What is the recommended action if there is lifting of a nail enhancement?

Ignore it and let it grow out
Reapply polish over it
Remove the enhancement and reapply correctly
Fill the lifted area with more acrylic

The correct answer is: Remove the enhancement and reapply correctly

When lifting of a nail enhancement occurs, the recommended action is to remove the enhancement and reapply it correctly. Lifting can lead to various issues, including moisture getting trapped beneath the enhancement, which can cause fungal infections or other nail diseases. Simply ignoring it or allowing it to grow out does not address the underlying problem and can exacerbate potential health risks. Reapplying polish over the lifted area may provide a temporary aesthetic solution, but it does not rectify the lifting issue, and could further damage the nail or trap debris and moisture. Filling the lifted area with more acrylic does not resolve the original lifting problem and could lead to further lifting, as the underlying nail may not be properly adhering. Therefore, the most effective and safe action is to carefully remove the existing enhancement, assess the nail condition, and properly reapply the enhancement to ensure a secure and healthy nail.
