What is the purpose of artificial tips in nail care?

  1. To enhance nail strength

  2. To add length

  3. To prevent nail splitting

  4. To provide a glossy finish

The correct answer is: To add length

Artificial tips serve primarily to add length to the natural nails. When clients desire longer nails for aesthetic reasons or for specific nail art designs, tips are used as a practical solution to achieve that look quickly and effectively. This allows for versatility in nail design, enabling a variety of styles that may not be possible with the natural nail length alone. While the other options might touch on benefits that could inadvertently arise from using tips—such as a potential boost in strength or a shiny finish due to the application of products over the tips—they do not represent the primary intention behind their use. The primary purpose remains the extension of the nail, making it clear that their main function is to provide the added length that clients desire.
