11. Equipment
•Gloves the occupational safety and health act (OSHA) defines
PPE’s as specialized clothing or equipment worn by an employee
for protection against a hazard.
•The rulings from OSHA’s Universal Precautions standard (which
was an addition to the OSHA Act of 1970) provided the answer as
per federal standards.
•In 1996, the CDC expanded the concept of Univeral Precautions
(UP) and changed the term to Standard Precautions, though many
people use the terms interchangeably. Standard Precautions
expand the Universal Precautions Standards from masks, gloves
and eye protection and the recommendation of hepatitis B
vaccinations to include the protocols used to maintain and asepetic
field and to prevent cross-contamination and cross-infection in the
environment, the use of disposables and proper disposal of
contaminated waste, such as contaminated gauze and more.
•Nitrile gloves are believed to be the best choice for nail services.

12. Implements
•Multiuseare generally stainless steel, if they are to
maintain their quality, as they must be properly cleaned
and disinfected prior to use on another client.
•Single-use cannot be reused and must be thrown away
after a single use. It is recommended that nail
technicians have several clean and disinfected service
sets of implements available for use at all times.
–Metal pusher
–Nail nippersis a stainless steel implement
used to carefully trim away dead skin around
the nails.
–Tweezers
–Nail clippers

13. Implements
Tweezers
–Nail clippersused to shorten the free edge
quickly and efficiently.
–A nail technician needs at least three sets of
stainless steel implements in order to have a
completely clean and disinfected set ready for
each client.
–Remember, it can take approximately 15 to 20
minutes to properly clean and then disinfect
implements after each use, and 25 minutes
for the autovlaveprocess to be completed.

and refine surfaces, the 180 is used to shorten
and shape natural nails.

They are designed for buffing, polishing, and
removing very fine scratches.

•Base coat creates a colorless layer on the
natural nail and nail enhancement that promotes
the adhesion of polish. It also reduces the
potential for polish to develop a yellowish
staining or other discoloration on the natural nail
plate; some nail plates are especially
susceptible to stains from red or dark colors.
Base coats are also important to use on nail
enhancements under colored polish to prevent
surface staining. Like nail polishes, base coats
contain solvents designed to evaporate.

glycol, an ingredient that creates bridges
or cross-links between the keratin strands
