Which component is commonly used to ensure adhesion between the nail plate and artificial nail product?

• A. Top coat
• B. Water
• C. Primer
• D. Yellow dye

Answer: (C)

Adhesion between the natural nail plate and an artificial nail product is enhanced by a bonding agent called primer. Primer prepares the nail surface by dehydrat­ing it, removing oils, and often creating a micro-roughened layer that the acrylic or gel can grip onto. It provides a chemical or mechanical anchor so the product adheres more securely and lifts are minimized. The other options don’t serve this bonding purpose: a top coat goes on after application to seal and shine, water adds moisture that can weaken bonding, and yellow dye has no role in adhesion. Primers can be acid-based or non-acid, chosen based on the specific nail condition and product system.
