In nail care, where should the blending of the tip be performed?

Blending of the nail tip should be performed at the contact area, which is where the artificial tip meets the natural nail. This area is critical for ensuring a seamless transition between the two surfaces, which helps to create a natural-looking enhancement. Proper blending at the contact area minimizes the visibility of the tip and prevents lifting, which can lead to premature separation and damage to the natural nail.

When blending is done correctly at this site, it not only enhances the aesthetic appearance but also contributes to the durability of the nail enhancement. This approach ensures that the edges are smooth and flush against the natural nail, providing better adhesion and preventing water or debris from getting trapped underneath, which could cause lifting or infections.
