It is a condition where the melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin, produce an excess amount of pigment in the nail bed. This can be caused by various factors such as trauma, medications, hormonal changes, or underlying medical conditions. Melanonychia is typically harmless, but it is important to monitor any changes in the appearance of the nails and consult a healthcare professional if necessary.

    A nail supply that is placed under the free edge to form a nail enhancement is a:

    • A.

      Nail extender

    • B.

      Silk wrap

    • C.

      Nail form

    • D.

      Synthetic fiber

    Correct Answer
    C. Nail form
    Explanation
    A nail form is a tool used in nail enhancements to create an extension of the natural nail. It is placed under the free edge of the nail to provide support and structure for the nail enhancement. Unlike nail extenders, which are typically pre-made tips that are glued onto the natural nail, a nail form is a flexible piece of material that is customized and shaped to fit the individual's nail. It allows for a more precise and tailored nail enhancement application. Silk wraps and synthetic fibers are materials used in nail enhancements, but they are not specifically related to the use of a nail form.

    During removal, acrylic (methacrylate) enhancements should be soaked for:

    • A.

      20 to 30 seconds

    • B.

      5 to 10 minutes

    • C.

      20 to 30 minutes

    • D.

      45 to 60 minutes

    Correct Answer
    C. 20 to 30 minutes
    Explanation
    Acrylic (methacrylate) enhancements should be soaked for 20 to 30 minutes during removal. This is because acrylic enhancements are a type of artificial nails that are made of a combination of liquid monomer and powder polymer. Soaking them for this duration allows the acetone to penetrate and break down the acrylic, making it easier to remove without causing damage to the natural nails. Soaking for a shorter time may not fully dissolve the acrylic, while soaking for a longer time may unnecessarily prolong the removal process.

This means that the owner's personal assets are not at risk if the business faces financial difficulties or legal issues. Incorporation provides limited liability protection, which helps shield personal assets from business debts and lawsuits. By incorporating, the business owner can separate their personal finances from the business's finances, ensuring that their personal assets are protected.
