17. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of acid-free or nonacid nail primers?
a. not corrosive to the skin
b. can use less product than acid-based nail primers
c. works as well as or better than acid-based nail primers
d. not corrosive to the eyes
18. Which abrasives should you avoid using on freshly applied enhancement products?
a. coarse-grit
b. medium-grit
c. fine-grit
d. buffer
19. Nail _____ is used on the natural nail prior to product application to assist in adhesion.
a. dehydrator
b. base
c. polish
d. primer
Answer (2)
Nail powders generally contain less benzoyl peroxide compared to acne treatments. Mixing more monomer than polymer creates a damp bead, and the mix ratio is essential for nail durability. Nonacid primers are beneficial as they are less corrosive, and coarse-grit abrasives should be avoided on new enhancements.

This response covers the differences between acne treatment benzoyl peroxide levels in nail powders, how to achieve the right bead consistency with monomer and polymer, and highlights the advantages of using nonacid primers while avoiding specific abrasives. It underscores the importance of correct ratios in the nail application process. Understanding these concepts is essential for effective nail care and enhancement. ;
