For a proper adhesion of nail tips, what technique should be employed?

The technique of "stop, rock, and hold" is essential for achieving proper adhesion of nail tips. This approach involves a series of deliberate actions that help ensure the nail tip is securely attached to the natural nail.

When you stop, you momentarily pause after placing the tip on the nail to confirm it's in the right position without pressing too hard, which helps prevent air bubbles from forming or shifting the tip. The rocking motion allows the technician to ease the tip into a better fit as it gently slides against the natural nail, which helps in spreading the adhesive evenly. Finally, holding the tip in place after this motion ensures that the adhesive sets correctly, providing a secure bond that enhances the durability of the nail enhancement.

Using this technique maximizes the surface area for adhesive contact and minimizes the chances of lifting or separation, which can occur if the tip is not applied correctly.
