Question: 1 / 400

When applying polish, the brush should be placed?

Directly on the cuticle

1/8 to 1/16 in from cuticle area

It is important to apply polish carefully in order to create a neat and professional finish. Placing the brush directly on the cuticle (A) can lead to excess polish being applied and potentially smudging or bleeding onto the skin. Halfway down the nail (C) may not allow for full coverage and can create an uneven application. At the tip of the nail (D) may cause the polish to appear too thick and result in easy chipping. Placing the brush 1/8 to 1/16 inch from the cuticle area (B) allows for precise application and can prevent any polish from getting on the skin. This technique also helps to create a clean and even line between the polish and the cuticle for a polished look.
