disadvantages of frosted enamel?

[emily22]

:cry: Hi, am just finishing my revision for my mock exam tommorow!

Can anyone tell me what the disadvantages are for using a frosted enamel answer has to be out of the following choices....

a) it emphasises the blue colour of hands / feet with poor circulation
b) it attracts attention to imperfections on the nails
c) they can cause the nail to split
d) they can attract ultra violet rays and increase the risk of sunburn to the skin

2 question (well more of a confirmation really!)

emery boards cannot be sterilised because they are made of absorbant fibrous material and will disintegrate??

any help would be sooooo much appreciated!

:green:

My guess would be "b".

But, I personally love frosted nail enamel.

If frosted enamel shows imperfections in the nails then why do we have to use a creme enamel when competing?

Watching this one with interest...........

It does seem contradictory, doesn't it? I know that it's what we were taught in school.

good point there.
but its deffo none of the others.

frankly i think that polish of any sort other than clear or glitter shows up imperfections. thats why youll often see me sporting glitter polishon my manky digits:o

lol! Thanks for all the replies! I asked my tutor this question today and she didnt have a clue. I thought B, but she said no, if she had to choose she would say A. Just have to hope it doesnt come up in the exam, if it does ill have a guess at B!
I had my mock theory today and got 92%! I was sooo pleased as i cant tell you how stressed out ive been over it all! Ive got a few more weeks now until the real exam so im going to do some steady revising until then!

One question that came up on our paper today was 'beau's lines are characterised by what?'
a) multiple longitudinal furrows affecting a single nail
b)multiple transverse furrows affecting a single nail
c) a single transverse furrow affecting all the nails
d) a single longitudinal furrow affecting all the nails.

I answered 'B' but tutor says this was incorrect and that the answer is actually C. This has confused me as she gave us a previous practice test earlier in the course and the same question was in that one, at that time the answer was 'B'! I told her this and offered to show her my previous paper that she had marked but she was having none of it. The thing thats got me is that those previous papers are what she told us to revise from!

If anyone can help with this query I would soooooo appreciate it! Sorry to keep on, you have all helped me so much throughout my course and I cant tell you how grateful I am! I think if it wasnt for this website Id have given up on my course a long time ago as our tutor's teaching methods have a lot to be desired for!

are you doing itec beauty by any chance ??if so when i did mine they had some papers with wrong answers on em so you answered it right but they marked it wrong !! hth

 

[Tiger Jay]

To my knowledge beau's line are horizontal transverse ridges which may effect either all nails or just the thumbs. Usually seen in the middle of the nail, often present due to an illness a few weeks before.

So where do you get clues from if your tutor doesnt know?

when in doubt GOOGLE IT
'beau's lines - Google Search
they sound like pretty difficult exams

I don't remember the answer off the top of my head, but I read it in Doug Shoon's Product chemistry two weeks ago. My book is at the salon so I can´t even look it up for you ... but I think Tiger Jay's got it right as far as I remember

You should really consider getting the book. It will help you loads for the examn I'm sure... and it's really interesting reading!

I've got Marian Newman's book, The Complete Nail Technician (Vol 2)...here's what it says...

Beau's lines are horizontal ridges across the nail plate, mechanical trauma, eg overbuffing or artificial nails or systemic causes, for example illness, drugs, skin disorders around the cuticle area. They will grow out.

by 'artificial nails' I'm presuming she means overfiling by the technician OR improper removal by the client, therefore causing undue stress and trauma to the nail plate.
It's a fab book that you can't afford to be without, along with Doug Schoon's book too.

c) a single transverse furrow affecting all the nails
d) a single longitudinal furrow affecting all the nails.

I answered 'B' but tutor says this was incorrect and that the answer is actually C.

I would have thought that the question answers itself in as much as the multiple or single furrow aspect.

Why call them Beau's LineS if there was only one?
