After reading the table, I want you to answer the following questions in a
separate sheet of paper and consult the elders in your house to verify your
answers:
1. What paraphernalia are present in your house?
2. From the given pictures, how are you going to define paraphernalia in your
own words?
3. What are the importance of paraphernalia in nail care services?
Aside from the paraphernalia and tools, you need to be mindful with the
different equipment being utilized on the various tasks in performing nail care
services. I prepared a tabular form to show you the function of each
equipment. Let us begin by defining equipment. These are the items which
are durable and permanent needed for a particular activity or purpose.
Read over the table below for you to familiarize the equipment in nail care
services.
After reading along with the equipment, I want you answer the following
questions in the same sheet of paper (at the back) you used a while ago
and consult the elders in your household to verify your answers:
1. Which of the equipment / s are you familiar with?
2. Why do you think that is it essential to understand the function of each
equipment?
You are doing good! Now that you are familiar on the
different tools and equipment as well as their uses, you must
also understand the use of Personal Protective Equipment
which are vital in performing nail care services to protect
you from the harmful effects of chemicals.
Personal Protective
Function
Equipment
You need to wear an impermeable glove
to prevent skin from absorbing potentially
harmful ingredients which may cause skin
allergies irritation or other problems.
When performing nail care services your
eyes must be protected by an eyewear
from potential harm.
Good job! You successfully finished our virtual role playing, I hope
that you learned and acquired the necessary knowledge on the
tools and equipment used in a required task in nail care services.
In addition to the safety procedures, you must have in mind the safety
protocols in this time of pandemic. Social distancing, wearing of face shield
and mask must always be observed. Likewise, washing of hands and using
alcohol and sanitizers are great agents to prevent the spread of Corona virus.
I believe that you are now ready to move forward and use the tools and
equipment according to task requirement while observing the safety
procedures. I have prepared learning tasks that will surely help you to
achieve your targets in this lesson. Good luck and keep going!

6 Days
The nail is a transparent platelike keratinous structure made up of highly
specialized epithelial cells. Your nails serve the following important
purposes:
• They support humans in their everyday activities. Nails are flat versions of
claws that aid humans in digging, climbing, scratching, grabbing, and other
activities.
• They protect you from getting hurt. They function as protective plates,
preventing cuts and scrapes on the fingers and toes during everyday
activities.
• They contribute to the experience. Nerve endings in the fingers and toes
allow the body to process the vast quantities of data obtained every time
something is touched, and the nail acts as a counterforce, providing even
more sensory feedback after a person touches something.
A regular quality nail care ensures that your nails remain healthy and capable
of performing their functions. Nails that are neat, trimmed, and well-cared for make
a statement about your health and appearance.
Nails are continually developing, but due to poor circulation and aging, their
rate of growth slows. Fingernails grow three millimeters per month faster than toenails.
A fingernail takes six months to develop from the root to the free tip. Toenails grow at
a much slower rate, measuring just 1 millimeter per month. From root to tip, a toenail
takes 12 to 18 months to develop.
Now, I want you to explore, analyze and understand the diagram of nail
structure below.
Nail Structure
The nail structure is mainly divided into parts such as root, nail bed, nail plate,
matrix, lunula, free edge, eponychium, nail walls, hyponychium, and nail fold. Each
of these components has a specific function that should not be interrupted to have
a normal appearance of nail. Read the content of the illustration below to
understand each part of the nail.
I hope
you
gained the necessary knowledge about the nail structure to develop your
understanding regarding its functions that you can use whenever you will be
performing nail care services. Now, it is time for you to discover the different nail
shapes that you need to know as a nail care technician so that you can precisely
determine which style is best for your client. You will need to take into consideration
the finger shape, nail bed and nail length.
Nail Shapes
When selecting a nail shape, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the
different options available. Bear in mind that nail conforms to that of fingertips of an
individual. Nail shape is the foundation and basis of a goof manicure. The right shape
will flatter your entire hand and make it look more appealing, in addition to
complementing your choice of color or design. The form of your manicure has more
strength than you might imagine, from elongating short fingers to accentuating nice
nails. The following illustration is your visual guide in identifying the different shapes of
nail.
Fig. 2. Nail Shapes
I hope that at this point, you already have the idea regarding the
appropriate nail shapes that would suit the finger shape, nail bed and
nail length of your clients. You may now, move ahead to the next
page of this module and read along with the procedures in cutting or
trimming the nails.
