Ohio State Board Nail Technician Practice Exam

Nail wrap maintenance is applied to the new growth only, which is the area of nail growth at the base of the nail. It is incorrect to apply maintenance to the entire nail or just the tip, as this could damage the existing nail wrap. The base of the nail is also not the correct area for maintenance, as this refers to the area where the nail meets the skin, not the new growth of the nail. Therefore, the new growth only is the most appropriate and safe area for nail wrap maintenance application.
