator

    • Foot file

    • Foot powder

    Correct Answer
    A. Foot file
    Explanation
    A foot file is used to remove dry skin or keratomas from the feet. It is a tool designed specifically for exfoliating and smoothing the skin on the feet. By gently rubbing the foot file against the dry or rough areas of the feet, it helps to remove dead skin cells and calluses, leaving the feet feeling softer and smoother. This is a common and effective method for foot care and maintaining healthy feet.

    • Improper beveling of the free edge

    • Oil traces on the nail plate

    • Split cuticles

    • Leuconychia

    Correct Answer
    A. Oil traces on the nail plate
    Explanation
    Oil traces on the nail plate can result in poor adhesion of polish because oil creates a barrier between the nail plate and the polish, preventing it from adhering properly. The oil can also cause the polish to chip or peel off more easily. To ensure good adhesion, it is important to thoroughly clean and dry the nail plate before applying polish.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    When applying acrylic nails, what will help the acrylic adhere to the natural nail?

    • Monomer

    • Catalyst

    • Primer

    • Lotion

    Correct Answer
    A. Primer
    Explanation
    A primer is used when applying acrylic nails to help the acrylic adhere to the natural nail. It creates a sticky surface that allows the acrylic to bond securely, ensuring that the nails stay in place for a longer period of time. Without a primer, the acrylic may not adhere properly to the natural nail, leading to lifting or chipping of the nails. Therefore, using a primer is essential in order to achieve a strong and long-lasting bond between the acrylic and natural nail.

    Correct Answer
    A. Physician
    Explanation
    A client with a disease of the fingernails should be referred to a physician because they are medical professionals trained to diagnose and treat various diseases and conditions, including those affecting the nails. A physician will have the knowledge and expertise to properly assess the client's condition, provide a correct diagnosis, and recommend appropriate treatment options. Manicurists, cosmetologists, and desairologists do not have the medical training necessary to address diseases of the fingernails.

    What should be done if a small dark spot appears on the nail plate under the artificial nail:

    • Wait until the condition worsens

    • Add additional acrylic

    • Cover the area with an extra coat of nail polish

    • Remove the product and inspect for any disorders

    Correct Answer
    A. Remove the product and inspect for any disorders
    Explanation
    If a small dark spot appears on the nail plate under the artificial nail, the best course of action would be to remove the product and inspect for any disorders. This is important because the dark spot could indicate an underlying issue or infection that needs to be addressed. By removing the product and inspecting the nail, any potential disorders can be identified and appropriate treatment can be administered. Waiting until the condition worsens, adding additional acrylic, or covering the area with an extra coat of nail polish would not address the underlying problem and could potentially make it worse.

    • It relaxes the client

    • It decreases nail growth

    • It increases blood circulation

    • It softens the skin

    Correct Answer
    A. It decreases nail growth
    Explanation
    A hand and arm massage has various benefits, including relaxation, increased blood circulation, and softened skin. However, it does not have any direct impact on nail growth. Nail growth is primarily determined by factors such as genetics, overall health, and nutrition. Therefore, a hand and arm massage would not be expected to decrease nail growth.

    Hot oit manicures should be recommended for clients who have:

    • Sculptured nails

    • Dry cuticles

    • Strong, hard nails

    • Smooth, soft hands

    Correct Answer
    A. Dry cuticles
    Explanation
    Hot oil manicures should be recommended for clients who have dry cuticles because the hot oil helps to moisturize and hydrate the cuticles, making them softer and more supple. This can help to prevent dryness, cracking, and peeling of the cuticles, promoting healthier and more attractive nails. Additionally, the hot oil can also improve blood circulation to the nail bed, promoting nail growth and overall nail health.

    Some no-light gels may be cured by:

    • Spraying with an activator

    • Exposure to UV light

    • Soaking in acetone

    • Applying nail polish

    Correct Answer
    A. Spraying with an activator
    Explanation
    Some no-light gels can be cured by spraying them with an activator. This activator helps to initiate the curing process, allowing the gel to harden and set. Unlike other methods such as exposure to UV light or soaking in acetone, spraying with an activator provides a quick and efficient way to cure the gel without the need for additional equipment or chemicals. Applying nail polish is not a method of curing the gel, so it is not the correct answer.

    Correct Answer
    A. The client has had a stroke
    Explanation
    Hand and arm massage should be avoided when the client has had a stroke because it can potentially worsen the condition.

    • Alcohol

    • Antiseptic

    • Sterile cotton square

    • Hospital grade disinfectant

    Correct Answer
    A. Hospital grade disinfectant
    Explanation
    To prevent the spread of disease, it is important for a nail tech to clean up blood spills using a hospital grade disinfectant. Hospital grade disinfectants are specifically designed to kill a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria and viruses, which can be present in blood. Using alcohol or antiseptic may not be effective in completely eliminating these pathogens, while a sterile cotton square may not have the necessary properties to disinfect the area properly. Therefore, a hospital grade disinfectant is the most appropriate product to ensure proper sanitation and prevent the spread of disease.

    • Eliminate the soaking portion of the manicure

    Correct Answer
    A. Have two sets of disinfected implements
    Explanation
    To avoid loss of time between appointments, it is recommended for the nail technician to have two sets of disinfected implements. This means that while one set of implements is being used on a client, the other set can be disinfected and prepared for the next client. This allows for a seamless transition between appointments without wasting time on sanitizing implements in between.

    When massaging arthritic hands, the manicurist must not perform a vigorous massage of the joints. This is because vigorous massage can potentially worsen the pain and discomfort associated with arthritis. Instead, they should focus on gentle techniques such as circular movements in the palm, effleurage strokes on the back of the hand, and firm stroking of the fingers to provide relief and relaxation without causing any harm or discomfort.
