- A.
Reticular Layer
- B.
Epidermal layer
- C.
Papillary layer
- D.
Adipose Layer
Correct Answer

This layer is located directly beneath the epidermis and is composed of loose connective tissue. It contains elastic fibers that provide elasticity to the skin, allowing it to stretch and then return to its original form. The reticular layer, epidermal layer, and adipose layer do not have the same elastic properties as the papillary layer, making them incorrect choices.Rate this question:

When applying polish, which one of the following can be used to correct a smudge before applying more polish?
- A.
Alcohol

- C.
Buff shine from nail
- D.
Apply antiseptic
Correct Answer
A. File free edgeExplanation
If the nail plates are touched prior to nail tip application, the nail technician should file the free edge.

- A.
Pumice stone
- B.
Metal file
- C.

Block buffer
Correct Answer
D. Block bufferExplanation
A block buffer is a tool used in nail care to smooth out the surface of the nail. It is a rectangular block with different grits on each side, allowing the technician to gradually buff away any ridges or imperfections on the nail. Unlike a metal file, which can be too harsh and abrasive, a block buffer provides a gentler and more controlled approach to achieving a smooth and even nail surface. Pumice stone and powdered alum are not typically used for this purpose, as they are more commonly used for exfoliating and cleansing the skin.Rate this question:

- A.
Excessive oils
- B.
Hand creams
- C.

Before manicuring implements are used, they should be
- A.
Wiped with a towel
- B.
Wipe with cotton
- C.
Cleaned and disinfected
- D.
Dipped in hot water
Correct Answer
C. Cleaned and disinfectedExplanation
Manicuring implements, such as nail clippers, cuticle pushers, and nail files, come into contact with the skin and nails, making them susceptible to bacteria and infection. Therefore, it is important to clean and disinfect these tools before use to ensure that they are free from any harmful bacteria or germs. Wiping with a towel or cotton may remove some visible dirt or debris, but it may not effectively eliminate all bacteria. Dipping in hot water alone may not be sufficient to kill all the bacteria present. Therefore, the best practice is to clean and disinfect the implements to maintain proper hygiene and prevent the spread of infections.Rate this question:
