Hyponychium<\/div>

\n

The Hyponychium is the nail seal at the distal edge of the nail bed. A slightly thickened layer of skin, it lies beneath the free edge of the nail plate.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_1246a1b7fb9bed3e4702bd0168f71114":"

Nail plate<\/div>

\n

Hard layers of modified and keratinised skin cells, bonded together, to form a protective plate on the end of each finger and toe, that prevents damage to the underlying bone and allows for manual dexterity.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_34e670f952d5804ac824cb93d6737e74":"

Pterygium<\/div>

\n

This is an unhealthy overgrowth of the proximal nail fold when the skin extends onto the nail plate. This should not be treated and needs medical attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_ac495df187bbf96e6482b41f45437ba1":"

Nail unit<\/div>

\n

The nail unit is an anatomically correct term used to describe the area at the end of fingers and toes. A relatively complicated area that protects the last bone and aids dexterity.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_c1a36df0013019a12f8f575de70e853d":"

Nail bed<\/div>

Chemical<\/div>

\n

A chemical is a form of matter that can exist as a gas, a solid, a liquid or plasma. Everything in the universe is a chemical except for energy: heat and light. We are made of 100% chemicals; the air is full of chemicals; water is a chemical. Marketing terms that use \u2018chemical free\u2019 are misleading and just wrong. NOTHING except energy is chemical free. It is a way for marketers to provide a false sense of security that is, plainly, unethical.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_a94c3bad4f9dcf2a5f6fcaba474a9914":"

Matrix<\/div>

\n

The area, beneath the proximal nail fold ,where stem cells modify skin cells into the cells of the nail plate.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_5c525ee1d52bc291bccb4abb30f8d973":"

Nail technician<\/div>

\n

Someone who is qualified to provide a wide range of nail services.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_e4531ac60c2cb1fbabc9f3c62c5f342c":"

Manicure<\/div>

\n

A manicure is a treatment to help improve the condition and appearance of the hands and fingernails. Usually consists of cuticle removal, shaping of the natural nail's free edge, moisturizing, and color or high shine on the nail.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_6e4b2c42b82604c2f739d01368901b8a":"

Cure \/ Curing<\/div>

\n

This is the term used to describe the polymerization process for the acrylics (whether uv gels or l&p systems) used in nail coatings. A 'proper cure' is what should be achieved which is when, at least, 80% of the coating has been polymerised. Anything less than this is considered to be 'under-cured' and can cause an allergic reaction. \"Over-curing\" would be when the nail coating is cured in a lamp that has a stronger output than what the manufacturer recommends, and it will make the nail coating brittle.<\/p>\n<\/div>","cmtt_5b6f240c029c29976a6cfb6d1aa4a60d":"

Inverse pterygium<\/div>

\n

Inverse pterygium is a condition characterized by the growth of skin or tissue from the proximal nail fold over the nail plate towards the distal end. Unlike a regular pterygium, which grows from the nail bed towards the cuticle, an inverse pterygium grows from the skin around the nail.<\/p>\n<\/div>"}}; -->
