What is a dry cabinet used for?

To disinfect tools and equipment
To store products against humidity
To store finished nail products
To display nail polish options

The correct answer is: To store products against humidity

A dry cabinet is specifically designed to store products in a controlled environment, which protects them from humidity and moisture. Humidity can adversely affect various nail products, including nail polishes and gels, potentially altering their consistency and effectiveness. By utilizing a dry cabinet, nail technicians ensure that their products remain stable, resilient, and ready for use. The other choices represent functions that either don't accurately describe the primary purpose of a dry cabinet or involve processes that are managed differently. For instance, disinfecting tools and equipment typically requires sterilization methods like autoclaving or using disinfectants rather than storage in a dry cabinet. Storing finished nail products may not require the same humidity control and is often done in regular storage areas. Displaying nail polish options is usually accomplished with open displays, which would not provide the protection from humidity that a dry cabinet offers.
